Bad Boys For Life sees Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return to the Bad Boys franchise
Bad Boys For Life is a sequel to the 2003 film Bad Boys II and stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as detectives reuniting to work an old case. Dolittle is yet another film based on Hugh Lofting’s Doctor Dolittle book series. This time, Robert Downey Jr is in the titular role, but the film looks to be heading for flop status.
Bombshell follows the sexual harassment allegations against Fox News CEO Roger Ailes and stars Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie and Charlize Theron.
