Like many people who grew up with Barbie in some capacity, the visuals enchanted me from the moment I watched the trailer. I figured that the plot would be corny, but the visuals alone would make watching this personified Barbie movie worth it. Have you seen the Architectural Digest video of the Barbie Dreamhouse? It …

Another catch is that the verb “encantar” means “to love” or “to enchant.” Sounds fitting for this movie, right? If you’re learning Spanish, …
At first, I did not care to watch Queens. There was a lot of promotion via commercials and billboards and I thought to myself, “Oooh, Brandy, Eve, and Naturi are on it,” but that’s about it. I didn’t think about watching it nor was I compelled to. Until I randomly decided to check it out …
