THE GO-GO’S (Sundance 2020 Premiere)
Director Alison Ellwood handles the interviews, pacing, images, 80s nostalgia deftly, but she doesn’t reinvent the wheel. There’s a standard template for rock-band disintegration and the Go-Go’s story fits within a basic music-doc rulebook, but that makes it no less fun. There’s nothing I love better than a tale of rising beyond one’s wildest dreams, peaking, then taking that terrible tumble, only to learn lessons and find your footing again.

Strippers can make more money traveling to other cities to work the pole, as they’re considered “new talent” to customers tired of the same ol girls. I don’t think any trouble would have come of the trip if the girls were on their own, Unfortunately, they are accompanied by Stefani’s dim-witted boyfriend Derrick (Nicholas Braun ) and…

A buddy cop movie set in the fun, fluorescent crime attracting city of Miami, where Det. Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Det.

The Boys picked up the action in 2003 with Bad Boys II,…
