You recall that last June I gave “The Mummy” reboot a scathing review for lacking the sense of adventure and for tainting Tom Cruise’s charms and profession. Most recently, Cruise stars in […]

The Lego Ninjago Movie
With all these “Lego” movies, I think it’s pretty obvious why I didn’t review “The Emoji Movie.” Because these films live in the world of Legos, and not CGI garbage. This year, […]
Kingsman: The Golden Circle
It would be generic for me to deliver to you the aspects of sequels-wanted or unwanted-so, I’m not gonna say it. I never wanted a sequel to “Horrible Bosses,” “Neighbors,” or “Daddy’s […]
