Fan Friction: MALEFICENT – Disney’s Latest Fail

SPOILERS. I do not like Angelina Jolie, but when I say she was the best part of this 97-minute Disney flick, I mean that with the utmost respect and complimentary intentions. I went into this movie really hoping that it would change my opinion about SLEEPING BEAUTY and make me … Get hard
