This sequel lacks the laughs and superpowers of the original. It’s amazing to me that despite the fact that Billy Batson can switch back and forth from a human teen to an […]
Shazam: Fury of the Gods
Boston Strangler
We need a good story for the papers. The second film version about the Boston Strangler comes to Hulu this week under the name “Boston Strangler.” What else? The killer has murdered […]
65
A real dino-sized mess from two of the geniuses behind “A Quiet Place” I hope you don’t forget to bring your I.D. for “Scream VI” or at least take your friend’s advice […]

Shotgun Wedding
Don’t RSVP to this wedding. Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel are two of our most appealing hot stars. They both should know better than to succumb to the idiocy and cliches of […]
