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. Yeah, the event has been shrouded in controversy for a few years after news about its diversity became public. Rather it was ‘canceled’ or celebs boycotted, I hate to say...

HOLLYWOOD—When I heard a new “Mean Girls” remake or reboot was coming to the screen I was excited, the 2004 flick written by Tina Fey and starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams was iconic. It was a movie that captured high school and cliques in a way that has never been seen before and became an instant cult classic....

HOLLYWOOD—We have seen a bevy of films in recent years where adults have gone to the extreme in the world of comedy to deliver laughs to the audience. We’ve had “Bridesmaids,” “Neighbors,” “Girls Trip,” “Sisters” and now you can add the comedy “Blockers” to the list. Well, the title “Blockers” is not the real title for the film, and...

HOLLYWOOD—Well, another comic book flick has rose to the top spot at the box-office yet again this summer. “Ant-Man and the Wasp” dazzled moviegoers earning $76 million over the weekend. It is a respectable debut considering its predecessor earned $57 million during its debut in 2015, but with so many flicks crossing $100 million during its opening weekend, I...

HOLLYWOOD—The month of October is looking to be an interesting one at the multiplex. Why? Well, another comic book character made an epic splash with moviegoers. The standalone flick, “Venom” debuted at the top spot with an impressive $80 million during its opening weekend.

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...

HOLLYWOOD—Oscar Sunday is less than a week away America, and we predicted the acting categories last week and now it’s time to turn our attention to the races for Best Director and Best Picture. I’ll be honest Best Director might be one of the easiest races to predict this season. While all five nominees, Alfonso Cuaron “Roma,” Spike Lee...

HOLLYWOOD—For the second consecutive weekend, “Avengers: Endgame” dominated the box-office in an impressive way. It earned a little over $145 million, which is a little over a 50 percent drop from the previous weekend. On a domestic scale the film has earned $620 million. On a global scale, “Endgame” has amounted $2.2 billion, and has now become the largest...

HOLLYWOOD—Trying to reimagine a Disney classic is a surmountable feat. I mean “The Lion King,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Dumbo” and “The Jungle Book” are just some flicks that are trying to outdo the animated classic. I’ll be honest, I really only enjoyed “Beauty and the Beast” out of the plethora of flicks at this point. Why? There was...

HOLLYWOOD—I’m a horror buff, and I have been like that since I was a kid. A four-year-old to be exact; I know it sounds crazy, but I had some fascination with horror movies at an early age. You’re NOT supposed to watch and because of that it makes you want to watch that much more. Growing up in the...
