We have three big movie releases this week: “21 Jump Street,” which is a reboot of the 1980s television series; “Casa De Mi Padre,” which is a Spanish language telenovela for the big screen starring Will Ferrell; and “Jeff Who Lives at Home,” a movie with a very self-explanatory title. Our Movie Date team is here, as usual. In addition to hosting the Movie Date podcast, Rafer Guzman is film critic for Newsday and Kristen Meinzer is producer for The Takeaway.
