Every once in a while, a non-superhero sequel surprises you when you least expect it, and “John Wick: Chapter 2” is an entertaining example. It’s the sequel to the surprise 2014 action […]
John Wick: Chapter 2
Fist Fight
All comedy and no laughs makes Chris a dull critic. Charlie Day is one of the flexible actors I’ve ever met, and my favorite works of his consist of “Horrible Bosses” and […]
The Comedian
