WifeLike is a flick that starts out like a teenager’s sex fantasy complete with all the boobs and butts you could leer at. And then it struggles to become something more, treading in overly familiar ground, reminding me of After … Continue reading
Lego Star Wars Summer Vacation barely hangs together as a short bit of fuzzy-headed comedy. I was marginally amused at times but most of the jokes were predictable and done before. The flick is marginally about the cast of the … Continue reading
