Movie Review: ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’
I’m not going to go into a lot of depth about the story in “Bad Boys: Ride or Die.” Miami detectives Mike Lowery (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are back to have another cop adventure.

Movie Review: ‘The Garfield Movie’
“Garfield and Friends,” based on comic strips by Jim Davis, was one of my favorite cartoons growing up.

Movie Review: ‘IF’
My biggest complaint about writer/director/star John Krasinski’s new movie “IF”… is that it’s a movie. What I mean is that Krasinski clearly has some broad ideas for worldbuilding and there are many interesting characters in the mix, but the movie has to rush so much to stay within the “movie” format of a two-hour runtime […]
