Admission, the new movie starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd is being billed as a romantic comedy, which makes sense given its two main stars are currently among the hottest go-to properties for cinematic fun and yucks. What doesn’t make much sense, however ...

As if G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra never happened (and that $300 million-earner was only four years ago), the franchise (too soon?) gets a swift, rebooted kick in the ass thanks to the presence of Dwayne Johnson as Roadblock and confident direction from Step ...
