HOLLYWOOD—When I heard a new “Mean Girls” remake or reboot was coming to the screen I was excited, the 2004 flick written by Tina Fey and starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams was iconic. It was a movie that captured high school and cliques in a way that has never been seen before and became an instant cult classic....

HOLLYWOOD—Remakes, it seems about a decade ago it was the hugest trend in the horror genre, well now that trend has seemed to spill over into the action genre as well. The biggest issue I witness time and time again with remakes in Hollywood is the filmmakers aim to do one of two things: 1) Recreate the original with...

HOLLYWOOD—I have not been this eager to see a horror flick in years. As a fan of the genre, which crafted my interest in the cinematic world as a child, it just seems the genre has been dead for years. Till this day, the 80s was the death of the genre as we know it because so many flicks...

HOLLYWOOD—There are very few films that I find somewhat appalling or as I would call it gross-out and pushes the boundaries so far that I have to ask myself, “Am I really watching this?” I though the animated flick, “South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut” was the one flick that had so much hype, so much flat out disgusting...

HOLLYWOOD—The boxing sequel that fans of the “Rocky” franchise have been eagerly waiting for, “Creed II” has arrived. Three years after the 2015 hit, audiences are being treated to Michael B. Jordan going into the ring with Florian Munteanu in a battle for the ages: Adonis Creed’s son battling Ivan Drago’s son. Yes, I love a great boxing movie...

HOLLYWOOD—Well, I’m not surprised this flick reigned supreme at the box-office, but I am slightly wowed that the film did not perform as big as expected. “Glass” catapulted itself to the top spot of the box-office with $47.1 million during the four-day Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. The final installment in the trilogy (“Unbreakable” and “Split”) earned $40...

HOLLYWOOD—Hollywood writers have begun a mass firing of agents as a result of major agencies hesitation to sign code-of-conduct letters that would prevent the illegal practice of packaging. Writers were asked by the Writers Guild of America to fire their agents and told its members Friday, April 12, to “Notify your agency in a written form letter that they...

HOLLYWOOD—I think it is indeed safe to say the 2019 summer box-office is NOT off to a great start. We’ve seen disappointing returns for “Aladdin,” “Godzilla: King of Monsters,” “Dark Phoenix” and now you can add “Men in Black” to that list. The next installment in the “MIB” franchise (without Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones), “Men in Black:...

HOLLYWOOD—I have been waiting since September 2017 to see how it would all end. It has been a very long time since a horror movie unnerved me, like the remake of “It” did. It was the first horror flick in quite some time that really placed children in the harm of evil and that opening sequence left me rattled....

HOLLYWOOD─Very rarely do I have movies as a must-see on my list, but after seeing that amazing and I amazing trailer for “Bombshell” I have been eagerly waiting for this movie to get its release in theaters. Why? Let me just say it, Charlize Theron! What the makeup and hair people did with her character is beyond Oscar worthy....
