January is usually a month where studios dump their worst movies of the year. It makes a ton of sense, especially since we’ve already been inundated with critically acclaimed movies which, in turn, braces us for another round of awards season.
The trailer to Dirty Grandpa, which opens January 22, gives me some hope that this movie will actually be funny, and seeing if Robert De Niro and Zac Efron will work as a comedic duo actually has my interests peaked.
Last week, Liam O’Connor had convinced Alex Parrish that her best course of action to catch the second bomber was to admit to the crime, expecting the perpetrator to slip up with the idea that she was in custody.
