HOLLYWOOD—Well, the times are changing people! For the first time in the history of the MTV Movie Awards, the 2017 ceremony will combine TV with Film. Yep, it’s a clash of two of the biggest forms of entertainment. The film “Get Out” and the Netflix hit “Stranger Things” are the top contenders picking up 6 nominations and 4 nominations...

HOLLYWOOD—There were new movies at the box-office this weekend, but they were no battle from previous flicks that have dominated business at the multiplex. For the second consecutive weekend, “The Boss Baby” maintained the top spot earning $26.3 million. The film in less than 10 days has already amounted over $90 million at the domestic box-office. Expect the flick...

HOLLYWOOD—I cannot recall the last time I laughed out loud inside the movie theater courtesy of a flick about the joys and the sorrows of an expanding family. The new animated flick, “The Boss Baby” starring Alec Baldwin as the voice of the title character is a hoot of fun people. I know I say this often, but I...

HOLLYWOOD—Well Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” had its grip on the box-office for more than 2 weeks, but a new flick has dethroned the champ at the multiplex. The Dreamworks animation flick, “The Boss Baby” found a way to edge out “Beauty and the Beast” for the top spot with an impressive $49 million plus debut. The animated flick...

HOLLYWOOD—I had mixed feelings about the teasers I saw for the movie “Life.” On one spectrum, it comes across as a movie that celebrates life and space, on the other end it comes across as something possibly horrific. Even though I had trepidations, I decided to give the film a shot and gosh and I am so happy I...

HOLLYWOOD—Considering I am a film historian and an aspiring filmmaker, I sure have missed plenty of classic films during my life. Yes, I will be the first to admit I have never seen “The Godfather.” Movies that stretch beyond the 3-hour mark are quite difficult for me to sit through, unless they are thoroughly entertaining. Recently though, I have been...

HOLLYWOOD—I called it last week that Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” would reign supreme after taking in a record-shattering $170 million plus during its opening weekend, and I was right. The live-action version of the Disney classic, held its grip at the box-office earning just over $88 million in its second weekend. So far the film has amassed $300 million...

HOLLYWOOD—Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” is a classic; a film that so many of us born in the 80s and 90s recall fondly, as a rites of passage flick from our childhood. Who would have ever expected some 25 plus years later, filmmakers would turn that classic film into a live-action version? This classic is helmed by “Dreamgirls” director Bill...

HOLLYWOOD—I recently revisited a classic in the cinematic universe that not many people are aware of. It’s a film that was quite controversial when it was released in 1960, and it preceded what many consider to be the movie that ignited the horror genre, “Psycho.” However, what people may not know is that Alfred Hitchcock’s classic did not give...

HOLLYWOOD—He’s back! Yep, Kong the ruler of all rulers is returning to the big screen, yet again, this time marking the eighth time the primate has jumped to the big screen for audiences. Unlike the 2005 version, courtesy of Peter Jackson, this latest outing is not 3 hours long, thankfully. “Kong: Skull Island” brings back a level of nostalgia that...
