HOLLYWOOD—The 2019 Oscar race might not be quite under way, but we now know many films that will be positioning themselves over the next seven months, thanks to a series of announcements from some of the major autumn festivals. The 2019 Oscar ceremony will be held on Sunday, February 24, 2019. It seems that over the last few days,...

HOLLYWOOD—Let me just say this; I hate rewind or non-eviction weeks on “Big Brother.” It slightly stalls the gameplay in my opinion, and the producers need to shake the game up a bit so the contestants are much more on edge; make them think they know what to expect, but in actuality they have no idea. Week 4 similar...

HELLO AMERICA!—I must admit once learning that writer and filmmaker Daniel Gross was also an alumnus of U.S.C., where I had my beginning years before, I immediately was interested in his view of the book by a mutual friend Sofia Lvsh. Once reading Gross’ review I contacted him asking if I might republish it in my column with the...

HOLLYWOOD—Hmm, I cannot recall the last time the box-office was such a nail bitter. I was certain, and I mean that with absolute certainty that Denzel Washington and his sequel, “The Equalizer 2” would win the box-office, but it was close. Washington who was last seen in the flick “Roman J. Israel, Esq.” did battle against Meryl Streep and...

HOLLYWOOD—Should we all say it now, “We saw it coming from a mile away.” I said it a few weeks ago that if the powers that be wanted to shake things up on “Days of Our Lives” they would make the baby in Abigail’s belly belong to Stefan and cue the dramatics. Abigail was in utter shock upon learning...

HOLLYWOOD—This is wild and really came out of left field in my opinion when it comes to the latest storyline development on the CBS soap “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Out of the blue Hope Logan suddenly has a stalker who has been making threats against her, and I questioned the possibility that it was perhaps Bill Spencer who...

HOLLYWOOD—Just because you have a high-profile action star and an over-the-top premise does not guarantee you have a hit on your hands. For the life of me, I could not stop comparing Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s latest action-thriller, “Skyscraper” to the Bruce Willis action-flick “Die Hard.” Perhaps it’s the fact that this film takes place inside a building primarily,...

HOLLYWOOD—At last, the power dynamics have shifted America on “Big Brother 20.” The Level 6 alliance and Tyler have been controlling the house since the start of the game, but that has all changed America. Why? Scottie won the Head of Household after Swaggy C was evicted. Yes, Swaggy C the personality is out, while we have boring characters...

HOLLYWOOD—I thought the season seven finale of the USA series “Suits” was a major disappointment. The show has been dealing with a ton of changes since season 6. First, viewers saw the departure of Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres), and then we later saw the departure of series regulars Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) and Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle). Yes,...

HOLLYWOOD—A billionaire? Yes, Kylie Jenner, 20, is on track to become a billionaire, with a total of 160 million social media followers. When did it all begin? Miss Jenner was just 10 years old when she made her debut on her family's reality television series "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." A decade on, the show is still going strong...
