Pretty much the only entertaining movies based on classic TV shows are “Starsky and Hutch” and the “21 Jump Street” movies, whereas some (I won’t point out any names) are either mean-spirited […]
Alien: Covenant
In my review of last March’s alien bomb “Life,” I predicted Ridley Scott’s “Alien: Covenant” would be more entertaining, and I was right. In fact, it’s more entertaining than Scott’s predecessor “Prometheus.” […]
