  • AFI Fest: ‘Elsinore’ and the Triumph of a Lifetime ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ October 23, 2026
    The biographical film, “Elsinore,” is a touching portrayal of one man’s struggle against a fatal illness and his last chance to portray Hamlet on the National Theatre stage in London. The film stars Irish actor Andrew Scott who was nominated for an Olivier Award for his portrayal of Hamlet in 2017 (a performance that was […]

  • The Odyssey: The Greeks, Cornell and Rape Culture October 21, 2026
    One of the things that the Christopher Nolan’s film “The Odyssey” avoids is the rape culture present in text of “The Odyssey.” His Odysseus isn’t a complicated man. He’s an earnest, honest man as played by Matt Damon, who was forced to appease the ambitious Agamemnon by joining the fleets against Troy and this poor […]

  • Netflix’s ‘Ray Gunn’: Futuristic Noir Hits the Right Notes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ October 21, 2026
    Murder investigations are one of my favorite TV genre and the 1950s futurism is one of my favorite art aesthetic and Netflix’s “Ray Gunn” channels both of these. This is the story of a private eye guy who is honest, but not always lawful. He’s not above a little larceny as we’ll witness in the […]

  • ‘Wildwood’: A Troubling Set Up for a Girl’s Wild Hero Journey ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ October 21, 2026
    After viewing the portal for “Wildwood” at SDCC, I was looking forward to this film because I love stop-motion animation and I love furry things, even if they are made less furry by the nature of clay. I was unfamiliar with the book which the film is based on so I essentially went in blind–no […]

  • Last Chance: ‘Fashioning Chinese Women: Empire to Modernity’ Closes Monday, Don’t Miss! October 8, 2026
    This weekend at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is your last chance to see some gorgeous examples of Chinese and Chinese American fashion, “Fashioning Chinese Women: Empire to Modernity.” This exhibit features fashion from the 1930s to the 1960s with specially designed mannequins to show off each era. The “empire” in the title […]

  • 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 […]
