Once upon a time, I read a piece on the Internet where Neil Gaiman extolled the virtues of Susanna Clarke's novel, JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL.

The Justice League is back, and ready to hit the bad guys like a ton of bricks. LEGO bricks, that is.

The root story behind MATCH is a simple one, but therein lies its mystery as well.

Marrying up the fairy tales of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, THE SEVENTH DWARF comes up short in story and in film quality, coming nowhere near the levels set by HOODWINKED or the SHREK franchise.
