An American Film Geek's Top Ten of 2017

Review: MINIONS Tickles Funnybone, But Scratches No Itch
(Nevertheless it will make.... MILLIONS!) In the increasingly vast catalog of computer-generated animated feature films, the two Despicable Me films aren't exactly considered to be top tier. Weak in story and painfully sentimental, what watchability they have is completely owned...
