Good Boys Movie Review

Given the expanded canvas of the R rated film, Good Boys takes full advantage and its jokes are rude, crude and consistently funny. And in a pleasant departure from most films of this ilk, the jokes are mostly cruelty free. This allows the laughs to flow more freely.   //   Max (Jacob Tremblay), Lucas (Keith L. Williams) and Thor (Brady Noon) are three young friends just trying to fit in. None fit in with the cool kids but they are not complete outcasts either. The class ...

Through a rather contrived circumstance, Dora and some of her classmates are kidnapped and transported to the jungle to help find her missing parents, who are on quest to find a lost city of gold.

It is ...

The Angry Birds Movie 2 – Movie Review

It starts somewhat conventionally and the first reel takes its time filling you in on the details. From that point on however, it’s an all out effort to zig when you think it will zag. Anarchy is a word that comes to mind. There is even a scene that feels like it could have easily come from the mind of Quentin Tarantino. //   At times it tends to be overly cute and the vibrant colours rival that of a lolly shop but then more often than not if turns convention on its head and ...
