The Beguiled – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Some time ago I said that the only reason I would head off to NY for a movie is if I was absolutely sure it would be worth the trip. Needless to say, I didn’t think The Beguiled will be worth it. Especially since, in a rare indie showing, it became local to me the…

Overview The Boxtrolls is a kid’s movie which shows how foolish, arrogant and gullible adults are. Even when all the evidence needed is right before their eyes.
