Andrea’s Angle | “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken” – Full of Depth

Andrea’s Angle | “The Son” – Tragic but Flat

Andrea’s Angle | “Minions: The Rise of Gru” Hits All the Right Notes
I loved the “Despicable Me” films and the first “Minions” movie. While they are billed as children’s films, there is just something silly and fun about the franchise.
