HOLLYWOOD—Tyler Perry, the man who burst onto the big screen in 2005 with the adaptation of his play, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” knows how to deliver comedy. As of recent though, Perry hasn’t had the best success at the box-office as he has ventured into unexpected territory. His flick “Acrimony” failed to ignite a spark with audiences,...

HOLLYWOOD—Well, another comic book flick has rose to the top spot at the box-office yet again this summer. “Ant-Man and the Wasp” dazzled moviegoers earning $76 million over the weekend. It is a respectable debut considering its predecessor earned $57 million during its debut in 2015, but with so many flicks crossing $100 million during its opening weekend, I...

HOLLYWOOD—Continuing our tradition to discuss those horror flicks that could be slightly underrated, this week’s discussion falls on a movie that is not underrated, but a bit overrated in my opinion. It is the 1973 classic “The Exorcist.” Some people have called the possession flick the scariest horror movie of all-time. Hmm, I think that might be a long...

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—The last time I recall watching a heist flick that entertained me thoroughly and left me in a tizzy was the 2003 flick “The Italian Job.” The movie was riddled with great performances, a fun narrative and twists galore that continued to leave the audience guessing. You can now add another flick to that list, Steve McQueen’s “Widows.” Yes,...

HOLLYWOOD—Talk about some enthralling entertainment. I’ve never seen a movie transition into a limited TV series. I’ve seen plenty of TV shows or series transition into the cinematic world, but not the opposite. “The Best Man” was a critical hit in 1999. Fourteen years later we got its sequel “The Best Man Holiday” which was incredibly entertaining and a...

HOLLYWOOD—On Friday, April 28, the biopic about the life of the two-time Heavyweight boxing champion, George Foreman, "Big George Forman" will be released nationwide. "Space Jam: A New Legacy" actor Kris Davies plays George Foreman. Forest Whitaker stars as boxing trainer Charles "DOC" Broadus. Whitaker previously played Tick Wills the trainer of Billy Hope (Jake Gyllenhaal) in the 2015 fictional...

HOLLYWOOD—I’ll just say it already: summer is over, and I think it may have been one of the worst at the box-office for summer movies that I can recall in years. With that said, it’s time to usher in not only my favorite season of the year, but some of the best flicks of the year as we slowly...

HOLLYWOOD—The awards season has officially kicked off, the first of 2016 being the People Choice Awards which were held on Wednesday, January 6. This is the one ceremony that allows the public to vote on the winners, so things are not likely to align with those esteemed groups like the Hollywood Foreign Press, Recording Academy and the Academy of...

HOLLYWOOD—I was really looking forward to catching the reboot, reincarnation, rebirth (or whatever you want to call it) of the horror classic, “The Mummy” starring Tom Cruise. I mean just looking at that teaser trailer I was hoping the flick would deliver. That is indeed the problem with teasers everyone; they deliver a level of anticipation that never lives...
