Movie Review: J Lo and Josh face-off, and face pirates in a “Shotgun Wedding”
Wow. SO dumb. Who wants to see Jennifer Lopez get married? Again? In a “Shotgun Wedding,” no less? Kind of tasteless, too, right? I mean, who thinks a tropical wedding party taken hostage at a Filipino resort is promising fodder … Continue reading
Movie Review: A Keaton and Sarandon, Gere and Macy cheating, surprising and teasing rom-com — “Maybe I Do”

Movie Preview: A fresh trailer for “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves”
Michelle Rodriguez, Chris Pine and support vs that rascal Hugh Grant villain. The tone seems right, flippant and swashbuckling. March.
