This film is like watching kittens drown for two hours straight.

The Peanuts Movie (Film Review)
Despite being sweet and occasionally funny, The Peanuts Movie relies too heavily on unnecessary nostalgia and slapstick to support its affectionately straightforward plot. The film can be summarized as 30 minutes of main plot (enough for a TV special) and 60 minutes of filler (enough to qualify for the usual theatrical release). The film’s plot is deceptively simplistic: Charlie Brown wishes to appear exceptional to the little redhead girl, yet continuously “screws up” every goal set. Meanwhile, Snoopy gets into various antics (mostly involving the Red Baron) while the other Peanuts get their share of appearances, gags and slapstick.

The Adventures of André and Wally B. (A "Short" Review)
Welcome to A Short Review! A new series where I review short films in under 300 words (or more if I feel like it :p). I figured with Pixar releasing two films this year, now would be the perfect time to begin such series with the Pixar shorts—one each day from November 9th to the 24th (counting down the days until The Good Dinosaur is released). I’ll begin with Pixar’s (then called The Graphics Group) first film ever made—The Adventures of AndrĂ© and Wally B.

Crimson Peak (Quick Review)
Where Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak lacks in originality, it makes up for with entertaining characters, solid performances, and an exquisite set piece.
