Movie Going

HOLLYWOOD—No surprise here people, as another superhero rises to the top of the box-office. This time it was everyone’s favorite web slinger, Spider-Man aka Peter Parker who thrilled audiences over the weekend. The latest rebirth of Spidey, “Spider-Man: Homecoming” took in over $117 million to dethrone “Despicable Me 3” from the top spot. That is indeed an impressive opening in...

HOLLYWOOD—I remember the first “Cars” flick when it hit theaters back in 2006 where it was a favorite for my nephew who was only 4 at the time. Since then we had “Cars 2” which came and went; now we have the latest chapter, “Cars 3.” I went into the theater with low expectations, but found myself quite moved...

HOLLYWOOD—There was massive backlash on the fifth installment in the “Transformers” franchise, but I will acknowledge, “The Last Knight” was not as bad as critics had totted the flick to be. Is the movie great? No. Is it the worst thing I’ve seen this year, not even close! The latest in the franchise, just like all the other flicks...

HOLLYWOOD—Rarely do I fan-buzz about a movie, I mean its takes a lot for me to advocate for people not to walk, but rush to the theater to see a film, and that movie is the new action flick “Baby Driver.” I’ve seen plenty of high-octane, action flicks involving cars, but never one to this degree. This movie that...

HOLLYWOOD—Well, it was a competitive weekend at the box-office as we usher in the Fourth of July holiday. Yes, the 4th falls mid-week which impacted the box-office numbers to some degree people. However, with multiple new releases and old releases all in theaters, who would come out on top? Well, it was the sequel, “Despicable Me 3” jumping into the...

HOLLYWOOD—Its June and the past 2 months have been quite disappointing if you ask me when it comes to summer blockbusters. So many flicks are crashing and burning at the box-office. Well, you can now add another flick to that list: the fifth installment in the “Transformers” franchises. “Transformers: The Last Knight” opened to dismal numbers with a disappointing $45.3...

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—“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...

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...
