Leave it to Reynolds and Branagh to heat up the Cold War. Ever since the 1980s, we’ve been getting a number of buddy action comedies from “48 Hours” to “Lethal Weapon” to […]

Cars
20 years old and it still has the horse power. When I saw Disney and Pixar’s “Cars” 20 years ago, I never dreamed I would write this review in my adulthood. And […]
