LISTEN TO ALL OUR HOLLYWOOD NEWS PODCASTS Once again, before we get down to business of self promotion, first things first. I do sincerely hope all of you are staying safe and sane in these trying times. As a continuing distraction during the Coronavir…
Alright folks, onward (no pun intended) we go folks with this weekly series of mine that I’m doing here at the site. Yes, we’re talking the top 25 Oscar winners in just about every single one of the Academy Award categories out there to be discussed. A…
A third of the way through the year, it’s safe to say that 2020 is unlike any we’ve ever faced. Cinemas are shut, large scale wide releases are on pause, and the only things being put out are independent titles, through Video On Demand serv…
Felicity Huffman has been in the news a lot over the last year or so, and not for her acting. There’s no need to get into the scandal she was involved in, since it has no bearing on her work here. However, it never hurts to have a showy performan…
