HOLLYWOOD—It’s happening people, its finally happening.

Yeah, this is the same woman who swapped the paternity for Summer, Nick’s...
The Sequel Debate: “Scream 2”
HOLLYWOOD—Last week, we looked at a sequel that was highly heralded by many cinema buffs as being one of the best ever made. This week we take a look at a sequel, whose predecessor totally reinvigorated the horror genre in the late 90s when many thought the genre was all, but dead. Any guesses? I’m referring to the 1996...

The Remake Debate: “Halloween”
HOLLYWOOD—With Halloween right around the corner, I thought we’d do something different this year than focus our discussion on some of the best or most frightening horror flicks of all time.

If there is one sequel that many people...
