Hollywood, CA…We sincerely apologize to “Moonlight,” “La La Land,” Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Oscar viewers for the error that was made during the award announcement for Best Picture. The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected. We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and […]
Hollywood, CA…“Blood lost. Life found,” goes the tagline for The Revenant. As the titular character quickly discovers, however, what is found is not truly life, but a strange sort of waking dream—one that is alternately beautiful and stark, but ultimately lacking complexity or any deeper message. Unfortunately for viewers, they may feel the same way […]
New York, NY…It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of husband, best friend, father, comrade, and Eagles founder, Glenn Frey, in New York City on Monday, January 18th, 2016. Glenn fought a courageous battle for the past several weeks but, sadly, succumbed to complications from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis […]
Hollywood, CA…Does Star Wars really need a review? You’d be hard pressed to find a more multigenerational and beloved film franchise, and the new film—Episode VII to be precise—was guaranteed to be a massive hit no matter what, bound to succeed on its legacy alone. The Force Awakens is practically hardwired to tap into this […]

Hollywood, CA…“The dead are alive,” declares the opening title card (a first in the franchise), for Spectre. It’s a running theme throughout the twenty-fourth official James Bond film, over which the shadow of Bond’s legacy looms large. More so than any of the previous films, particularly in the Daniel Craig era, this new story tries […]
Hollywood, CA…First things first: The Martian is a pretty good movie. Like all good films, however, it comes with a catch. In this case, if you don’t like Matt Damon, you will probably not like this film, as it is two hours of Mr. Damon. That said, he delivers an extraordinary performance, filled with surprising […]
Hollywood, CA…Near the beginning of Black Mass, Johnny Depp, portraying Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger, tells his young son that he should only “punch someone when no one is looking.” It’s an apt statement to describe the elder Bulger, who lingers in the background until it’s time to strike. It also applies to the […]
Greenwich, CT….Pro Football Hall of Famer, broadcaster & husband of Kathie Lee Gifford has passed away at the age of 84. He played for 12 seasons for the New York Giants and led them to a NFL Championship in 1956 over the Chicago Bears. Frank Gifford was also a co-host of Monday Night Football for […]
Hollywood, CA…The Mission: Impossible series has always been represented by a lit fuse—first in the 1960s TV show, followed by its revival in the 80s, and continuing with the Tom Cruise film series that began in 1996. It’s a particularly apt symbol for this fifth installment, subtitled Rogue Nation, as one never knows what to […]
