It’s been awhile since I talked about my Oreo fetish, so are you in for a treat! While I know you Oreo purists out there gag at the mere thought of even a vanilla Oreo, just hear me out.

And now you’re bringing us Maleficent, a sure-to-be monster hit even if Angelina Jolie wasn’t in it. But she is. So it’ll be crazytacular! I was already seriously intrigued by Maleficent just based on the overall premise. Wicked’s a fantastic story because it tells you …
