Staying within the boundaries of one such political bubble will ultimately cause harm to an individual and the world they live in. It may not be harm that is directly seen or felt, but it is unconscious, narrow,...

Dylan Frazier frazierd@findlay.edu @dylanfrazier44 In the sequel that no one asked for, Bad Boys for Life, starring once again Will Smith and Martin Lawrence proves that over the top action and quick quips help save any flaws with the story.

I shouldn’t have worried about this movie because it’s one of the best movies, not just in...
