Dead on Arrival ‘Suicide Squad’: Another DC Comics Dud

Film Reviews Reviews By James Dawson|August 3, 2016 |0

By JAMES DAWSON Front Row Features Film Critic It’s not just bad. It’s “Howard the Duck” bad, an embarrassingly overbaked abomination that’s what the enjoyably irreverent farce “Deadpool” may have been like if that movie had done absolutely everything wrong.

Film Reviews Reviews By Heather Turk|July 29, 2016 |0
