HOLLYWOOD—Talk about a movie that is indeed a surprise for viewers. I’m referring to the flick “Violent Night” that has a title that might be a turnoff for many Americans, but don’t allow it to be because this movie is an entertaining, exciting, hilarious fun ride that I enjoyed every second of. There have been some holiday theme flicks...

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—I knew the flick would open big, but I thought “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” was a box-office darling; however that flick had nothing on “Blank Panther.” Why? I can’t recall the last time nearly every theater I went to the flick was sold out for the entire four-day holiday weekend. Yes, it was beyond frustrating, not to mention...

HOLLYWOOD—Nominees for the 52nd Annual NAACP Image Awards were announced on Tuesday, February 2, with the Netflix flick “Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey” leading all contender with 10 nominations. The movie is nominated for Best Motion Picture alongside “Soul,” “Da 5 Bloods,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” and “One Night in Miami.” Both “Ma Rainey” and “Soul” earned 9 nominations...

HOLLYWOOD─”Frozen II” opened to big numbers last weekend at the box-office and that success continued during the Thanksgiving holiday as well. The sequel broke box-office records taking in close to $124 million over the holiday weekend. That is massive. Since its release, “Frozen II” has amounted over $287 million at the domestic box-office and is certain to cross the...

HOLLYWOOD—I seriously can’t recall the last time I was super excited about the summer movie season arriving, but 2015 is looking like one of the best to date. We have superheroes, ghosts, funny ladies, dinosaurs and more superheroes; enough for the entire family to enjoy. The month of May will be one of the biggest movie months to date in...

HOLLYWOOD—When “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” first arrived in theaters in 2003, it was the sleeper hit of the summer. It came out of nowhere, was entertaining as hell, and made the idea of being a pirate a pop culture phenomenon again. Fast-forward to 2017, and we’ve now seen 3 sequels in the franchise,...

HOLLYWOOD—Rarely, and I mean rarely would I used the word ‘masterpiece’ to describe a movie, but man was I blown away at the multiplex this weekend. I love a good comic book adaptation, but for the most part they are popcorn fun. Not many flicks from that genre make you think or wonder. When I think of genre bending...

HOLLYWOOD—I’ve finally seen the movie that is so buzzed about, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” which is the frontrunner in the Oscar race with 11 nominations including Best Picture. However, I have plenty of thoughts about this sci-fi dramedy as I would properly categorize it. It is hard to follow, but if you allow yourself to suspend yourself from...

HOLLYWOOD—When it comes to horror what is your go to scary movie? Is it a classic, something modern, something camp, an iconic villain, I think we can chat about this for hours if not days because everyone has their own cup of tea when it comes to horror. Some might like the supernatural, some might like ghost tales, the...
