HOLLYWOOD─Wow. That is the only word I can use to describe the utter mayhem. There were plenty of new offerings for moviegoers, but it was a drama and World War II flick, “Midway” which rose to the top spot with an impressive $17.5 million gross. For a movie that was barely advertised in my eyes, it sure captured the...

HOLLYWOOD—Just when we thought the awards season was over, the 2014 MTV Movie Awards announced its nominees for the year on March 6. Leading this year’s pack are the Oscar-nominated flicks “American Hustle” and “The Wolf of Wall Street” which both tied for eight nominations including Movie of the Year. “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” garnered seven nominations, while the...

HOLLYWOOD—I have been waiting for the release of this film since it was announced in February 2017 by John Carpenter. For those sleeping under a rock, I’m referring to “Halloween.” However, let me be crystal clear this is not the 1978 version it’s the 2018 version. We could get into specifics about the title, but I’ll save that for...

HOLLYWOOD—If you were hoping to learn just who Mary Drake’s second child is, the reveal came a lot sooner than expected, as for A.D. we'll have to wait a bit longer. The summer finale for “Pretty Little Liars” didn’t reveal that bombshell, but ‘The DArkest Knight,’ yes a clever take on Christopher Nolan’s famed Batman trilogy did deliver some...

HELLO AMERICA!—Thanks to the media we are getting a fair sense of what is happening in the streets, and the cities of our nation. With congressional-type representatives such as Maxine Waters who does not hesitate to voice her opinion concerning the political climate affecting all of us, our eyes are suddenly opened to ignore realities. When we spoke from her...

HOLLYWOOD—For weeks rumors have been speculating that a fan favorite on "General Hospital” would be biting the dust. Last week, audiences learned that character was none other than Machiavellian mastermind Ric Lansing, who was fatally shot in a scuffle with Detective Nathan West (Ryan Paevy). His death left Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) heartbroken. I hate to say it, but this woman...

HOLLYWOOD—Another week, another predictable week in the “Big Brother: All-Stars” house. I’m done, I am ready for this season to be over, this steamroll is just boring me the hell out of it. I have never seen people play the game so scared. Like I think we have a month and then this horrid season will be over. At...

HOLLYWOOD—In 1994, audiences were introduced to two of the dumbest characters in movie history in Lloyd and Harry in “Dumb and Dumber.” Twenty years later, the sequel fans have been clamoring about has finally arrived in “Dumb and Dumber To.” Yes, the spelling of that title is accurate. This sequel reunites funnymen Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. Its quite polarizing...

HOLLYWOOD─I thought the season 7 premiere (even though my gut tells me we’re actually on season 8 if I’m not mistaken) was one of the best I’ve seen in a while for Tyler Perry’s “The Haves and the Have Nots.” It set the groundwork for where the rest of the season will be heading. This week’s episode, ‘Fleeting Moments’...
