Review: THE BYE BYE MAN

By Mark Saldana Rating: 1 (Out of 4 Stars) The tagline to this new horror film is, “Don’t Think It.

Entertainment News: THE 2017 GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS

By Mark Saldana The 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards took place Sunday night with amiable, but mostly absent host Jimmy Fallon handling the emcee duties.  After a rather amusing and lengthy introduction to the festivities, it seemed like the host barely appeared afterward, occasionally introducing award presenters.  Otherwise, the awards show, held by the Hollywood… Continue reading Entertainment News: THE 2017 GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS
