HOLLYWOOD—It was the movie that left people stunned on social media when it debuted on Syfy back in 2013. Yes, I’m talking about “Sharknado.” It was a movie so BAD that it was so good, and I will admit I could NOT take my eyes away from the small screen while watching a group of people battle, sharks that...

HOLLYWOOD—When I first saw the trailer to the holiday-themed movie “Krampus,” I knew I had heard of that name before in the past. For those not in the know, Krampus is based on Alpine folklore of a creature that punishes kids who have behaved badly during the Christmas season. I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not a fan of...

HOLLYWOOD—There is something about horror legends from the 80s that just won’t die. Michael Myers is slated to return to the big screen in the eleventh installment in the “Halloween” franchise, “Halloween Returns.” The sequel was announced by Dimension Films and Trancas International Films. Stepping behind the camera for the latest scare fest is Marcus Dunstan. Dunstan holds writing credits...

HOLLYWOOD—Portraying dual roles in a movie is no easy feat for an actor or actress in Hollywood. It can be done, but it requires the smallest nuances of characteristics to convey to the viewer that two independent characters exist even though doubles are being seen on the screen. Tom Hardy takes on that role to portray real-life gangsters Ronald...

HOLLYWOOD—For those who grew up during the '80s, you are well aware it’s a time frame unlike any other. The latest flick to attempt to recapture that magic is the fantasy-action adventure “Pixels.” Yes, the title for the flick is somewhat interesting, but it is indeed about pixels and pixilation to say the least. The film revolves around a...

HOLLYWOOD—I recall seeing the trailer for the movie “Morgan” in theaters and it immediately got my attention, however, that anticipation fails to deliver on SO MANY fronts. What makes this movie so alluring is NOT knowing precisely what or who Morgan is, but when you have TV spots and movie trailers dispelling that allure, the thought of being surprised...

HOLLYWOOD—Back in 2002, it was the indie flick that exploded in movie theaters. “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” generated so much word-of-mouth buzz the comedy starring Nia Vardalos earned over $368 million at the global box-office. One would have expected a sequel right away, but not so fast people. Vardalos who wrote the first screenplay noted a sequel would...

HOLLYWOOD—A $1 million reward has been offered for the iconic missing pair of ruby slippers worn by Dorothy in the “Wizard of Oz.” The shoes have been missing for years. John Kelsch, director of the museum, revealed that an anonymous donor offered the reward with the intention of locating the ruby slippers. The donor lives in Arizona and happens to...

HOLLYWOOD—I was a huge fan of the “The Maze Runner” when it exploded onto the screen in 2014. The movie came out of nowhere and was absolutely thrilling and fun to watch. Less than a year later, we have its sequel “The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials.” Unfortunately, that feverish intensity, unique narrative and character growth that the first...

HOLLYWOOD—Can you believe that it has been more than 35 years since the last feature-length “Peanuts” movie? Well those avid fans that have been patiently waiting, the wait is now over. “The Peanuts Movie” reunites all of those favorites including Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Peppermint Patty, Linus, Lucy van Pelt and a host of others in a flick that takes...
