The wait is over. The red carpet is finally rolled out. And the show is on.

The 2019 Golden Globe Awards hosted by Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh was worth the wait. I expect a little drama, a lot of comedy, some suspense, and possibly some romance. Is it possible that Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, from A Star is Born, kiss?

Stars gather in Beverly Hills, California tonight to celebrate a momentous occasion. Live at the Beverly Hilton hotel, celebrities are dressed their best and have prepared awesome speeches in advance, no matter what they say to the contrary.

The Golden Globes is a golden opportunity for Hollywood stars to shine. All eyes are on Hollywood right now. Tonight, we honor their excellence in the motion picture business.

The movie industry is notoriously difficult to get establish in for a variety of reasons. Everybody isn’t cut out to be a movie star. Actors must audition, get agents, and many times they go through a gruesome process. Still, don’t get discouraged, because there are many roles you can play. It takes a village to raise a family and an army to make a movie.

I enjoyed every minute of the Golden Globes so far. It was fun seeing all the stars share the spotlight. You’ll learn about what’s hot on TV and the movies you might have missed.

There are a ton of amazing entertainment choices. It is impossible to see every movie and TV series. Plus, a new celebrity is created every day.

Overall, the presenters made a nice contribution. Watching the Big Bang Theory cast on stage together was a sight to behold. Taraji P. Henson and Gina Rodriguez added to the diversity along with the Black Panther cast.

Crazy Rich Asians were celebrated. All actors received their glory. You got everything you wanted in a show. The 2019 Golden Globes may be the best yet.

Friends from College Is the Perfect Netflix Original Comedy Binge

Friends from College season 1 starring Keegan-Michael Key is the perfect Netflix Original comedy binge. Each episode averages approximately 30 minutes in length and there is a total of eight in the series, right now. Soon, there will be more episodes because season 2 is expected to air on January 11, 2019.

You can reasonably finish your binge over the weekend. If you choose to binge-watch the show, I guarantee you’ll enjoy every minute. Friends from College is fun, light, dark, laid-back, and energetic when necessary.

I watched every episode and I’m fascinated by the script and character development. Admittedly, some things are predictable. The characters grow and the script flips. I feel there isn’t a better setting or a more perfect plot. Friends from College is about a group of college friends from Harvard who reunite in New York City.

Keegan-Michael Key is a novelist named Ethan, who’s married to a lawyer who hates her job. They don’t have any kids together. And Ethan is cheating on his wife with her best friend.

Plus, Ethan secretly has feelings for Marianne. That’s pure speculation on my part. Marianne is a friend from college who allows Ethan and his wife to live in her New York apartment rent-free.

Ethan is the character you love to hate. The comedy show is predictably all about Ethan. Fred Savage plays Ethan’s gay best friend and agent named Max. Max’s partner is a surgeon, who also graduated from Harvard. He openly hates Ethan, because he thinks Max has secret feelings for Ethan.

You see Keegan-Michael Key and Fred Savage are a dynamic duo. If Keegan-Michael Key’s Ethan is Batman, then Fred Savage’s Max is Robin. Max is Ethan’s muse. They make up stories and write books.

The TV show debut on July 14, 2017. Friends from College season 2 returns after a year-long break next week. Clear your schedules next weekend, because the perfect binge is back.

From Barbara Streisand to Christina Aguilera, a star was born in New York City, New York. New York City celebrities like Lady Gaga, shine brightest this time of year. As we celebrate our old friendships and new acquaintances, let’s recognize our favorite New York City celebrities. Who is your favorite NYC celebrity?

Have you ever been to NYC? Have you had a chance to experience Christina Aguilera in concert? Christina Aguilera has so much soul.

I’m excited about Xtina’s New Year’s Eve performance tonight on ABC. She brings it home. I look forward to a fun filled night.

If you could copy her voice and repackage it, you would make millions of dollars. Beautiful, Genie in a Bottle, Candyman, Dirrty and Bound to You are just a few of Christina Aguilera’s greatest hits.

Did you know Alicia Keys was from New York? Enjoy listening to Empire State of Mind. Alicia Keys defines rhythm.
Alicia Keys was born to entertain. There’s no one like Alicia Keys, and that’s why she’s recognized today even in Tokyo, Japan.

Let’s throw in Mariah Carey while we’re at it, because she is the epitome of New York City celebrity. When it comes to music this time of the year, who does it better than Mariah Carey? Mariah is a gift that keeps on giving.

Still, New York isn’t just about music. New York City is a land of entertainment…Broadway shows, movies, and television. Scarlett Johansson is a prominent resident.

She has starred in exceptional films such as Lucy, Avengers, and Ghost in a Shell. The excellent Scarlett Johansson is a household name and a big box office ticket. This Hollywood actress should become number 1 soon.

There are a ton of New York City celebrities. It seems every celebrity would like to associate with the city in one form or another. Taylor Swift recently moved there. Who are your favorites?

Why Avengers Is the Ultimate Brand

Why Avengers Is the Ultimate Brand

Last summer Avengers: Infinity War was released in theaters. I was lucky to watch this blockbuster movie. Avengers: Infinity War was probably the biggest and best movie of Summer 2018.

It had everything you could want in a film: action, romance, suspense, drama, and a little comedy. I highly recommend seeing any Avengers movie. Marvel does it the best.

Now, Robert Downey Jr. showed why he is time and time again the number 1 actor in the world. Plus, Scarlett Johansson shined bright like the diamond she is. And Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Chris Pratt proved why they have Hollywood’s favorite first name.

In a sense, Avengers: Infinity War was the ultimate movie. Moreover, Avengers is the ultimate brand because the movie franchise is comparable to Star Wars and Star Trek. In fact, I think it’s better than Star Trek.

Give the director kudos because managing all those egos must have been extremely challenging if not a nightmare. Also, the cinematography was on point. I loved all the characters. There was lots of color and excitement.

You see, Avengers goes beyond the movies. Like Star Wars, it is woven in the fabric of pop-culture. It is worldwide appealing too. It is more than just America.

The genius behind Avengers, itself, is that the franchise is movies within a movie, TV within television, and well-defined characters within themselves. In other words, you can count on your kids wanting to dress up as an Avenger on Halloween. There are so many choices. Doesn’t everybody want to be a superhero?

In closing, Hollywood is changing. The movies are more daring. It is not enough to merely follow the formula anymore. You’ve got to tweak the script and challenge the status quo.

Without question, Avengers set the bar high every time. All their movies are top-notch quality. They create superior original entertainment.

Avengers: Infinity War reminded me of being a blend between X-Men Apocalypse and Days of Future Past. Avengers, as a Marvel brand, takes you on an adventure. What is more, the journey is a dream come true for comic book fans. That’s why Avengers is the ultimate brand.

Academy Award Actors Celebrity Entertainment film Good Kill Guru Jay Hollywood Stars Lenny Kravitz Lisa Bonet Movies Pretend We're Kissing Rosario Dawson X-Men: First Class Zoe Kravitz

Why Zoe Kravitz Is One of Hollywood’s Hottest Stars

Zoe Kravitz is one of Hollywood’s hottest actresses. She is one of the brightest stars in showbiz. Right now, the 29-year-old is one of the best under 30. The celebrity is making headlines for dating Karl Glusman. She could turn him into the next Leonardo DiCaprio if he’s lucky. Pop Sugar is comparing their romance to Rihanna’s love interests.

Who wouldn’t like to date Zoe? The entertainer is so beautiful. Look at her, she is stunning. Plus, when she is not making headlines she is making major movies. Her career is in the beginning stages and she’s already done fantastic work. You can watch her Pretend We’re Kissing and Good Kill movies on Netflix. Also, she was wonderful in X-Men: First Class.

Although she received her start in No Reservations in 2007, I feel the 2011 X-Men movie put her on the map. She shared the X-Men universe with Halle Berry. Like Halle, she is a true artist. She is in route to become the next big thing. Zoe Kravitz does whatever it takes. Moreover, Kravitz is living the Hollywood dream. I think she will win an Academy Award in due time.

It’s amazing what she gets to do for a living. She gets to star in the biggest blockbusters and critically-acclaimed Indie films. She roleplays to perfection and shines like a diamond on the silver screen. Kravitz doesn’t make bad movies. Every script she touches turns to gold. She is a great supporting actor on par with Rosario Dawson. However, if given the opportunity she won’t disappoint as a lead actress.

Do you follow her on SnapChat, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter? The daughter of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz is making her parents proud. She is a Tinseltown favorite, and she’s gaining momentum. The star is steadily building her brand name and reputation.

Why You Should Binge-Watch Goliath Season 1

Goliath Season 2 is coming to your home tomorrow through Amazon Prime video. If you haven’t heard about it already, Amazon Studios has produced 8 fresh episodes. And if they’re anything like Season 1, you are in for a special treat.

You should binge-watch Goliath season 1 so that you have a recap. Plus, binge-watching the first season will make binge-watching the second season a lot more better. You see, every show has a twist and a cliff hanger. There’s no other way to put it, but to say that the writing on Goliath is brilliant. Moreover, the scenes keep the fans on the edge of their seats.

Do you want to have a fun weekend? If you’re a fan of suspense, drama, and a little comedy, then this is your show to binge-watch. I will tell you more about the show in this blog.

Believe it or not, everyone doesn’t have Amazon Prime and everyone doesn’t know about this great TV show. You’ll be surprised. The legal thriller is really about life in two different worlds.

Goliath is an unprecedented tale of one man taking on a greedy corporation. Attorney Billy McBride doesn’t take crap from anybody, including his ex-wife who works for the law firm representing this greediness. He is not afraid of their thugs. Moreover, he has his resources and his own way to get information.

Billy used to belong to the “superior” world until he lost his path. Donald Cooperman a former buddy and now is a formidable foe. Right now Billy is in an “inferior” world and is in a fragile state of mind.

Still, he fights back not in a physical sense but with his brains. I don’t want to give too much away. But there are some sexy characters and ugly ones too, depending how you look at it.

To conclude, Billy McBride pounces on the opportunity to make something of himself and the world he lives in, all the while being addicted to alcohol. The Amazon Prime series is highly entertaining and addictive. I suggest you binge-watch season 1 when you have the chance.

Why Electric Dreams Is Worth Binge-Watching

Why Electric Dreams Is Worth Binge-Watching

I highly recommend binge-watching Electric Dreams. You will thoroughly enjoy the Amazon Original by Phillip K. Dick. It is a very entertaining series from the start. The anthology is a collection of intriguing episodes sparking your imagination. This blog post will review the first episode called ‘Real Life.’

In episode 1, Anna Paquin’s character and Terrence Howard’s character share a virtual fantasy world together where they live out each other’s lives in ‘Electric Dreams.’ Anna Paquin is a lesbian policewoman and Terrance Howard is a Tech billionaire. They visual another world- one futuristic and the other modern day. Anna Paquin lives in the future, and Terrence Howard lives in 2012.

Through these virtual headsets and microchips they’re able to connect with each other. In other words, there are two worlds on a collision course. Unfortunately, in both worlds they suffer tragedies. Howard’s character loses his wife and Paquin’s character ultimately enters a coma.

It is not a coincidence that the two main characters share the same lover. The episode reveals many connections such as the same scenery. As the story unfolds, you’ll find familiar places and similar scenarios.

The setting takes place in futuristic and present day Chicago. It revolves around ‘real life’ and science. Technology is a major theme. Moreover, how technology connects us and divides us is explored.

The actors did an amazing job. Every detail was well thought out and the cinematography was incredible. Give credit to the director and producers.

Finally, the episode warns people about the pitfalls of virtual reality. On the one hand, virtual reality is good because it’s an escape mechanism. They call it a vacation. On the other hand, virtual reality is bad because it ultimately leads to disconnection.

Electric Dreams explores the dynamics of society in multiple ways. In the future, we have flying cars and holograms but less compassion. Still, in both worlds, we need more compassion.
