    Keith Garlington – Fordyce, Arkansas – I'm a movie junkie with a passion for cinema that found its genesis in the 1980s. Sure I have a real job, but it's nowhere near as fun as film criticism. This site is my chance to share my reviews of new movies, old movies, and everything in between. Not to mention trailers, movie news, and an assortment of hopefully fun features.

    This is a great reminder that there is so much in animation I didn’t see!

        I’m really intrigued to. Gonna grab some names and search them through IMDB

  2. Nice little recap of the year’s animated offerings! I would put Incredibles 2, Maquia, and Next Gen a bit higher, personally, but I have no major qualms with putting Spider-Man at #1. Honestly, I like it more in retrospect every day.

    Happy New Year!

      Happy New Year! They are all so different but special

  3. I especially want to see the My Hero Academia movie, now that I’ve finished season 3 of the anime. I kind of regret not catching it in theaters, but you must have liked it to rank it in your top 10.
