HOLLYWOOD—It’s hard to fathom that just 7 years ago J.J. Abrams totally rebooted the “Star Trek” Franchise with a fresh approach and new faces.

HOLLYWOOD—Just when you think you know how the madness will end on your favorite soap opera, the writers find a way to throw another curveball at the viewers. Yep, I totally thought I had the whole who is Charlotte’s mother, who is Charlotte’s father melee, figured out, but wow, what a twist. It has been revealed after a bit...

HOLLYWOOD—If you saw J.J. Abrams thriller “Cloverfield” back in 2013, you might suspect that “10 Cloverfield Lane” is a direct sequel, but you’d be wrong. None of the characters that appeared in that flick make a reappearance in this thrill ride. One thing that separates “Cloverfield” from “10 Cloverfield Lane” is the use of the camera.
