Review: The Adam Project
The Adam Project falls squarely in Ryan Reynolds' wheelhouse. It's a family-friendly, PG-13 time travel action adventure film packed with snark, humor and heart. It doesn't rise to the level…
Quickie Review: YES DAY
Who can say no to a YES DAY? This movie is as simple as its premise, and that’s okay. It’s family-friendly entertainment that gives adults and kids alike pause –…

Valentine’s Day
Garry Marshall is brilliant. He made a mildly entertaining movie with an A-List cast and a name that virtually guarantees it a place in holiday rerun history. Valentine’s Day is…
