  • ‘Toy Story 5’: The Best of the Franchise to Date ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ June 17, 2026
    While I’ve been entertained by the “Toy Story” series, and the first four films spoke to my toy-loving heart,  this latest installment really has my profile: misfit girl who loves toys and murder mysteries. Then it added a new horse-loving girl in purple boots with wild hair and basically the two kids this is about […]

  • ‘The Furious’ 火遮眼: Love, Fathers and Husbands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ June 12, 2026
    “The Furious” ( 火遮眼 Huǒ zhē yǎn)  is 113-minutes of inventive, violent Asian martial arts choreography, punctuated by splattering blood and the crunching of bodies meeting the fury of fatherly fists. All of this over-the-top violence is forgivable because of its driven by a mysterious Chinese father Wang Wei (Xie Miao) trying to save his […]

  • ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters,’ Season 2, Episode 8: ‘Separate Ways’ Recap June 10, 2026
    Titan X makes landfall in Australia, where Shaw lures Godzilla into a showdown.

  • ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Season 2, Episode 7: ‘String Theory’ June 10, 2026
    Shaw received an impossible radio transmission. Cate and Keiko uncover an ancient link to Titan X. Isabel has a proposition for Kentaro.  We start with a countdown and see a hand, touching dog tags, the kind of soldiers wear for identification. This is Axis Mundi 1962. The Titan is at 4,000 feet. It is the […]

  • Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Season 2, Episode 6: ‘Requiem’ Recap June 10, 2026
    Shaw and Suzuki test a “Titan phone” designed to summon Godzilla, triggering an unforeseen event that puts Shaw in the path of his own past. The episode starts on Skull Island, two weeks earlier (2017). That means, of course, we’ll have a sighting of King Kong. Kentaro is observing kong and making ink pen drawings. […]

  • GO! ‘Ascent’ Is About Almost (Asian) Americans and Aerospace ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ June 6, 2026
    The play “Ascent” comes as a bittersweet reminder of the long history of anti-Asian sentiment in the United States. Yet it also reminds us that the story of Asians and Asian Americans often requires Asian Americans to raise their voices. “Ascent” is about the life and career of aerospace engineer Qian Xuesen (钱学森), missed opportunities […]

  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Karen Bass and the Non-Citizen Vote May 22, 2026
    Why should someone in Florida be so concerned about the mayor of Los Angeles? So many people outside of Los Angeles seem to have an interest in the mayoral elections. When I lived in Pasadena, Altadena or Orange County, I wasn’t that concerned with the mayoral race in Los Angeles or even my hometown, but […]

  • Ms. Geek Speaks: How to Analyze Facts or TB today Versus COVID-19 May 22, 2026
    This is an example of poor analysis of the facts. People did die, but where and why did they die? In 2022 only 565 deaths from TB were reported in the US. TB is rare in the US. According to the WHO, 1.23 million people died of TB in 2024. “Globally, TB is the world’s […]
