After about a 3 year hiatus from the movie industry, Angelina Jolie comes back with Maleficent , an incredible adaptation of the popular Snow White story but this time all focus was on the evil Queen. Have you ever wondered why villains are villains? Ever thought if villains at one point in time had an iota of goodness in them or what happened to them to become monsters? Personally, I do not care. Just let the hero win at the end of the day. Maleficent was a happy and fun-loving fairy whom everybody liked in her kingdom until she was 16 and she fell in love with a boy named Stefan ( Sharlto Copley ). Stefan was an orphan who had little or nothing for himself and was determined to live the good life. The King of the human kingdom, after being injured by Maleficent in a war decided to enthrone whoever kills her. Stefan took on the task but was unable to kill Maleficent, instead he cut off her wings. Devastated by the betrayal, Maleficent goes dark and is filled with hatred. She tur

A romantic comedy drama about a guy, Tim ( Domhnall Gleeson ) who finds out from his father on his 21st birthday that he can travel back in time. He tries to improve his future by changing his past with this ability. He gets married and starts a family. Later on, he loses an important person in his life which makes him realize that time travel can't solve every problem.

Blended is about a father of 3 girls, Jim Friedman ( Adam Sandler ), who recently lost his wife, and a mother of 2 boys, Lauren Reynolds ( Drew Barrymore ), who’s recently divorced. They go on a blind date that turns out terrible and somehow they end up in South Africa for a 1-week trip, both families. They even share the same suite.

It’s the same plot because they go on a trip and end up falling in love. Bella Thorne , the gi rl from Disney’s Shake it up plays the oldest daughter of Jim Friedman, she’s really grown from the little girl she used to be. Terry Crews plays the African performer Nickens. It was a terrible role for him to play. I mean they could have used a less popular actor and he still would have pulled it off. I really don’t know whether Shaquille is trying to enter the movie industry becaus
