Starring Annette Bening in an award-worthy performance, director Mike Mills’ semiautobiographical story is a showcase… Continue reading Review: 20th CENTURY WOMEN

Review: PATRIOTS DAY

040616_PATRIOTSDAY_KB_462.CR2

By Laurie Coker Rating: B+ The Boston Marathon bombing is one of those events that embed themselves in the collective memory, like the shuttle explosions (the first in 1986), the Oklahoma City (1994) bombing and the twin towers going down (2001).

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. Don’t Say It.”  I say, don’t bother whatsoever with this, not at all frightening and sometimes unintentionally hilarious, movie.  This latest supernatural, bogey man flick fails miserably with its only entertainment merits coming from the… Continue reading Review: THE BYE BYE MAN

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
