BEVERLY HILLS—Awards season is upon us, and it kicked off on Sunday, January 7, as the 81st Golden Globes were held at the famed Beverly Hilton Hotel. “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” led the pack, but the GG has been known to be unpredictable and 2024 was not any different. The ceremony was hosted by comedian Joy Koy, where questions lingered...

HOLLYWOOD—I cannot recall the last time I witnessed a movie that seemed to pinpoint what I was thinking in my head, and it actually happening as if it could actually occur. It felt like the Netflix movie “Leave the World Behind” took my greatest fears and put them into a movie that makes you question, I know it might...

HOLLYWOOD—Two weeks in a row, I have witnessed some fascinating cinema. First, “Saltburn” took me by surprise, and now “The Holdovers,” a flick I had been hearing some buzz about, was an exceptional piece of cinema with some terrific performances. For starters, Paul Giamatti, the guy is a talent on the big screen and the small screen, and delivers...

HOLLYWOOD—I have seen very few films in the cinematic universe that leave me on the fence, however, “May December” is one that I cannot put my finger on fully. Is it a drama, a dramedy, a dark comedy, a thriller, I could not answer that question for you. What the movie does have going for it is phenomenal performances....

HOLLYWOOD—Well, the Golden Globe Awards are back, at least the nominees. The 2024 contenders were revealed on Monday, December 11 by actor Wilmer Valderama and comedian Cedric the Entertainer.

HOLLYWOOD—The world of Hollywood was rocked a bit on Tuesday when news broke that “Scream” (2022) and “Scream VI” star Melissa Barrera was fired from the upcoming "Scream VII" by Spyglass Media after social media posts she made about the war between Palestine and Israel. I’m not even getting into this argument about what you can and cannot say...

HOLLYWOOD—I have found myself pleasantly surprised with each entry into the “Trolls” franchise, and that hasn't changed with the latest flick, "Trolls Band Together." If the name is not ringing a bell, perhaps the song “Can’t Stop the Feeling” by Justin Timberlake rings a bell, because that was such a catchy tune. FYI, Timberlake is back to voice Branch...

HOLLYWOOD—I cannot believe I’m saying this, but I was quite entertained while watching the latest Marvel entry, “The Marvels.” Now is it the best of the comic book universe, no, nowhere close, but considering I paid for a movie ticket, I was not disappointed with the purchase that I made America. I know plenty of you might be asking if...

HOLLYWOOD—When I saw the flick “Five Nights At Freddy’s” being advertised on the streaming service Peacock, I didn’t think much of it. The movie didn’t really have an appeal that grabbed my attention. I did hear about the box office bonanza it had during its first weekend in theaters, which was damn impressive. I mean a $75 to $80...
