‘Tron: Ares’ is certainly a story set in the Tron universe
By Carly Shaner
I watched both “Tron” movies for the first time this past summer, and I don’t know why I didn’t sooner. My expectations going into “Ares” were just as high as when I first watched “Legacy." Were they met? Yes and no.

‘The Senior’ falls flat by refusing to let the genre rest
By Josh Ball
