HOLLYWOOD—It is hard to fathom that in a short span of 8 years we have had a total of FOUR, yes count it, four “Alvin and the Chipmunks” flicks. Yeah, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the notion of how I got stuck taking my nieces and nephews to see the latest installment each time it arrives...

HOLLYWOOD—Christmas has been the season of spreading good cheer, of spending time with your family and of sharing, caring and giving. Of love and compassion of family bonding. We can't forget about how lonely Christmastime can be for those that think about their loved ones. Those that are still suffering from bereavement. One of Elvis Presley's most popular songs...

HOLLYWOOD—Unless you have been living under a rock, that is the only possible way you could not have heard of a tiny movie called “Star Wars” that was about to be unleashed on the world. Yes, I’ll be the first to admit I’m not the biggest “Star Wars” fan. To be honest, I’ve only seen glimpses of “Star Wars,”...

HOLLYWOOD—This might sound bad, but I’ve been waiting months for Steffy Forrester to be forced to face the music about her actions on the CBS soap “The Bold and the Beautiful.” I mean her cousin Aly was killed when the two got into a scuffle, and it was as if Aly’s death barely mattered to anyone. That death resulted...

HOLLYWOOD—Well “Jurassic World” created the notion of a world where dinosaurs and humans could possibly co-exist, we all know that is a stretch. However, “The Good Dinosaur” presents that ideology in an animated foray in a pre-historic era. The movie which is directed by Peter Sohn revolves around a group of dinosaurs and humans who attempt to co-exist in a...

HOLLYWOOD—It is the "The Voice" season 9 finale, and the top 4 performed one last time before Tuesday night’s crowning of the winner.
