HOLLYWOOD—I had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the “All Eyez on Me” film chronicling the life of rapper Tupac Shakur. However, this movie is not what fans who grew up listening to the rapper’s music or following his life will expect. There is a major disclaimer that I have to point out, this is not a full-fledged biopic;...

HOLLYWOOD—We have had plenty of shark flicks in my lifetime, however, nothing, and I mean nothing will ever be able to compare to “Jaws.” I mean come on people that flick is a classic. However, I have to give honorable mentions to flicks like “Deep Blue Sea” and “The Shallows” that made the idea of going into the water...

HOLLYWOOD—This is the summer of the blockbusters. However, blockbusters, aren't for everybody. This summer, you have "Transformers: The Last Knight, "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "War for the Planet of the Apes." You'll also have the animated sequel "Cars 3," animated threequel "Despicable Me 3," and Christopher Nolan's war epic "Dunkirk." But what if you don't really care for blockbusters. Not...

HOLLYWOOD—“Wonder Woman” has thrilled moviegoers for the past 2 weeks, but there is a new champion at the box-office courtesy of some speedy cars. The sequel “Cars 3” zoomed to the top spot with an impressive $53.5 million haul. The animated feature grossed over $75 million globally during its opening weekend. Still dazzling audiences is “Wonder Woman” whose week after...

HOLLYWOOD—Father's Day is this coming weekend, with that in mind, it's time to go shopping. What should you buy? You can be creative and make a beautiful frame full of beautiful memories. You can surprise him with a golf outing. Another fabulous idea is BBQ tools and dinner is always a great idea. Or you can surprise him by...

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...

LOS ANGELES—Actor Adam West, known for his starring role in the 1960s ABC television series “Batman,” died on Friday, June 9, in Los Angeles, following a short battle with leukemia. He was 88. “It's with great sadness that we are sharing this news...Adam West passed away peacefully last night after a short but brave battle with leukemia,” West’s family said...

HOLLYWOOD—Well, I have to eat those words I echoed last week about “Wonder Woman” losing its top spot at the box-office to the Tom Cruise adventure “The Mummy.” Gal Gadot and company held onto the top spot in theaters dropping less than 50 percent to maintain its grip on moviegoers with an impressive $57.2 million. In just 10 days,...

HOLLYWOOD—I will admit I had reservations about the big screen version of the flick “Wonder Woman.” I just got the vibe that the movie might not be as good as I expected. However, I have to eat those words as I was far more entertained than I ever expected. The film is not the first big screen adaptation of...

HOLLYWOOD—The expectations for the “Wonder Woman” big screen adaptation were expected to be huge, but I don’t think anyone could have forecast the numbers that the female-centric superhero saga would deliver during its opening weekend. “Wonder Woman” easily nabbed the top spot at the box-office brining in over $100.5 million at the domestic box-office. Not only does it hold the...
