THE FOUNDER Director: John Lee Hancock Starring: Michael Keaton, Nick Offerman, John Carroll Lynch, Laura Dern, B.J. Novak, Linda Cardellini, Patrick Wilson I couldn’t tell you the last time I stepped into a McDonald’s restaurant. It’s probably been a good two months since I even went through the drive-thru line and that was only because we were traveling. What I didn’t know is that there is a plaque in every restaurant dedicated to Ray Kroc. My husband had to fill me in on this detail. Who is Ray Kroc?

22 JUMP STREET Directors: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller Starring: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Ice Cube, Wyatt Russell, Jimmy Tatro, Amber Stevens, Nick Offerman, Peter Stromare Most movies adapted from television shows rarely work, especially when a new cast and new characters are involved.
