Dark Shadows (2012) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : When a Gothic Vampire meets the 1970s

We Bought a Zoo (2011) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : They start over…. with a zoo
In Cameron Crowe’s new film “We bought a Zoo”, the hero says at one point that sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. I guess that is what he has when he makes an important decision for … Continue reading
Puss in Boots (2011) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Two cats and one egg
When “Shrek Forever After” was released in 2010, it was advertised as the last installment of the series, but, in the age of countless sequels, we all knew that was far from being true. As a matter of fact, because … Continue reading
