Activists Will March to Retire Lolita, Miami Seaquarium’s Orca

Sure, The Boss Baby Looks Like Your Average Kids’ Flick – but It’s Actually Horrific
The Boss Baby might look, at first, like any other major studio animation release. Directed by DreamWorks vet Tom McGrath (Madagascar, Megamind), the movie hits all the expected notes: the enduring importance of family, the persistence of untrustworthy/clueless adults, and the inherent hilarity of shoehorning David Mamet dialogue into a…

Jimmy Carr Invites Miami Comedy Fans to Heckle Him Onstage
British standup comedian Jimmy Carr is, by his own admission, “rude, crude, and offensive.” His sense of humor certainly isn’t for everyone. However, for those who enjoy properly dirty jokes, Carr is a virtuoso. He combines the razor-sharp barbs of a roastmaster, the concise one-liner genius of Mitch Hedburg, and the filthy vocabulary of Louis C.K. with a wit as quick as that kid in elementary school who was always ready with a devastating “yo’ mama” joke.
Seriously, The Zookeeper’s Wife Moves Despite its Glossiness
Niki Caro has the rare ability to elevate what could be emotionally manipulative schlock to earnest art.

CHIPS Asks You to Pay to Watch its Stars Prove How Manly They Are
CHIPS is the latest kitschy-yet-beloved cop show to get remodeled on the big screen as a bromantic buddy comedy.

Playboy‘s Midnight Roller Disco Revives the ’70s at Super Wheels
Anyone born in the late ’70s could probably roller-skate before they could walk, and hum the Village People’s “YMCA” before they could spell the alphabet. So obsessed was America with roller skating and disco that when the two combined, the pop-culture phenomenon of roller disco exploded like Aquanet in the ’80s.
