Running Time: 101 min.

Once again, what is funny to some is certainly not to others. A couple of weeks back, I saw a Zach Galifianakis comedy that I got a kick of out... it was strange, surreal, and brought a smile to my face.

Big New Releases!

Alice Through the Looking Glass - The sequel to 2010’s Alice in Wonderland didn’t make much of an impact the box office this summer. After learning that the Mad Hatter is in a near-death state, Alice returns to Wonderland where she attempts to help her friend and other residents by turning back time. While a few appreciated the darker tone, notices were generally poor for this follow-up. It...
