...please, spare us the equal-opportunity keening about Charlie's Angels and Tomb Raiders. The first series is a kung-fu pajama party; the giga-giggling Angels are girls, not adult women.

In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, mankind's savior will try to keep his Toyota Tundra out of the clutches of a 160-ton crane. The summer keeps on truckin' with Bad Boys II (Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in a Ferrari and a Hummer) and the freewheelers...
