Marry, Boff or Kill at the Movies, April 8 Weekend Edition
“Marry, Boff or Kill at the Movies” is where I talk about three movies, preferably wide release, and give them either a rating of “Marry,” when it’s really good, “Boff,” if the movie’s good and bad qualities cancel each other out and “Kill,” which is self explanatory. On to this week’s releases:
