Devious Betrayals Erupt On “Young And Restless!”
HOLLYWOOD—The war between Christine ‘Cricket’ and Phyllis continues on “The Young and the Restless.” I must admit I do like this rivalry because these ladies have long history and in the middle of it all is Danny. Danny is conflicted about his emotions and I cannot understand it. Danny and Cricket are like the daytime romance of “Y&R” that...
Oscar Predictions: Best Actor
HOLLYWOOD—Who is going to take the Oscar for Best Actor? This is a race that I feel is not as clear cut as people suspect, I think it is a two-person race with a few contenders that should be delivering more chatter. Our nominees include Paul Giamatti “The Holdovers,” Bradley Cooper “Maestro,” Colman Domingo “Rustin,” Cillian Murphy “Oppenheimer” and...
“Maestro” A Mesmerizing Tale Full Of Surprises
HOLLYWOOD—I have been hearing about the performances in this movie for quite some time now, so I was pleasantly pleased with what I witnessed upon watching the movie, “Maestro.” For those not in the know, the film tells the story of legendary composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein. I wanted to do a bit of a history on Bernstein because...
“The Oval” Recap: ‘Adjust And Adapt’
HOLLYWOOD—Is Victoria Franklin dead? That is the mystery fans were left with on last week’s episode of “The Oval.” This week’s episode, ‘Adjust and Adapt’ picked up with that ‘shocking’ moment as Kareem and Antonio panicked, just as Donald entered the fray. Hunter got a treat of watching the video and seeing Victoria out cold on the floor.
Aaron was...
“Argylle” Is A Mixed Bag Of Fun
HOLLYWOOD—I am going to say this right away, “Argylle” entertained me to a degree. Yes, there are plenty of people bashing the flick and it deserves some of the slack that it has received. It is a spy-adventure that has too much going on and a bit of the fat needed to be trimmed to turn it into an...
“Poor Things” Is Artistic, But Boring
HOLLYWOOD—I don’t understand the critical love for the whacky dramedy/sci-fi flick “Poor Things.” I know so many people in the cinematic universe that are gushing over this movie. This film is so quirky and odd that either you love it or hate it, and I didn’t love this flick, and it is because it is boring. There is no...
February Sweeps Emerges On “Days Of Our Lives!”
HOLLYWOOD—My instinct was right; I knew Stefan and Ava would ultimately hook up on “Days of Our Lives.” The tension between these two who were forced to work together to protect their loved ones, got drunk and gave into temptation, not once, but twice. Both were horrified after the deed, but Stefan even more. Why? It meant he cheated...
Black Cinema Excellence: “Boyz N The Hood”
HOLLYWOOD—It was momentous when it was released in 1991. It was a movie that placed a spotlight on the urban ghetto unlike anything seen on the big screen. It elevated Black Cinema in a way that hadn’t been done before, and it delivered a movie to this day that I find riveting and I find little nuggets every single...
Oscar Predictions: Best Supporting Actress
HOLLYWOOD—Last week it was all about Best Supporting Actor, this week it is all about Best Supporting Actress, and I think this race might be the biggest lock of all the categories for me. One person has dominated, but there is someone nipping at her heels. The 2024 nominees are Emily Blunt “Oppenheimer,” Danielle Brooks “The Color Purple,” America...
