“It” Is Scary As Hell!

HOLLYWOOD—I’ve never been scared of clowns, but there is something about the clown in the 2017 remake of Stephen’s classic “It” that is absolutely unnerving.

“Hitman’s Bodyguard” Wins Labor Day Box-Office

HOLLYWOOD—This has been a terrible summer at the box-office America. I have not seen numbers this bleak in years, I mean August has never been the greatest month for flicks, but even in previous years we’ve seen some flicks manage to surprise moviegoers like “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1” and the 2007 remake of “Halloween.” For the third...

“Annabelle: Creation” Is Spine-Tingling Fun!

“Girls Trip” Is Hilarious Fun!

HOLLYWOOD—We’ve always talked about how difficult comedy can be done. The last time audiences witnessed a hilarious comedy involving women was the 2011 hit “Bridesmaids” starring Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig. However, 2017 proves that when done right comedy can be just as fun with ladies with “Girls Trip.” Now, let’s just take the elephant out of the room:...

“Hitman’s Bodyguard” Wins Slow Box-Office Weekend

HOLLYWOOD—August is over, and the summer box-office proved to be one of the worst in recent history if you ask me.

“Atomic Blonde” Has Fun Action, Dull Story

HOLLYWOOD—When most people think about a spy, James Bond automatically comes to mind, but what if I told you that “Atomic Blonde” takes the notion of the spy genre and turns it on its head a bit? Most people would be skeptical and so was I, but “Atomic Blonde” does offer some different for moviegoers. First off, we’re not...

“The Emoji Movie” Offers Lackluster Laughs

HOLLYWOOD—Rarely do I ever frown at an animated film, but there is something about “The Emoji Movie” that just leaves you wondering, there is no way someone thought this movie would be that entertaining right? Well, let’s talk about it. As soon as “The Emoji Movie” opens I was immediately taken back to the animated flick “The Lego Movie.”...
