HOLLYWOOD—While channel surfing something hit me, as a movie marathon of all Alfred Hitchcock classics were playing for like 2 days. As a film student, I deciphered, ripped apart and overanalyzed so many films by Alfred Hitchcock it took the fun out of the flicks for me including the films “The Birds” and “Rope” America. However, it hit me...

SANTA MONICA—Awards season may be over, but it still lingers throughout the year. On Sunday, June 5, the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards were held with actress Vanessa Hudgens hosting festivities. The “Emily in Paris” bit was not hilarious and that “House of Gucci” bit didn’t have me rolling off the couch people. The “Top Gun” bit was...

HOLLYWOOD—I didn’t hear about this movie until literally a week ago, but it’s the latest horror flick from writer, producer and director, Kevin Williamson. Williamson is the brains behind the iconic franchise, “Scream” and a few other notable films in the franchise. His latest film, “Sick” tackles something I have been eager to see done: a horror film chronicling...

HOLLYWOOD—I am not the biggest fan of video games being adapted for the big screen. A lot of the time the filmmakers just don’t mix the right formula. I mean if you look at the history of many video games turned into movies they have bombed, “Tomb Raider,” “Street Fighter,” “Max Payne,” “Silent Hill,” the 1995 “Mortal Kombat” are...

HOLLYWOOD—This week, we’re going to talk about an all-time classic. I wanted to take another examination of a flick/remake that is slightly controversial. Look, I think “John Carpenter’s Halloween” is iconic. The 1978 horror flick is pure horror at its best. Suspense that is palpable, jump scares that are great and unexpected, a villain that haunts to an unbelievable...

HOLLYWOOD—Who is going to take the Oscar for Best Actor? This is a race that I feel is not as clear cut as people suspect, I think it is a two-person race with a few contenders that should be delivering more chatter. Our nominees include Paul Giamatti “The Holdovers,” Bradley Cooper “Maestro,” Colman Domingo “Rustin,” Cillian Murphy “Oppenheimer” and...

HOLLYWOOD—Well we are less than a week away from the culmination of awards season: the 90th Annual Academy Awards. We talked about some of the big races: Best Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Actress, Actor and now it’s time to discuss both Best Director and Best Picture. Here are the ONLY two categories where the winner is not set in...

HOLLYWOOD—Not every single thing needs to be adapted to the big screen. And if you’re planning to do another adaptation of a popular video game to the cinematic universe it might be important to do a bit of homework first. Lara Croft, does that name ring a bell to any of you? She is the popular character from the...

HOLLYWOOD—She was the breakout movie star of 2017 and it seems she is riding that success into 2018 with a bevy and I mean a bevy of films to come. Who am I referring to? I’m referring to Tiffany Haddish, who hosted the 2018 MTV Movie and TV Awards. For the consecutive year, the ceremony has chosen to eliminate...
