Preview, Can “Goosebumps 2” work without Jack Black?

Preview, “Mary Queen of Scots” has Saoirse square off with Margot Robbie in history’s greatest cat fight

Netflixable? Over-achieving teens fight over the “Candy Jar”
She wants to get into Harvard, more than life itself. He’s hellbent on Yale, come hell or high water. Hemlock Prep classmates Bennett (Jacob Lattimore of “The Maze Runner” and “Detroit”) and Lona (Sami Gayle of TV’s “Blue Bloods”) long … Continue reading
Movie Review: “Sorry to Bother You”
