HOLLYWOOD—I was slightly skeptical on how the DC Comics superhero “Aquaman” would perform at the box-office, but it appears the flick has found itself a unique audience. For the second consecutive weekend, “Aquaman” dazzled audiences to the tune of $51.6 million. Not bad because the flick didn’t see a steep drop like so many movies at the box-office after...

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—DC Comics has claimed a victory over the box-office yet again, but not to the massive numbers movie lovers have come to see from Marvel Comics. With that side note, the DC superhero Aquaman rose to the top spot of the box-office with $67.4 million. While those numbers are NOT impressive for the domestic box-office, things have been good...

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—After ruling the box-office for more than 3 weeks the animated flick “Ralph Breaks the Internet” was finally dethroned. So what lucky flick managed to accomplish the feat? It was none other than: “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” with an impressive $35 million haul. I will argue I expected the animated feature which has been receiving high praise from critics...

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...

HOLLYWOOD—Many were wowed by the first adaptation of the 2011 film “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” starring Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig. The success of that film would ultimately lead to the next chapter in the franchise, “The Girl in the Spider’s Web.” Hmm, how can I best say this, the Lisbeth Salander from the previous flick is...

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...
