  • ‘The Last Full Measure’: Inspired, But Not Inspired Enough ☆☆ January 25, 2020
    Written and directed by Todd Robinson and featuring some heavy hitting award-winning actors, “The Last Full Measure” struggles in the jungles of patriotism to give US Air Force Pararescueman William H. Pitsenbarger his due. The premise of the film is Pitsenbarger deserved a Medal of Honor, but political machinations prevented it until an investigator gets [… […]

  • ‘Party of Five’ Gets a Political Reboot January 25, 2020
    “Party of Five” returns with a family of five left to fend for themselves, but this time, it’s not because the parents have died. Instead, the parents have been deported and the kids remain in sunny Southern California. Created by Christopher Keyser and Amy Lippman , the original “Party of Five” aired on Fox for six seasons […]

  • Year of the Rat/Mouse 2020 January 25, 2020
    This year, 2020, is the Year of the Metal Rat/Mouse. The Japanese and Chinese don’t differentiate between mouse or rat.  For the Japanese, the year started on 1 January, but lunar year starts on 25 January 2020 and ends 11 February 2021. The Chinese recognized five elements: wood, fire, earth metal and water. In Chinese […]

  • Sting’s ‘The Last Ship’ Opens at the Ahmanson: GO! ☆☆☆☆ January 23, 2020
    The 68-year-old Sting (Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner) has sailed into the Ahmanson on the politically-minded “The Last Ship.” Focusing on a British union crisis from the past, the play begs you to think about the fate of the common man, but you might be able to ignore the social implications and concentrate on the modern […]

  • ‘Volta’ May Jumpstart your New Year’s Resolutions ☆☆☆☆ January 22, 2020
    With its first sports-inspired big top show, “Volta,” the Cirque du Soleil could jumpstart your New Year’s Resolutions to get out and exercise more and even push yourself to do something daring. Currently at Dodger Stadium until 8 March 2020, this show features the familiar as well as some soaring don’t-try-this-at-home acts with the theme […]

  • Freeform’s ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Okay’ January 21, 2020
    One of the charms of “Everything’s Gonna Be Okay,” is it doesn’t play coy. Sex is going to be discussed in ways that might make some heterosexual people uncomfortable and creator/executive producer Josh Thomas isn’t going to seduce you into liking his characters before he drops the gay bomb. The pilot begins with a gay […]

  • Tim Robbins’ ‘New Colossus’: Heartfelt Collective Storytelling January 21, 2020
    Don’t miss the national tour of “The New Colossus”  because you’ll get a chance to hear and be heard, and be part of the continuing story of this nation of immigrants and the national discourse on immigration. Sensitive and heartfelt, at times heart-breaking, these are true stories tied together by love–each actor has a personal […]

  • ‘Bad Boys for Life’: Aging Badly ☆ January 19, 2020
    “Bad Boys for Life” is the latest installment in the series about Miami detectives Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) and in this third installment Belgian directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah takeover the reins from Michael Bay and that’s not an improvement. Bay directed the original 1995 “Bad Boys” and the […]

  • Disney’s ‘Togo,’ the Difficult Dog Dilemma and Hidden Heroes ☆☆☆☆ January 18, 2020
    Disney’s latest dog-lovers film, begins with the blurry image of dogs running. We soon see the lead dog, the blue-eyed black and brown fuzzy dog named Togo,  who goes straight past a herd of caribou. The driver, in more fur than a high society wealthy woman on a NYC winter,  looks back to see storming […]

  • ‘Dolittle’ and the Dragon: A Teachable Moment January 17, 2020
    During my long association with dogs, I’ve been to several different veterinarians. One office had a peculiar display that included things that  had been extracted from dogs. Gastrointestinal obstruction in dogs (and cats) is cause for concern and can lead to death. For that reason, I wasn’t particularly concerned about the dragon featured in Robert […] […]
