The latest movie reviews and articles by Steve Bloom
Ice Cube (at right) started out as a radical rapper in N.W.A., then created the stony Friday movie series. He was great in Three Kings, but then came the Barbershop series and more recently the lame family comedies, Are We There Yet? and Are We Done Yet?, which opened last Wednesday. Check out my review posted at the L magazine website.
