Take a nostalgia trip with The Peanuts Movie
For as long as I can remember I have loved the Peanuts comic strip. Who hasn’t? Charles Schulz’s beloved characters have been cultural mainstays since they were introduced 50 years ago.

Just five years ago, Pixar seemed like they could do no wrong with their films.

Apart from her title […]
Feature: History of Thanksgiving football
One of my favorite traditions on Thanksgiving, after eating a big meal at my grandpa’s house, is to sit and watch the one sport that is exclusively an American tradition.
