I rented Maleficent today. I was looking for something not based in reality. Since this is a new DVD release, I figured it would do. In general, I enjoyed the movie. I enjoy retelling of the classic fairy tales. It’s always interesting to see things from different points of view. This was no exception. Like Wicked: The Life…
