Well, when Guy Ritchie is in the director’s chair, it is absolutely the case. Ritchie’s cast includes an attractive assemblage of actors who are put through the paces of a plot that veers through a plethora of English locales with style, humor and, of course, plenty of gunplay. The players include Mickey (Matthew McConaughey), who used the smarts that sent him to Oxford to develop one of the biggest and most sophisticated marijuana empires ever assembled. […]

In 1995, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence became Bad Boys. The film brought together two heavyweights of the television ranks. People were laughing at Smith in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Lawrence in Martin. They brought huge audiences from the small screen to theaters to see the dream pairing. The film prompted a sequel, 2003’s Bad Boys II, and 17 years later we get a third film in the franchise, Bad Boys for Life. Though time has passed, Mike Lowrey (Smith) is still the ladies’ man with the fast car and large, um, ego. He still partners with Marcus […]

By Stephen Whitty The newest film version of Little Women takes a few liberties with the book. But it is absolutely loyal to its author. Over the last 150 years — and more than half a dozen other film adaptations — Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 novel has become a beloved young-adult classic, seen as an Americanized “Dickens Lite” of Victorian Christmases and plucky protagonists. Yet the real Alcott, like Dickens, was made of sterner stuff. And Greta Gerwig’s new film adaptation addresses that, by reemphasizing Alcott’s real passions, and adult concerns. Of course, they were always there to begin with, […]
