How many times in the past 17 years since “Bad Boys II” have you heard, “They really need to make a Bad Boys III?” You can’t help but wonder after the string of disappointments bearing Will Smith’s name (“Gemini Man,” “Bright,” “Collateral Beauty,” “Concussion,” “Focus”) if he’s simply reviv…
Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes (“American Beauty”) has a somewhat erratic filmography.
