HOLLYWOOD—When was the last time you saw the superhero genre turned upside down on its head? Yeah, think about that one for a minute. A new genre has been dropped on audiences in the realm of superhero horror, I would almost compare it slightly to the CW series “Supernatural,” but even that flick doesn’t dive as deep as the...

HOLLYWOOD—There has been a trend lately in Hollywood: let’s do a live-action version of all of our favorite classics. Some have seen success at the box-office, some have been panned by critics and some have fallen flat compared to the original. You can now add another Disney classic to the list, “Aladdin.” Yes, that classic which starred Robin Williams...

HOLLYWOOD—There are those films made to appeal to all, and then you have those flicks that tend to have a specific audience they attempt to target. I’m not a major fan of such films because I believe true cinema can appeal to anyone, it just depends on how the script and characters are written and depicted rather that success...

HOLLYWOOD—Seth Rogen is a guy that many would deem a comedy genius. He has delivered some hilarious comedies in recent years. I mean I was baffled, but in the best possible way with the raunchy 2007 hit “Superbad.” He followed that success with the iconic “Neighbors” and the flick that every kid wanted to see, but were banned from...

HOLLYWOOD—I honestly think all the flicks coming out next weekend, should have come out this past weekend. Why? It seems the live-action version of “Aladdin” wasn’t the big draw that filmmakers suspected, even with a big name like Will Smith portraying the iconic character known as Genie. For such a Disney classic with name recognition, I expected maybe a...

HOLLYWOOD—He’s back, looks like Keanu Reeves has crafted himself a character that is just as memorable if not more fun than the stone-faced Neo from “The Matrix” franchise. I’m referring to John Wick, a former hitman who just wanted to be left alone after his wife died. However, some goons decided to go after his beloved dog Daisy, which...

HOLLYWOOD—It seems Hollywood has become way too comfortable with remakes. Just become a film was made 50 plus years ago, does not warrant a remake let alone scream that we need one. It looks like the laughter was misplaced for the Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson comedy “The Hustle,” a remake of the 1988 flick “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” which...

HOLLYWOOD—I couldn’t help, but constantly compare the animated flick “UglyDolls” to the movie “Trolls.” It was that flick that had that catchy-tune by Justin Timberlake “Can’t Stop the Feeling.” However, as the audience gets deeper into the narrative these two films are so different. I thought “Trolls” was full of frenetic energy and music that placed you in a...

HOLLYWOOD—After having a tight grip on the box-office since its release on April 26, “Avengers: Endgame” has been dethroned from the top spot at the box-office by a worthy opponent no less. The third installment in the Keanu Reeves franchise “John Wick Chapter 3 – Parabellum” rose to the top spot with an impressive $57.2 million. Not bad as...

HOLLYWOOD—As a newbie to the world of cinema, you couldn’t get me to watch a movie in black in white or what many people deemed ‘Old Hollywood.’ For me, I thought those movies were out of touch with the modern world and the technology was so outdated it would take me longer than my interest to get acclimated to...
