1984. 1884. 2084. It doesn’t matter the century. Never — EVER — should Kristen Wiig (or any other actress) have more screen time for extended periods of time than Gal Gadot in a “Wonder Woman” movie. That’s just one of many huge problems with this sequel to 2017’s groundbreaking, transformative original of the franchise. “Wonder […]
For the past six years, whenever I heard the title “Wreck-It Ralph”, I cringed. Those words would immediately trigger a flashback to November 2, 2012. That was the day I saw that film – that mean-spirited, flat, stuffed wall-to-wall, overly cute mess, jammed with pop culture references and characters – and little else. “Wreck-It Ralph” […]
“Skyscraper” is the third big-budget action movie starring Dwayne Johnson to open in the last seven months. But audiences still flock to see The Rock – and this latest effort is destined to be a sure-“fire” hit. Johnson plays Will Sawyer, a former FBI op turned building safety expert who travels to Hong Kong to […]
Last year, to shake things up, the MTV Movie Awards became the MTV Movie & TV Awards, with non-gender or genre defining categories.

Alec Baldwin Baldwin continued his run as Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live” (which earned him an Emmy). He hosted more episodes of ABC’s “Match Game” revival (which earned him […]
DC finally delivered a post – “Dark Knight” winner earlier this year with “Wonder Woman”. But not even the presence of Gal Gadot’s Diana, along with the Caped Crusader and a few new and old friends, make “Justice League” worth getting excited about. This is a superhero film where nothing is super – and no […]
The first half of 2017 is history. Out of all of the new releases I saw during the first six months of the year (unfortunately I haven’t been able to get to “The Big Sick” yet), here are the 10 Best: 1. “THE HERO” Sam Elliott is outstanding and deserves Best Actor nomination attention for […]

Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when a pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, […]
“Man of Steel” was dull, “Batman v. Superman” was weak, and outside of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, “Suicide Squad” was a major disappointment. But with “Wonder Woman”, DC has finally proven that it can be a worthy competitor to Marvel in the battle for superhero movie supremacy. Gal Gadot’s appearance in the final act […]
Super Bowl LI was a Falcons blowout – until the final six minutes of regulation. The game went to overtime – the first time in a Super Bowl. And the New England Patriots pulled-off the biggest comeback in Super Bowl and Professional Sports Championship History with a 34-28 victory. The night also included Luke Bryan, who sung […]
