By Mark Saldana  Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Based on the popular novel by Kevin Kwan, Jon M.

Review: CHRISTOPHER ROBIN

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Unlike last year’s Goodbye Christopher Robin, which serves as a biopic for Winnie-the-Pooh creator A.A. Milne, this live-action/CGI Disney production is pure fantasy.  Acting as a sequel to all of the fictionalized Christopher Robin/Winnie-the-Pooh stories, this film examines what could happen when the title character is… Continue reading Review: CHRISTOPHER ROBIN
