Hallucinogenic rabbit poop has never been used so effectively as a plot device – to my knowledge – as it is in a new horror/comedy/coming-of-age madcap survival adventure. Clearly, there is a lot going on in writer-director Ninian Doff’s debut feature film “Get Duked!” – and somehow all its …

Before discussing the new Disney+ adaptation of Katherine Applegate’s “The One and Only Ivan,” I think it is only fair that readers know I haven’t actually read the book yet. My mom has, and she told me about important parts in the plot. “The One and Only Ivan” debuted exclusively on Disney+…
