HOLLYWOOD—I predicted last week that the supernatural thriller, “A Quiet Place” would reclaim its throne at the box-office after taking a temporary seat from the Dwayne Johnson action-flick “Rampage.” “A Quiet Place” returned to the top spot earning $22 million during its third weekend in theaters. To date the flick has earned over $130 million at the domestic box-office. Dropping...

HOLLYWOOD—Truth or Dare it’s a game many of us probably played in our early teens and early 20s, so when I heard the production company that gave us the incredibly smart “Get Out” and the twisted “Happy Death Day” was turning this popular game into a horror flick I was somewhat intrigued. However, “Truth or Dare” is not what...

HOLLYWOOD—Ok, I have seen a ton of silly films in my life-time and my one rule when I enter the movie theater is to be entertained. I have to point this out because it’s no secret: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has appeared in some movies that defy reality. As much as I was entertained by the disaster flick “San...

HOLLYWOOD—Last week many were stunned with the debut of the horror flick, “A Quiet Place” to the tune of $50 million. This week saw two new releases: “Rampage” starring The Rock and “Truth or Dare” starring “Pretty Little Liars” alum Lucy Hale. The question is rather those films would be able to dethrone our box-office champion? The answer to...

HOLLYWOOD—We have seen a bevy of films in recent years where adults have gone to the extreme in the world of comedy to deliver laughs to the audience. We’ve had “Bridesmaids,” “Neighbors,” “Girls Trip,” “Sisters” and now you can add the comedy “Blockers” to the list. Well, the title “Blockers” is not the real title for the film, and...

HOLLYWOOD—The words I want to say about “A Quiet Place” just simply will not do it justice. This by far is NOT only the best flick I’ve seen so far in 2018, it is easily the best film I’ve watched in years. This is not speaking solely from the perspective of a horror buff, but someone who has been...

HOLLYWOOD—I teased that this movie might open up to large numbers at the box-office and I was right. The horror-flick, “A Quiet Place” starring Emily Blunt and John Krasinki blew away expectations opening to an impressive $50 million during its debut weekend. I can guarantee you right now; strong word-of-mouth buzz for this flick will keep it in the...

HOLLYWOOD—Tyler Perry, the man behind the hit character Madea is a triple-threat when it comes to writing, directing and producing. He has tapped into acting a bit, but I think he is far more successful behind the camera. While known for comedy, Perry has found a way to broaden his horizons. I loved “Why did I Get Married,” and...

HOLLYWOOD—It is no easy feat to craft a spy-thriller that finds the right tone to leave the audience intrigued, involved and attempting to piece the puzzle together before the wool is pulled over them. I went into the theater with low expectations for the film “Red Sparrow” starring Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, but came out thoroughly surprised. Look there are...

HOLLYWOOD—I heard plenty of buzz, I mean massive buzz about the latest film by director Steven Spielberg, “Ready Player One.” As a result, I had to check out the flick which far exceeded the expectations that I already had in the back of my head. It’s no secret that Spielberg has done some phenomenal things in the cinematic universe...
