I watched the first three episodes of “The Morning Show” shortly before they debuted in November 2019. I then caught-up with the rest of Season 1 during the early days of the COVID Pandemic in Spring 2020. AppleTV+’s flagship series, an over-the-top, at times outlandish drama about the workings of a fictional morning television program, […]
Warner Bros. recently delayed “Dune: Part Two” from November to next March. The studio doesn’t want to release the highly anticipated action/drama sequel to their highest grossing movie of 2021 just yet, likely because they’d like the star-studded cast to promote the movie. I thought WB could’ve kept “Dune: Part Two” in November. So many […]
With “A Haunting in Venice” opening on September 15th, you might be thinking, “Didn’t I JUST see Kenneth Branagh as Detective Hercule Poirot?” And you’d be right. “Death on the Nile” opened in theaters just 19 months ago. It was originally set to set sail in October 2020, but COVID caused it to change course. […]
Last September 3rd, “National Cinema Day” was celebrated in more than 3,000 theaters in North America, with $3 tickets to every showing of every movie all day long.

He’s best known for powerhouse dramas… and as Robert McCall in a certain action series that’s releasing a third and final installment at the end of this summer. “The Equalizer 3” opens September 1st. And while Washington very likely won’t be able to […]
Last week I had the chance to visit the iconic Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio for the first time, ahead of this year’s Enshrinement ceremony. The parking lot / exterior part of the property is currently under construction (and I was told it will be for the next two to three years), […]
Christopher Nolan has directed some of the finest, most accomplished actors in entertainment, including Oscar winners Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman. But none of them make my list of my favorite performances in Nolan movies. It begins with the late Heath Ledger, who was incredible as The […]
Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling are facing-off at the box office over the July 21-23 weekend with “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie”. But soon, they’ll be joining forces on a major promotion tour. Late last year they filmed “The Fall Guy” together. It’s a Universal action film from “Atomic Blonde”, “Deadpool 2”, “Hobbs & Shaw” and “Bullet […]

This December will mark 10 years since Margot Robbie broke through on the big screen in Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” and quickly became a household name. The Aussie actress appeared about two months earlier in Richard Curtis’ romance drama “About Time”, alongside Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy and Domhnall Gleeson (who Robbie would […]
