ZOOTOPIA, City of Fun and Tolerance
In Walt Disney Animation's newest family romp, Zootopia, we follow the story of Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin), an optimistic and positive up beat bunny who dreams of becoming a cop in Zootopia, a city inhabited by anthropomorphic animals of all kinds where the smallest mouse to the largest elephant can be anything from a restaurant server to the CEO of a major company.

"GREAT SCOTT": A Back to the Future Tribute
Well we're here! October 21, 2015, the day when Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel into the future from Back to the Future Part II. People, especially BTTF fanatics like myself, have been waiting for this day to come for years.

"Dope" is Dope is Overused....but True.
It is rare to get a film that is original, clever, funny,and takes you to an unfamiliar environment. Dope is certainly one of those films. Directed by Rick Famuyiwa, the film follows the story of Malcolm (Shameik Moore), his friends Jib (Tony Revolori), and Diggy (Kiersey Clemons), who are high school geeks obsessed with hip hop culture of the 1990s. This fun for them, and at the same time not so fun for them because they grow up in Inglewood, California where gangs run the streets. They are constantly picked on for not just being geeks, but …
