Movie Going

HOLLYWOOD—There is something about horror legends from the 80s that just won’t die. Michael Myers is slated to return to the big screen in the eleventh installment in the “Halloween” franchise, “Halloween Returns.” The sequel was announced by Dimension Films and Trancas International Films. Stepping behind the camera for the latest scare fest is Marcus Dunstan. Dunstan holds writing credits...

HOLLYWOOD—The box-office exploded with uncertain expectations this weekend as “Jurassic World” surpassed predictions. The fourth installment in the franchise broke box-office records earning more than $208.8 million. The movie now ranks as the highest debut of all-time surpassing the previous record holder “The Avengers” which earned $207.4 million back in 2012. The dinosaur adventure starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas...

HOLLYWOOD—I already noted that summer 2015 would be one of the biggest of all-time at the box-office. It seems week after week a blockbuster is invading theaters. This weekend we have the release of "Jurassic World," the highly anticipated sequel to the "Jurassic Park" franchise that literally changed people's perception about dinosaurs thanks to Steven Spielberg. Can you believe...

MorHOLLYWOOD—Asking a movie buff his or her favorite movie, is like asking them to choose which parent they love best; it’s no easy choice. When I think of a ‘favorite’ movie, I think of a film that no matter what mood I’m in, no matter how tired I am, if it comes on television or I want to watch...

HOLLYWOOD—Scares during the summer months are quite rare at the box-office, but that won’t stop the third chapter (likely the last) in the “Insidious” saga, “Insidious: Chapter 3.” This installment is a prequel, which sheds a bit of light for the audience on how psychic Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) manifested her ability to communicate with the dead to help...

HOLLYWOOD—This might sound weird to many people, but there was one film that shaped my interest in cinema at a very young age. Actually, it was one character to be exact. Any guesses as to who? I’ll give you hint: he’s known as the ultimate boogeyman. It’s Michael Myers. There is something about a faceless, soulless, unstoppable killing machine...

HOLLYWOOD—There is a slight problem with attempting to take something from the small screen to the big screen: it’ll always been seen as something from the small screen. For years, avid fans of the HBO hit “Entourage” have been dying to see those favorites return in grand fashion, well the wait is over. “Entourage,” the movie, reunites Vince (Adrien...

HOLLYWOOD—Disaster movies are quite fun. Notably because they take the idea of the extreme and throw every possible facet in the audience’s face. The latest flick to be unleashed to the audience is Brad Peyton’s “San Andreas” starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. The first thought that popped into my mind when I saw the trailer for this movie is...

HOLLYWOOD—Hmmm, when I first heard about the movie “Tomorrowland” I did my best to categorize the flick. Was it an action movie, a sci-fi adventure, a family flick, fantasy adventure? In essence, it’s a little bit of all those things which is the problem with cohesion. The fantasy flick which stars Oscar-winner George Clooney takes the audience on a...

HOLLYWOOD—I have seriously been waiting for quite some time for a movie to come along to deliver some wicked thrills something to scare me unlike anything before. Well that wait might finally be over. “Poltergeist,” a new interpretation on the 1982 classic that was helmed by Tobe Hooper, much debate has said that Steven Spielberg was responsible for the...
