Take my rating of the fourth Beverly Hills Cop based on its backstory. I was a little too young for the original Beverly Hills Cop but all the older kids talked about it endlessly. I never saw it nor its … Continue reading
Reading my review of Bad Boys for Life, I was surprised at how nearly everything I said applied to this new movie too. And yet I gave that film 3 stars because there was apparently something in it that worked … Continue reading
