HOLLYWOOD—As many TV fans prepare for absolute nostalgia with the return of the FOX classic, “90210” re-coined “BH90210” it got me thinking about the state of reboots in Hollywood. I mean it seemed to start with “Fuller House” and since we’ve had a ton of TV classics return including “Murphy Brown,” “Charmed,” “Will & Grace,” the list goes on...

HOLLYWOOD—It was an interesting weekend at the box-office, as the previous weekend’s champ, “The Lion King” took on the spin-off “Hobbs & Shaw.” With one dominating the box-office for the past two weeks, the other hoping to capitalize on the success of the “Fast & Furious” franchise. In the end, it was “Hobbs & Shaw” which dazzled audiences with...

HOLLYWOOD—Quentin Tarantino is one of those directors who takes his time perfecting his craft. He has delivered some iconic flicks during his illustrious career. I mean you have “Reservoir Dogs” to “Pulp Fiction” to “Django Unchained” to “The Hateful Eight.” If you want me to be honest I LOVED “Kill Bill Vol. 2,” but hated and I mean hated...

HOLLYWOOD—“Toy Story,” it is perhaps heralded by many as one of the greatest animated flicks of all-time. I mean this franchise has the ability to leave grown adults crying out their tears. I honestly thought after “Toy Story 3” the franchise was done. It ended on such a climatic note with Woody, Buzz and the gang realizing that Andy...

HOLLYWOOD—It is hard to fathom that the original “Men in Black” hit theaters back in 1997. That sci-fi adventure starred Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as agents investigating alien lifeform on the planet Earth. The first flick was a classic, the sequel was quite exceptional and the third installment, while not bad wasn’t as good as audiences wanted...

HOLLYWOOD—Trying to reimagine a Disney classic is a surmountable feat. I mean “The Lion King,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Dumbo” and “The Jungle Book” are just some flicks that are trying to outdo the animated classic. I’ll be honest, I really only enjoyed “Beauty and the Beast” out of the plethora of flicks at this point. Why? There was...

HOLLYWOOD—Look, I have always been a fan of the “Spider-Man” movies. For me they return me to my youth and the character of Peter Parker I think resonates with so many Americans. Now, let’s be clear I was not a fan of the fact that the franchise has now had 3 actors portray the iconic character, Tobey Maguire, Andrew...

HOLLYWOOD—At last a movie finally shook the box-office with summer coming to an end. The live-action version of the Disney classic “The Lion King” dominated the box-office with an impressive $185 million haul. Yes, that’s huge considering many of the critics and a lot of people who I spoke to adored the flick visually, but on a narrative pinpoint,...

HOLLYWOOD—For the second consecutive weekend, “Spider-Man: Far From Home” was victorious at the box-office taking in $45.3 million at the box-office. The sequel has amounted a domestic tally off $275 million since its release. “Toy Story 4” landed in second place with a gross of $20.7 million. On an international scale, “Toy Story 4” has grossed over $771 million. Debuting...

HOLLYWOOD—You might think I’m joking, but what I’m about to tell you is NO JOKE! Growing up I had a toy known as My Buddy. It looked just like Chucky when the original “Child’s Play” came out in 1988. Fast-forward to nearly 30 years later and we have a remake to that iconic classic, this time with Mark Hamill...
