The 24th annual Critics’ Choice Awards were handed out on Sunday, January 13. The ceremony was hosted by actor Taye Diggs, and the more that I think about it, it has become a major realization:...

“Shazam!” Is Plenty Of Fun

HOLLYWOOD—Another month, another superhero flick has hit the big screen. This time it’s a character that fans of the comic book universe may or may not fully know about. However, DC seems to be earning its footing when doing battle against Marvel when it comes to superheroes. Yes, there have been misses and big ones, but there have been...

“Ma” Is Quite Unnerving, Frenetic Fun

HOLLYWOOD—It is Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer in a role unlike anything we’ve seen her in before. I had to take a moment to come to the realization that this woman has appeared in a lot of movies, but has never had a starring role until now. Spencer shines as a twisted woman, who might appear sane, but if you dig...

“Angel Has Fallen” Wins Box-Office Again

HOLLYWOOD—I’ve always said the end of summer is the worst time for the box-office and this weekend proved it yet again. Yes, summer might be coming to an end and one would LIKE to think this would make people want to go to the theaters, but there is just too much to do to catch a movie. Last week’s...

“1917” Victorious At Box-Office

HOLLYWOOD─It is official, “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” has been dethroned from the top spot at the box-office. So many might want to know, what flick dethroned the titan? It was the war flick “1917” which seemed to have a huge boost as a result of its recent Golden Globes victory. The movie impressed movie lovers and in...

“Acrimony” Offers Nothing New

HOLLYWOOD—Tyler Perry, the man behind the hit character Madea is a triple-threat when it comes to writing, directing and producing. He has tapped into acting a bit, but I think he is far more successful behind the camera. While known for comedy, Perry has found a way to broaden his horizons. I loved “Why did I Get Married,” and...

“Hereditary” Is Utterly Disturbing!

HOLLYWOOD—I love a good scary flick, I like a movie that takes the audience on such a rollercoaster ride you have absolutely NO IDEA and I mean NO IDEA where things are headed. Well, if you’re in for a thrill-a-minute the film “Hereditary” delivers on multiple fronts. Let me be clear, I would not call “Hereditary” a full-blown horror...

“Night School” Wins Box-Office

HOLLYWOOD—Well, it looked like audiences’ were interested in being delivered laughs more than anything else at the box-office this past weekend. Why do I say that? The Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart comedy “Night School” took the top spot at the box-office earning an impressive $28 million during its debut weekend. So the audiences were out in full-force, but I...

The flick is certain to hit...
