BEVERLY HILLS—It is here America, awards season is in full swing. Why? The party of the year, the Golden Globes kicked off things with some surprising results people. Coming into the night it was “Vice” leading all contenders with six nominations, but in the end it was “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Green Book” who were big winners. “Bohemain Rhapsody” walked...

HOLLYWOOD—I’ve seen a lot of films in 2018, some great, some not so great, but wow, that’s the best way I can describe the satirical dramedy “Vice.” I don’t want to fully call it a comedy (which at times it feels more like that), but the movie does a sensational job of teetering the lines of having these fun...

HOLLYWOOD—I cannot recall the last time I heard so much buzz about a movie that I couldn’t wait to see it to find myself disappointed by the end result. While that statement might have you suspecting that the movie of the hour, “Bird Box” is lackluster, you would indeed be wrong. I will make the argument the film loses...

HOLLYWOOD—It only took 54 years, but a sequel to the classic “Mary Poppins” has finally reached the big screen. There is just one major problem: Oscar-winner Julie Andrews isn’t the star America. “Mary Poppins Returns” brings the iconic character of Mary Poppins back to the big screen, but Andrews isn’t assuming the role, its actress Emily Blunt who has...

HOLLYWOOD—I have always been a fan of the “Transformers” films. It is actually bittersweet for me because it is a franchise that allowed me to bond with my nephew. I guess we both have a love for robots in disguise. Get it? The one thing that we all know about the “Transformers” films is the fact that none of...

HOLLYWOOD—Clint Eastwood, what can I say about this man. He is a phenomenal filmmaker in my eyes. I mean I loved and I mean loved “Million Dollar Baby,” it was the sleeper hit of 2004/2005, while his flick “American Sniper,” I thought was sensational. If there is one flick that holds a special torch in my heart its “Gran...

HOLLYWOOD—Well, DC Comics is at it again. I hate to say this, but DC just has not been able to compete with Marvel when it comes to big screen versions of iconic superheroes. I mean “The Dark Knight” still remains the greatest comic book flick of all-time in my opinion and up till this point I don’t see it...

HOLLYWOOD—Everyone’s favorite web slinger is back, but this isn’t the Peter Parker that so many of us have come accustomed to knowing. We have an animated version of Spider-Man in the film, “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and let me just say the visuals are absolutely jaw-dropping. I would like to say it’s something I’ve never seen before, but I’m...

HOLLYWOOD—It has been heralded by many as one of the best films of 2018, and dare I even say, I have to agree at this point. There is something about the dramedy, “Green Book” that strikes a chord with the viewer. Yes, I’ve labeled the film a dramedy as it has tones of drama with sprinkles of comedy in...

WEST HOLLYWOOD—Now the competition really begins. In the past week, we’ve had the nominees for both the Golden Globes and the Critic’s Choice Awards unveiled. On Wednesday, December 12, the nominees for the 2019 Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced and now things are getting quite interesting. Why? The members of SAG are a bigger indicator of where things...
