I kind of liked the original Vacation Friends mainly due to John Cena’s exuberant weirdo of a character. It wasn’t a movie I expected a sequel to and I was pretty sure it wasn’t needed when I heard about it. … Continue reading
Well, extra credit to Happy Madison (and Netflix) for producing a thoughtful YA teen comedy/drama that’s not too crass and not too wholesome. Call it realistic, call it believable, call it not as good as other movies of its ilk. … Continue reading
I had no expectations for The Passenger going in… I thought the title was generic and Blumhouse has both a good track record and a bad one. But they are the reason I gave it a shot. The film is … Continue reading
