And, since it IS January, it’s time for the latest mid-tier Liam Neeson action flick, The Commuter. This is one of those flicks where, you know, he plays a guy with a particular set of skills in some rather humdrum … Continue reading
Checked out the mis-titled and mis-marketed movie Father Figures. This is the comedy about two brothers (Ed Helms and Owen Wilson) who find out their mother wasn’t honest with them about who their father was. Since it was the 70s, … Continue reading
