HOLLYWOOD—I didn’t hear about this movie until literally a week ago, but it’s the latest horror flick from writer, producer and director, Kevin Williamson. Williamson is the brains behind the iconic franchise, “Scream” and a few other notable films in the franchise. His latest film, “Sick” tackles something I have been eager to see done: a horror film chronicling...

HOLLYWOOD—I am not the biggest fan of video games being adapted for the big screen. A lot of the time the filmmakers just don’t mix the right formula. I mean if you look at the history of many video games turned into movies they have bombed, “Tomb Raider,” “Street Fighter,” “Max Payne,” “Silent Hill,” the 1995 “Mortal Kombat” are...

HOLLYWOOD—This week, we’re going to talk about an all-time classic. I wanted to take another examination of a flick/remake that is slightly controversial. Look, I think “John Carpenter’s Halloween” is iconic. The 1978 horror flick is pure horror at its best. Suspense that is palpable, jump scares that are great and unexpected, a villain that haunts to an unbelievable...

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—Well we are less than a week away from the culmination of awards season: the 90th Annual Academy Awards. We talked about some of the big races: Best Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Actress, Actor and now it’s time to discuss both Best Director and Best Picture. Here are the ONLY two categories where the winner is not set in...

HOLLYWOOD—I’ll let you in on a little secret: I liked “Deadpool,” but I did not love the movie the same way as so many others did. I think it was a result of the flick being so hyped up as something never seen before (it was) but my expectations for the flick fell short. After breaking box-office records, and...

HOLLYWOOD—Spike Lee, I was first introduced to this cinematic auteur as an undergraduate studying film. One of the first films I ever watched of his was the film “Do the Right Thing.” It was a stirring piece of cinema that held a level of importance during the late 80s that I wasn’t quite aware of at the time. Since...

HOLLYWOOD—The Dr. Seuss classic, “The Grinch” is getting the opportunity at another stab on the big screen, this time another animated version. You might be asking yourself why I noted “another” time in the previous sentence. It seems this classic is being reinterpreted, reimagined or whatever you want to call it every so many years. The last time we saw...

HOLLYWOOD—I did not suspect the new arrivals in theaters, “The Kid Who Would Become King” or “Serenity” to dethrone last week’s box-office champion “Glass” and I was not wrong. The supernatural thriller remained at the top spot at the box-office with $19 million. After 2 weeks in theaters, the final chapter in a trilogy has earned over $73 million...

HOLLYWOOD—Well another Disney classic has received a live-version adaptation. I will be honest I don’t understand the reasoning behind it because I’ve seen more mishaps than actual successes. The last being “Beauty and the Beast” which was entertaining, but did not come close to the 1991 original that received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. This time it’s...
