HOLLYWOOD—Can you believe it, 46 seasons, that is where we currently are on the latest season of the reality competition “Survivor.” I will admit the past few seasons have not been the most entertaining for me, so I’m hoping 46 delivers some fun gameplay because seeing contestants steam roll to the end is never exciting TV. Hate to say it,...

SANTA MONICA—Saturday was the Screen Actors Guild Awards and Sunday was the Film Independent Spirit Awards. The awards were handed out in Santa Monica with “Saturday Night Live” alum Aidy Bryant serving as the host to the ceremony paying tribute to independent movies in the cinematic universe. Hate to say it, but they tend to be some of the...

HOLLYWOOD—A massive precursor to what could unfold come Oscar Sunday on March 10 was previewed on Saturday, February 24 as the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards were handed out. The SAG Awards are pretty indicative of where things could be headed in terms of the Academy Awards, but it is important to note, SAG is not always accurate. We have...

HOLLYWOOD—Well, that happened a lot sooner than later on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” I knew Zende was attracted to Luna and was making a play for her, but jeez, that happened much faster after Luna indulged in a few of Poppy’s ‘special mints.’ Yeah, those mints caused Luna to get high and she slept with Zende as a...

HOLLYWOOD—The war between Christine ‘Cricket’ and Phyllis continues on “The Young and the Restless.” I must admit I do like this rivalry because these ladies have long history and in the middle of it all is Danny. Danny is conflicted about his emotions and I cannot understand it. Danny and Cricket are like the daytime romance of “Y&R” that...

HOLLYWOOD—Who is going to take the Oscar for Best Actor? This is a race that I feel is not as clear cut as people suspect, I think it is a two-person race with a few contenders that should be delivering more chatter. Our nominees include Paul Giamatti “The Holdovers,” Bradley Cooper “Maestro,” Colman Domingo “Rustin,” Cillian Murphy “Oppenheimer” and...

HOLLYWOOD—I have been hearing about the performances in this movie for quite some time now, so I was pleasantly pleased with what I witnessed upon watching the movie, “Maestro.” For those not in the know, the film tells the story of legendary composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein.  I wanted to do a bit of a history on Bernstein because...

HOLLYWOOD—Is Victoria Franklin dead? That is the mystery fans were left with on last week’s episode of “The Oval.” This week’s episode, ‘Adjust and Adapt’ picked up with that ‘shocking’ moment as Kareem and Antonio panicked, just as Donald entered the fray. Hunter got a treat of watching the video and seeing Victoria out cold on the floor. Aaron was...

HOLLYWOOD—I am going to say this right away, “Argylle” entertained me to a degree. Yes, there are plenty of people bashing the flick and it deserves some of the slack that it has received. It is a spy-adventure that has too much going on and a bit of the fat needed to be trimmed to turn it into an...

HOLLYWOOD—I don’t understand the critical love for the whacky dramedy/sci-fi flick “Poor Things.” I know so many people in the cinematic universe that are gushing over this movie. This film is so quirky and odd that either you love it or hate it, and I didn’t love this flick, and it is because it is boring. There is no...
