Last week, “The Emoji Movie” came out, and for an animated movie, it suffered one of the worst ratings on Rotten Tomatoes (8%). I skipped it, because I deserve to see better, […]
The Lion King
Girls Trip
“Girls Trip” may be rated R, but it’s also good-natured and funny-the kind I’ve admired about last year’s “Bad Moms.” Ryan (Regina Hall), Sasha (Queen Latifah), Lisa (Jada Pinkett Smith), and Dina […]
Despicable Me 3

Sam Elliott has given many memorable performances, including his in “The Big Lebowski” and “I’ll See You in My Dreams,” and “The Hero” continues his legacy. This is one of his absolute […]
Some Like it Hot (1959)
“White Chicks” was an awful comedy, which, to me, takes place in a parallel world, where every character is so stupid that not even dead giveaways can prove Shawn and Marlon Wayans […]
