Bad Boys: Ride or Die review: Martin Lawrence is a comedy genius
Now showing everywhere
In an era of big-budget action movies, a simple popcorn thriller can do wonders. These are the films where you can just turn your mind off and enjoy the action. If you’re hankering for just that sensation, Bad Boys: Ride or Die is now showing in theaters.
Now, when I say that Bad Boys: Ride or Die feels like a 90s action movie you can catch on TV, I don’t mean it negatively. The film was a ton of fun. It won’t grab awards, but it’s well worth the price of admission.
The film continues the adventures of Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence). Though it looks like life is finally going well for the duo, a new threat digs up the past and implicates the late Captain Howard (Joe Pantoliano) with a corruption charge. The situation gets hairier when the duo’s investigation involves them into the police’s suspicions.
Admittedly, it’s not the most unique plot for an action film. However, the movie’s magic is the electric chemistry between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. While Smith once again plays the cool cop, Lawrence just shines as the comedic relief. I don’t remember a scene where I wasn’t laughing at Lawrence’s shenanigans.
Lawrence’s character Burnett spends the entirety unafraid of death, despite almost dying in the first act. He also faces a plethora of dietary restrictions, so his biggest quest is to find sugar against his doctor’s wishes. Bad Boys: Ride or Die plays this off remarkably well. It doesn’t come off as an ill-spirited film that pokes fun at illness and obesity. It’s just fun.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die is now showing in cinemas across the country.

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc streams on Crunchyroll this Spring
Denji meets Reze in MAPPA’s first feature film
Denji’s next brutal chapter is heading to streaming. Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, the first-ever feature-length film from MAPPA’s hit anime series, arrives exclusively on Crunchyroll in Spring 2026.
Based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s globally acclaimed manga, the film continues the story after the anime’s first season. Amid a brutal war between devils and hunters, another battle begins in Denji’s heart when he meets a mysterious girl named Reze.
As secret enemies surface and loyalties blur, Denji revs up for what may be his deadliest fight yet — one that forces him to confront not just devils, but his own fragile humanity.
Details:
- Title: Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc
- Where: Streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll
- When: Spring 2026
From the review
In our full review, we described Reze Arc as “beautifully cruel,” calling it “a complete, well-balanced story” that blends romance, tension, and explosive action with deliberate pacing.
We praised MAPPA’s elevated big-screen presentation, the film’s restrained yet intimate early moments between Denji and Reze, and its bombastic, fluid fight sequences that never overstay their welcome.
At its heart, we noted, the movie works because it tells a self-contained love story wrapped in gore — one that even anime-only viewers can appreciate without feeling shortchanged.

Bad Bunny sounds off ahead of Apple Music Super Bowl LX
Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show press conference
Bad Bunny is stepping into Super Bowl LX with momentum and conviction. At the official Apple Music Halftime Show press conference, the Puerto Rican superstar previewed what fans can expect from his performance at Levi’s Stadium on February 8.
“I just want people to have fun. It’s gonna be a huge party. I want to bring that to the stage, a lot of my culture,” he said, adding that audiences don’t need to learn Spanish to enjoy the show. “There’s no better dance than the one that comes from the heart.”
Bad Bunny will perform at the half of the tiff between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. He confirmed that he will be with special guests.
But for the Grammy award winner for his album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, the real presence will be his family, friends, and the Latino community worldwide.
“Everyone who’s stopped me on the street, they only wish good things on me. I know the world is gonna be happy this Sunday,” he emphasized.
As for how he’s feeling heading into the performance, he admitted the whirlwind of touring, Grammys, and rehearsals has been overwhelming.
“There’s a lot of gratitude. I’m excited about this performance, but I’m more excited about the people—my family, my friends, the culture. That’s what’s making this show so special.”
Sports, he added, have always been part of his life. “I grew up watching sports, playing sports very bad, but I do love sports. It’s one of my favorite combinations—sports and music.”
Interestingly, it’s sort of a full circle moment for him at the Super Bowl. In 2020, he shared the stage with Shakira, and five years later, he is headlining his own halftime show.
“It’s not like I said, ‘I wanna come back here by myself.’ I’m never looking for my biggest achievement. My biggest pleasure is to just create, have fun, and connect with people.”
