Hops and Box Office Flops: ‘GI JOE: THE MOVIE’
At Ease, Disease GI Joe: The Movie was meant for big things. Like Transformers and My Little Pony, it would be the property’s big screen debut. The failures of those two prevented it from ever getting the chance, though. Even worse, it was meant to serve as a lead-in to the third season of the television show that, ultimately, never happened.

Spoiler Free Review: Pixar’s SOUL
When the aspiring musician Joe ends up in trouble, he finds himself becoming a mentor in something he least expected. When I started my viewing of Pixar Animation Studio’s latest movie, a feeling of nervousness started to creep up. Everyone and their grandmother hailed this movie as Pixar’s next cinematic masterpiece. And as the credits started to roll, the shoulder started to ease up.
