HOLLYWOOD—Talk about some enthralling entertainment. I’ve never seen a movie transition into a limited TV series. I’ve seen plenty of TV shows or series transition into the cinematic world, but not the opposite. “The Best Man” was a critical hit in 1999. Fourteen years later we got its sequel “The Best Man Holiday” which was incredibly entertaining and a...

HOLLYWOOD—It was a biopic that reigned supreme at the multiplex this week. The film “Straight Outta Compton,” which chronicled the rise and fall of the rap group N.W.A. debuted to an impressive $60.2 million during its opening weekend.

HOLLYWOOD—Just as I predicted last week, “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” remained in the top spot at the box-office, but it was a close battle. The third chapter in the popular franchise brought in $30 million to edge its domestic box-office gross just mere millions from $100 million. The animated flick did face stiff competition amongst...

HOLLYWOOD—A lot of people might be surprised to know that as a kid, I was a HUGE fan of the cartoon and action figures for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” I mean I had every single action figure; one of my faves was Donatello. I recall the first live-action films of the 1990s quite well, as they were entertaining, but...

HOLLYWOOD—Christmas is less than a week away and with that headline, many people are getting into the Christmas spirit watching some of their favorite, feel good holiday movies. For many that means turning to Hallmark or Lifetime where you will see hundreds of Christmas movies with the same plotline, same ending, and just different people in similar roles. However, for...
