HOLLYWOOD—Be warned, be warned, “Blade Runner 2049” is an interesting flick, but it is a long movie to be honest. This film clocks in just less than 3 hours, and for most patrons that is a time frame that is excessive in the cinematic universe. The big question many have is rather you have to watch the original “Blade...

HOLLYWOOD—Wow, I honestly had no plans to write a column this week on “General Hospital,” but the writers that be decided to speed up that storyline involving the tale of two Jason’s in Port Charles. I mean it was teased for weeks that a lucky resident in PC would first come face-to-face with a familiar face, but I never...

UNITED STATES—Halloween is almost here America, and as I reflect on Halloween when I was a kid compared to being an adult, things have vastly changed. Something that many people might be surprised to hear about is that growing up as a kid I did not always go trick-or-treating. Yes, I know this might sound crazy, but it’s true?...

HOLLYWOOD—I really thought hard about this week’s column, as we wrap our month long discussion on all things spooky in the genre of horror. This week the discussion landed on the quintessential ‘whodunit’ subgenre that really destroyed horror in my opinion during the 1980s as it did its best to intertwine itself with the slasher subfield. Things became more...

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...

SAN FRANCISCO—Officer Elia Lewin-Tankel, 32, of the San Francisco Police Department was critically injured by a suspect who attempted to flee authorities with his vehicle. The incident transpired on October 18 at approximately 12:21 p.m., officers from Tenderloin Station were conducting a firearms violation investigation.

HOLLYWOOD—I thoroughly enjoyed last week’s episode of Tyler Perry’s “If Loving You is Wrong,” and this week things only got more intense as several storylines began to intersect. This week’s episode, “Falling” saw Randal cry wolf yet again, in hopes of further irritating Brad and Alex. Randal can dish it, but he can’t take it. You can’t play bad...

LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles Dodgers opened the 2017 World Series on Tuesday, October 24 with a towering blast on the first pitch courtesey of Chris Taylor en route to a 3-1 victory over the Houston Astros at the iconic Dodgers stadium. The Dodgers lead the best of seven series 1-0. Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw was lights out. The best pitcher...

LOS ANGELES—Coming after their 6-4 victory on Saturday, October 21 over the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Los Angeles Kings have now won six of the eight regular-season games they’ve played this year. Prior to last night’s 3-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the one black mark on the team’s record came on October 11 during their overtime loss to...
