Carpenter announced via Facebook on Thursday, February 9, that the boogeyman that scared audiences to...

HOLLYWOOD—Well, not every sequel can be a massive hit. I predicted “The Lego Batman Movie” would dominate the box-office this weekend and I was correct. The animated flick took the top spot at the box-office during a competitive weekend earning $55.6 million. While many expected the sequel to “Fifty Shades of Grey” win, the sequel fell short of its predecessor...

HOLLYWOOD—The Grammys gained about one million more viewers in 2017, with an estimated 26 million compared to last year's ceremony. The Grammys are one of the most-viewed events in television.

LOS ANGELES—Well, awards season treks on, but this time in the form of music.

While this is an awards show, it’s more like a concert, as more...

HOLLYWOOD—Normally in the weeks leading up to the Oscars, I would break down the six major categories: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. However, this year is a bit different. I have the strong feeling that both the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress races are locks when it...
