Casper (1995) review

Rated: 3.5 / 5 What's it like to die? Like... being born, only backwards. I actually liked this mid-90s kid flick.  Not something you're going to hear me say too often, because aside from the animated Disney flicks, 9 times out of 10, 90s kid films sucked ass.  The 3 Ninja movies sucked ass (though … Continue reading Casper (1995) review
