Disney released “A Wrinkle in Time” Feb. 26, which is based on the novel by Madeleine L'Engle.

Pokken Tournament, a game recently released by Nintendo, has found its place in my collection. It is similar to the Super Smash Brothers games in that it is a fighting-based game but among the differences is that all the playable characters are the lovable little creatures called Pokemon.
