Bad Boys For Life came out last week and is, despite the title obvious implication, only the third film in the series. I checked it out finally after a long delay (mainly due to wonky sleep patterns and my l … Continue reading
Also rented a (very long) documentary called In Search of the Last Action Heroes on iTunes. This is a documentary ostensibly about action movies from the 1960s to the present… but really it’s just about 80s and early 90s. Maybe … Continue reading
