While Matt had to use a tiebreaker to decide whether or not he liked Oz the Great and Powerful, I liked it for what it was. James Franco was a little out of place, Zach Braff is a terrible monkey, and some of the animat...

How long has it been since we've had an actual, hand drawn Mickey Mouse cartoon? Too long. Sure there's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, but it's all CG. I remember having an awesome time watching Mickey Mouseworks (later transformin...
