They say that you learn something new every day, at least that’s what someone will tell you when surprised by a fact they didn’t know. So imagine my surprise when I learned that somehow a Netflix reboot of Man on Fire had escaped my notice, with Wonder Man star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II taking up
I’m just going to throw this out there: I have been categorically against Disney’s live-action remake of Tangled. Blame it on bias, lingering cars from 2019’s Aladdin, or just plain old contrarianism - I just haven’t been able to get excited. At least, that was the case until today’s
