Kevin says Bad Boys: Ride or Die kinda sucks!
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back as wise-cracking Miami detectives in a new BAD BOYS movie.

The story follows the buddy cop duo facing midlife crises at home and getting framed as cartel operatives.

Fans of the BAD BOYS movies should enjoy this because it has all the expected elements: from explosive action and dripping machismo to sports car product placement and drawn-out comedic moments. I suppose that’s what you get with a generation of filmmakers who grew up on a diet of Michael Bay movies.

The problem with this film is its utter lack of originality. I know buddy cop films rely on formula, but there wasn’t even an attempt to put an original spin on things. We are left with a cliché smoothie of a plot interspersed with out-of-place comedy where Martin Lawrence seems to be auditioning for a new sit-com.

Everything from the worn-out dialogue tropes to Will Smith’s Tommy Wisseau dye job makes this movie feel like a relic of the 90s that should be called BAD MIDDLE-AGED GUYS.

BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE gets two Oscar slaps out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.

Here's The Deal with Kevin Carr - ‘Mean Girls’ Review

Kevin says Mean Girls kinda rocks!
After twenty years, MEAN GIRLS is making its way back to the big screen, this time as an adaptation of the Broadway musical.

The story follows a home-schooled girl who has her first taste of public high school. She befriends the popular clique but soon learns these girls can be... well, downright mean.

The production is bright, vibrant and colorful, and the song and dance numbers are impressive for their creativity... though at times they threaten to overshadow the story.

This version seems more of a tribute to the original film than a remake or adaptation. The film is fraught with cliches and tropes that have become far too routine in films lately.

The updates pander to the social media generation, considering none of these platforms even existed in 2004. If I have to sit through another TIkTok montage in a high school comedy, I’m gonna lose it.

In the end, MEAN GIRLS is entertaining enough, and it should land well with its target audience. Though I’m doubtful if this will form a new clique. It will likely just be remembered as secondary to the original.

MEAN GIRLS gets three and a half pink sweaters out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.

Kevin says I.S.S. kinda rocks!
Patriotism and morality come to a head in the new science fiction thriller I.S.S.

The story follows a group of astronauts and cosmonauts on the International Space Station who are told to secure the facility when a war breaks out on Earth.

I’m a sucker for movies about people stuck in space, so I enjoyed the premise more than others might. The tense relationships offer a good “what would you do” scenario.

Ariana DeBose heads the cast as an astronaut who just wants to keep the peace, and she shows some range outside of her better-known musical performances.

However, the story commits to not committing when it comes to background and explanations. Yeah, that works in the limited location, but it often feels more like the screenwriter just didn’t want to play the story out.

The interpersonal tension only works only about half of the time, and the plot stoops to clichés and pulpy tropes to offer some excitement in the climax.

The movie manages to take off, but it gets a bit singed trying to get back to the ground.
I.S.S. gets three oxygen tanks out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.

Kevin says KUNG FU PANDA 4 Kinda rocks!
After a successful trilogy, DreamWorks brings another installment of the unlikely Dragon Warrior. The aptly named KUNG FU PANDA 4 follows Po as he battles a new villain, a shape-shifting sorcerer seeking the powers of the kung fu masters.

The first Kung Fu Panda was a pleasant surprise, and the sequels have been decent continuations of the one-joke story. This series manages to juggle the new characters picked up along the way, making it better than most for a fourth film.

The cast is good led by an always energetic Jack Black, with Bryan Cranston and James Hong showing a surprising amount of chemistry. However, Akwafina is a bit overexposed right now and wore on my nerves.

The animation continues to impress with slick anime-inspired action elements. And all the cuddly animal characters make it a good bet for families.

Still, the premise is a bit of a stretch this time around... and that’s saying something for a series based on a fat panda who learns kung fu. I’m not sure how many more of these the studio can milk out of the idea, but this one remains clever and fun.

KUNG FU PANDA 4 gets three dumplings out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
