HOLLYWOOD—I woke up last Sunday saddened and disturbed by the violence in Orlando, Florida. The grief and inhumanity have touched so many of us that these words will never capture. The targeted attack on the Pulse nightclub makes this a difficult time for so many people all over the world who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. It’s at times...

HOLLYWOOD—“Big Brother” fans it’s time to rejoice! Since the end of “Big Brother 17” we’ve all be speculating and wondering just what is in store for us for the latest chapter in the BB franchise, as “Big Brother 18” is less than a week from premiering. Well on Tuesday, fans of the series got their first opportunity to come face-to-face...

HOLLYWOOD—Last week “Scream” ended on a climatic note with Audrey discovering Jake’s bloody body. This week’s episode, ‘Vacancy’ proved that this new killer or accomplice (yes, the killer might be a face from the past) made it clear he or she is not playing games. Audrey was clearly shaken by what she found, just as the killer decided to...

HOLLYWOOD—Rarely would I advocate a sequel as being better than the first, especially in the horror genre, but wow, “The Conjuring 2” sure delivered on so many fronts I never expected. The sequel, a follow-up to the 2013 hit, sees the return of Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as Lorraine and Ed Warren, paranormal investigators who have a bevy...

HOLLYWOOD—It was a fight amongst sequels this weekend at the box office as “Now You See Me 2,” “The Conjuring 2,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows” and “X-Men: Apocalypse” all did battle for the top spot. However, in the end it was the supernatural horror flick “The Conjuring 2” which came out on top. The sequel...

NEW YORK—It was indeed a somber night for the American theatre community as the Tony Awards were held on Sunday, June 12 from the Beacon Theatre. The musical “Hamilton” led all contenders with 16 nominations and was the big winner of the night taking home a total of 11 awards including Best Musical. Host and funnyman James Corden kicked off...

HOLLYWOOD—A lot of people might be surprised to know that as a kid, I was a HUGE fan of the cartoon and action figures for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” I mean I had every single action figure; one of my faves was Donatello. I recall the first live-action films of the 1990s quite well, as they were entertaining, but...

HOLLYWOOD—Can you believe the madness that is erupting on the CBS soap “The Young and the Restless.” If the death of Sage didn’t erupt a tornado in Genoa City, it looks like Phyllis and Billy take the cake. Billy has indeed been a busy playboy, not to say the least that Jason Thompson has really made this character his...

HOLLYWOOD—More back story was filled in episode three of “Preacher,” but it seems to have left me with more questions than answers. We begin in Houston. Previously, Tulip had mentioned a person named Dany to Jesse, who he seemed to know as well. Turns out Dany is a woman who hires Tulip to acquire things. The map Tulip had stolen in...

HOLLYWOOD—It has been quite some time since, I’ve see an actual romance-drama that made me tear up a bit. I mean everyone tends to go back to “The Notebook’ which has been heralded as the all-time chick-flick, but “Me Before You” might give that movie a run for its money. The film is based on the popular novel from...
