Doug Reviews: Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016)
Director James Bobin takes over from Tim Burton with Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glass. The film has sumptuous visuals, but was it really necessary? I’ve never seen 2010’s Alice in Wonderland, and even I can answer that question. Continue reading
Doug Reviews: Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016)

The first movie was solid, while the second was far shakier, but three had a great villain in Philip Seymour Hoffman and 2011’s Ghost Protocol marked a kind of renaissance for the series. Now with the fifth entry in the series, Rogue Nation, the message seems to be, “if ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Continue reading
