So, I recently attended an advanced screening of Disney's newest animated musical "Frozen", which opens on November 27. I liked it a lot (though Epic is still my favourite animated film of the year, thus far) and wrote a full, non-spoiler review for the online web-magazine I write for.

Lately, I've become rather discouraged by the general negativity that tends to surround films where we've see only a trailer or even merely read a press release about the upcoming production. I feel it's led to a generation that is just bitter and just can't walk into a film with an open mind. That's why I've recently vowed to not say a single negative thing about a movie until I actually watch the whole film from start to finish.Last week, I wrote an article explaining why I've taken this stance and would like to know what you think, so give it a read: http://www.thescenemagazine.ca/a-new-philosophy-on-upcoming-movies/
