By Laurie Coker Rating: C Ferdinand is a great deal of bull. Even with voice talent as varied as the bulls in the yard, the picture book turned animated feature, Ferdinand, fails to please audience members over the age of six or seven. There just isn’t much meat on the bones of the story. The… Continue reading Review: FERDINAND

Review: STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI
By Laurie Coker Rating: A- Keeping pace with a giant is no easy task and saying that the Star Wars franchise is a giant underestimates it.
