There are some good reasons to take the kids to the movies this Thanksgiving week. In Frozen 2, we have a long-awaited sequel that thankfully doesn’t disappoint. Maleficent Mistress of Evil is also better than I expected. The title heroine wrestles with her dark side even after she has been a mother for Sleeping Beauty. […]
