HOLLYWOOD—Talk about drama because that is what the audience got with the latest episode of “Queen Sugar.” This week’s episode, ‘With a Kind Of,’ opened with Nova dreaming about her parents.

War Explodes On “The Young And The Restless!”
HOLLYWOOD—I will admit I was getting a bit bored with “The Young and the Restless” because it felt like we were constantly recycling the same storyline of the Newman family going at war. However, when you throw in Billy Abbott it turns what could be a lackluster narrative into something explosive. When we last chatted, Billy was working with...

“The Hate U Give” Is Powerful, Riveting
HOLLYWOOD—I would be lying if I told you I did not have some apprehension about seeing the movie “The Hate U Give.” I presumed that it would be that film that I’ve already seen a hundred times over dealing with the crisis of African-Americans (particularly men) being fatally shot by white police officers.
