  • The Academy Museum Opens ‘The Horror Show’ October 1, 2026
    It’s October and time to think of horrible things, things that go bump in the night and things that give you a fright. The Academy Museum has just the thing for all. Horror can be many things. It can be Thing or a thing. It can be romantic and funny. It can be nightmare-inducing sights. […]

  • ‘Forgotten Island’: A New Family-Friend Entry to Halloween Film Fun, But with a Filipino Flare ⭐️⭐️⭐️ September 25, 2026
    What happens when you take “The Hangover” and make it female, Filipino and family friendly? You get the fast-paced colorful fun that is “Forgotten Island.”  Even if you’re not familiar with Filipino culture and Tagalog (lingo primer supplied below), you can still enjoy the basics including the introduction of a new menageries of Halloween horrors. […]

  • ‘The Uprising’: A Ploughman, Poll Tax and the Unruly Populous ⭐️⭐️ September 23, 2026
    If what you know about Richard II is based on Shakespeare’s “Richard II,” you’ll go into this film a  little sympathy for the young teen who finds himself at the center of a national crisis. Yet the young key, while a key player, isn’t our main character. Instead, we’re in the thick of the Peasants […]

  • Lucas Museum of Narrative Art: Less about Art and more about Ego September 13, 2026
    What is “narrative art” has been the question circling around Los Angeles like buzzards waiting for a fine dining experience. The SDCC presentation for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art failed to clarify that as did the press released from the museum last month. After two days at the museum, I have the answer. This […]

  • ‘Coyote vs. Acme’: Inspired Mixed Mayhem Filled with Nostalgia ⭐️⭐️⭐️ August 28, 2026
    Recently someone called the 1990s vintage and old-timey and that hurt, but while the mixed live-action animated legal comedy “Coyote vs. Acme: springs from a 1990 article by Ian Frazier for “The New Yorker Magazine,” the nostalgia reaches back even further. While John Cena is often the straight man in a comedy, he’s almost as […]

  • Lanterns, SDCC Lantern Training Headquarters and Season 1 Episodes 1 & 2 Recaps. August 28, 2026
    The only reason I was interested at all in the TV series “Lanterns” was because of SDCC and that ring. I love my ring, but I’m not sure if I love the TV series. Just seeing the two episodes isn’t enough to determine that. I need at least three to get into the groove and […]

  • ‘All Wishes Come True!’ Is a Blessing and a Curse in the Mythical Land of Penglai ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ August 20, 2026
    Going into this blind, I was still thoroughly invested: Who doesn’t love a handsome rogue with a heart of gold after gold in a heist film where the stakes are low? This is animation and no one really dies. You don’t need to know anything about Daoism or Chinese mythology to enjoy “All Wishes Come […]

  • Kūkai: Hallmark Lovely Moments But the Film Is Only for the Fanatical Faithful ⭐️ August 6, 2026
    People throw around the phrase “zen” while  knowing zero about  “Zen,” so while I feel people in the US and Europe could learn more about Buddhism, the documentary “Kūkai” directed Yue Ye is not the vehicle where enlightenment will be found. In Los Angeles, it is worth knowing about Kūkai, the founder of Shingon (True […]

  • ‘The Samurai and the Prisoner’: Fictional Mysteries within a Historical Mystery⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ August 6, 2026
    Going into the film “The Samurai and the Prisoner,” those familiar with Japanese history will know the situation and who lives and who does not. That hangs a heavy, pensive cloud over all that happens in this historical drama. Based on Honobu Yonezawa’s Naoki Prize-winning book, this essentially is a journey filled with mysteries within […]

  • SDCC Star Trek 60th Anniversary Panelists Reveal Memories and Faves July 29, 2026
    During roundtable interviews, I wasn’t able to ask each interviewee what their first Star Trek memory was and what their favorite episodes were, but here’s what I got. Happy Star Trek viewing! Rod Roddenberry First Star Trek memory: “I remember being a little kid in my father’s home office bathroom. He had a 9 mm […]
