Original bad boys Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are back in the long awaited third installment of the dormant franchise that plays right into the first two movies’ strengths. Lots of bad people are getting shot, shit is being blown up and there is plenty of Smith and Lawrence’s banter and mildly amusing jokes to go round. And it all looks stylish and sleek thanks to the visual flair of Belgian duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah who have taken over directing duties from Michael Bay (who makes a cameo as an emcee at a wedding).

Following the disappearance of his teenage daughter five years ago, Rayburn Swanson (played by Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) gave up hunting and started a wildlife sanctuary named after his daughter. He stuck with his drinking problem though and mostly keeps to himself.

Just when you thought this year couldn’t possibly get any worse, you find yourself watching ‘Black Christmas’.

Let’s be honest. The 1974 original already wasn’t that great to start with. The story - which revolved around a couple of sorority girls receiving threatening calls and then getting picked off one by one by a mysterious masked killer - is pretty cliché by today’s standards. Not so much back in 1974 when this was one of the first slasher movies ever. Which is kind of the main reason people still remember it. Well, that and because it inspired John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween’.
