“Food Network Star” Crowns A Winner
HOLLYWOOD—I have always been a fan of the reality competition show “Food Network Star.” It gives the opportunity for a culinary cook, home cook or someone who just loves food, the opportunity to have a TV show. I will admit things have certainly changed since season 7. Why? I can’t recall the last time one of the winners actually...
“Annabelle: Creation” Scares Top Spot At Box-Office
HOLLYWOOD—Well, maybe summer isn’t over just yet America. I totally forget the inbuilt audience who were absolute fans of “The Conjuring,” “The Conjuring 2” and “Annabelle,” because the prequel, “Annabelle: Creation” scared up a juicy $35 million during its debut weekend. That is definitely not a bad number for a flick in the month of August and one that...
“Young And Restless” Delivering Plenty Of Surprises!
HOLLYWOOD—Man, the fall from grace for Cane Ashby on “The Young and the Restless” has been quite ruthless to say the least America.

“Wish Upon” Delivers Minimal Scares
HOLLYWOOD—For most people if they had three wishes they would have to think carefully about what they truly want, but what if I told you that you had a total of seven wishes, what would you wish for?

“Big Brother 19” Week 6 Recap
HOLLYWOOD—Last week I left off on a major cliffhanger about the explosive events that transpired in the house during the week, I decided not to recap because I wanted to SEE exactly how the TV show would edit the series of events, and wow is the best way to describe the episode. The live eviction TOTALLY screwed up all...
“HAHN” Recap: ‘A Broken Mirror’
HOLLYWOOD—Last week’s episode of Tyler Perry’s “The Haves and the Have Nots” ended on a climatic note with Jeffrey and Landon walking in on a naked Justin in Jeffrey’s bed. This week’s episode, ‘A Broken Mirror’ certainly amplified the level of drama. Justin was taken aback by Landon’s arrival and his pal’s drunken antics caused Justin’s blood to boil....
Black Actors Trapped In Own Making!
HELLO AMERICA!—Recently, I have been receiving so many messages concerning current actors of color portraying old concepts and views of themselves as a people in this country. Betty Hamilton, a third-grade teacher, and listener of my radio WLMR radio show and reader of this column from Boston inquired why so many potentially fine actors, especially black female artists believe...
“Sharknado 5: Global Swarming” Plain Silly!
HOLLYWOOD—Ok, when “Sharknado” first debuted on the SYFY network back in 2013, it was a major hit. It was the talk of the town: a movie so bad that it was utterly impossible to take your eyes away from the screen. It was bad, but it was SO GOOD! Fast-forward to 2017 and we are now on the fifth...
“The Dark Tower” Surprises The Box-Office
HOLLYWOOD—Well America we can all agree right now, summer is officially over! Why? The box-office debut of three films this weekend proved it. “The Dark Tower” and “Kidnap” both received horrid reviews, and their box-office receipts proved it. In a surprise, the Stephen King adaptation of the highly anticipated “The Dark Tower,” managed a dismal $19.5 million during its...
