A: As far as his acting career goes, Ackles, […]

There are, quite ­literally, hundreds and hundreds, if not ­thousands, of Christmas movies in the world. And, every year — as sure as we know the sun will come up tomorrow — there will be at least a dozen or more XMass Flicks, alternating between spreading joy and/ or making some of us cringe. This year, of course, is no […]

When you take the considerable ­talents of Amy Adams, Glenn Close and Ron ­Howard and bring them ­together on a film project, like ­Netflix did for this movie, ­“ Hillbilly ­Elegy,” you have got to think the odds would be pretty good that the final product would, most likely, be ­something worthwhile and what local legendary film ­exhibitor Jim Norton […]

Q: When is the new ­“ Wonder Woman” movie coming out? Will it be in theaters or just pay-per-view at home? I really want to see it on the big screen. I miss going to the movies. —Y.G.

Also, what about her father, the ­legendary Francis Ford Coppola? — M.D. A: Despite her family ties, Sofia Coppola did not have a good start in show business.

Even in these times, there are a lot of ­choices for people who enjoy movies. This is a truly wonderful, ­glorious thing. With a ­relatively small amount of ­effort, within a few ­keystrokes, you can find something that will match your mood, tastes or ­individual, specific whims on any given, random day. I like many different colors and flavors of […]
