When the allegations about Kevin Spacey first came out, my initial thought was why did Anthony Rapp wait so long to shed light on the now clearly predatory personality that is Kevin Spacey Fowler. But for those who are truly victims and then survivors of whatever kind of violations one is forced to go through,
Many of us watched the movie adaptation of the book about Michael Oher and the Tuohy family called The Blind Side. We watched Sandra Bullock earn an Oscar for her role as the “adoptive mother” of Michael Oher. While movies take creative liberties to make them better for screen adaptation, this movie took great liberties
The Hammer family reminds me of another rich family in Hollywood called the Getty family although in different ways. The three episodes in this TV series weaves between present and past time. It begins with an introduction to Armie Hammer’s life and expands from there, speaking about the Hammer family secrets and scandals that were
At one point in their lives, these actors and actresses regretted being in movies or TV series for one reason or another. Sometimes it was because they didn’t have faith in the movie when filming ended, didn’t like certain scenes in which they acted, or had difficulties on the set with the director. I also
You what word I can’t stand today? It’s the word “woke.” Former President Barack Obama stated his opinion where telling someone s/he did something wrong is not activism or brings about change. People are way too much on Twitter and whatever other social media platform they use to tell others to “get woke.” Please spare
The WGA (The Writer’s Guild of America) took a vote in 2005 among film and TV writers of the best screenplays in Hollywood. This list of 101 greatest screenplays is a nod to those writers who create greatness on blank white paper. Out of the scripts chosen, 45 were original, 56 were adaptations, 60 were
Marriages turn into crumbling messes called divorces in the real world. It seems the opportunities to experience the Hollywood marriage (separated, annulled, or divorced within a year) are abundant when compared to the rest of us. I wonder how much of it is fact and myth, but here are some of the shortest and longest
It is a given that high school for the majority of us is necessary. The same goes for college or university. While it might not get you what you thought you wanted, it has valuable lessons. What about those who decided to drop out of high school or not go onto college or a university
If you’ve ever done any study about the earlier years of Tinseltown, you know about the Golden Age of Hollywood. A major film studio is basically a production and distribution company that releases a substantial number of films and commands a significant share of box office revenue. There were eight original major studios during this
When I first moved to Los Angeles, I rented an apartment that Hollywood actresses and actors stayed. The executives would then shuttle them to any of the studio lots for whatever movie they were in and after a long day, bring them back to this apartment. It had an elevator, I think, but it wasn’t
Most of us struggle with our weight unless you’re one of the fortunate ones who like to exercise like crazy and watch their weight like hawks. This made me think of the actors and actresses who lost or gained quite a bit of weight for a role. There are pros and cons to this. It’s
Many of us dream and think what it would be like to earn and have a net profit in the millions. We think it will bring us all kinds of happiness and indeed, it does in some respects, but in others not. There are pitfalls to most everything. You lose your privacy when you become
I was going to write down the reasons why I picked these actors/actresses, but then I decided against it. My choices speak for themselves. My mark of a great actor/actress is his or her ability to transform on the screen as well as the capability of having range. These are in no particular order, but
