Either you’re intrigued to see how the society functioned in Jane Eyre or you just enjoy historical humor such as in King’s Man, or you’re a hopeless romantic and love the story of Pride and Prejudice – whatever the case, period movies offer it all. Period movies offer us the chance to escape into times when it wasn’t necessarily better or easier, but the movies romanticize the struggles for us....

Instead, Grammy winning artist Chance the Rapper has been tapped to host the series.

DVcWadffen7Bfc I wasn’t expecting a lot out of this one–it’s a direct to video sequel to a direct to video movie that didn’t do all that well in the first place. But I have to be honest with you…after watching the first five minutes, I was downright amazed. And if you can get my attention in the first five minutes, congratulations–you’ll have to REALLY screw up the rest of the movie to do poorly....
