Ghostbusters (2016)
“It’s really easy to sit there and be a naysayer when you don’t actually do anything.” Try to imagine a world without the 1984 film and I think this 2016 […]
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016)
“Who are these girls?” Yeah, the title Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is up there with the worst of ’em. And yeah, it’s a pretty poorly crafted movie. Although, there is […]
