HOLLYWOOD—We’ve been waiting and the penultimate episode of season eight of “The Walking Dead” has finally arrived.

“A Quiet Place” Wins Box-Office
HOLLYWOOD—I teased that this movie might open up to large numbers at the box-office and I was right. The horror-flick, “A Quiet Place” starring Emily Blunt and John Krasinki blew away expectations opening to an impressive $50 million during its debut weekend. I can guarantee you right now; strong word-of-mouth buzz for this flick will keep it in the...
Is Liam Spencer Guilty On “B&B?”
HOLLYWOOD—Well that was a quick resolution if it’s accurate America. I thought the writers of “The Bold and the Beautiful” might drag out the notion of who shot Bill Spencer a bit longer. I mean the list of suspects is uncanny, but I poked at this idea a few weeks back (do you remember)? I listed my top three...
“Acrimony” Offers Nothing New
HOLLYWOOD—Tyler Perry, the man behind the hit character Madea is a triple-threat when it comes to writing, directing and producing. He has tapped into acting a bit, but I think he is far more successful behind the camera. While known for comedy, Perry has found a way to broaden his horizons. I loved “Why did I Get Married,” and...
“Red Sparrow” Delivers Surprises
HOLLYWOOD—It is no easy feat to craft a spy-thriller that finds the right tone to leave the audience intrigued, involved and attempting to piece the puzzle together before the wool is pulled over them.

Jack Isn’t An Abbott On “Y&R!”
HOLLYWOOD—For three consecutive weeks we’ve chatted about the ins and the outs of “The Young and the Restless” and this week is no different. It seems the writers are delivering some of their best work right now, which I wish was the case about 6 weeks ago during February Sweeps. If we thought Victor being hospitalized and in a...
“Ready Player One” Is Stunning!
HOLLYWOOD—I heard plenty of buzz, I mean massive buzz about the latest film by director Steven Spielberg, “Ready Player One.” As a result, I had to check out the flick which far exceeded the expectations that I already had in the back of my head.

Arts Are Alive, America Not Dead
HELLO AMERICA!—I have been receiving so many queries concerning our Pre-Broadway play with music “I Feel Sin Comin’ On” from tons of young people who live in big and small towns and cities from all over our country; it’s quite gratifying to know that so many young people in the arts. It’s true that our nation is in quite...
“Iron Chef Gauntlet” Returns!
HOLLYWOOD—I hold a large regard of my cooking skills in the kitchen to the Food Network, specifically the series “Iron Chef America.” If there was ONE thing I could tell anyone about the art of cooking is you have to be fearless and you cannot be afraid to experiment. This is a show where you see the titans in...
