In recent years Disney hasn’t had a big role to play in the live-action, big-budget feature film business. The Mouse House has had successes with its National Treasure franchise and did okay with Tron: Legacy over the holidays a year and a half ago.

Last week Ringer threw all of its characters into cars and had them follow each other in pursuit of Martin/Charles financial records and flash drives.

Hola Smash fans! TVAngie is busy writing hate mail to Katherine McPhee, so she asked me to step in for this week’s episode. While I’ll confess that I’m enjoying the show more than my writing partner, I’m still finding some fairly significant faults in the singing saga. Will tonight be the night things begin to gel a bit more?
