HOLLYWOOD—Halloween is indeed upon us and it looks like audiences were looking for a great scare this week. The eighth installment, yes, you heard me correctly, eighth installment in the “Saw” franchise, “Jigsaw” scared the box-office with a haul of $16.3 million. Not the most impressive for a horror franchise that was once synonymous with all this Halloween. It...

HOLLYWOOD—Just when things start to get good, the writers find a way to halt a wickedly evil character from the consequences of their actions. Things have been juicy on “The Bold and the Beautiful,” as a direct result of Bill Spencer going to great lengths to get his beloved skyscraper. His eldest son, Liam turned the tables on dad...

HOLLYWOOD—Be warned, be warned, “Blade Runner 2049” is an interesting flick, but it is a long movie to be honest.

HOLLYWOOD—I am just like any other spectator, I love a great disaster flick, but in recent years we’ve seen quite a few. Rather it be, “The Day After Tomorrow,” “Deep Impact,” “The Perfect Storm” “Twister” or “San Andreas” to name a few. Well, the latest entry into the genre with “Geostorm.” This disaster flick stars action-star Gerard Butler as...

UNITED STATES—An offer from another chain store came for the drug store, and my parents welcomed it. Capitulating to one of the chains was still not the most desirable ending to 44 years of service. Then a young eager pharmacist, interested in taking over the pharmacy, reappeared. He would preserve the Johnson name, its independence and assure continuity. It seemed...
