Dear Reader, The Disney movie Peter Pan was one of the few movies I watched regularly as a young child. It also helped that there was a fantastic documentary, Making of Peter Pan, on the VHS. Half of the time I watched that tape for the documentary alone. The book Straight on Til […]
Dear Reader, I was avoiding the movie, Frozen, for years because I had no interest in watching it. I only watched it recently to do a review of Conceal, Don’t Feel by Jen Calonita and I have to say I like this book better than the movie it is based on. In fact, […]
