  • ‘Violent Night’ Is Live-Action R-Rated Cartoon Level Violence ⭐️⭐️⭐️ November 30, 2022
    While theoretically, I’m a pacifist and don’t believe in violence, I was raised on the high-level bloodless brutality of the Looney Tunes and at San Diego Comic-Con learned that I enjoyed killing zombies in a virtual world. For me, “Violent Night” is a welcome visual vacation away from the usual saccharine holiday fare. Director Tommy […]

  • GO: National Geographic Beyond King Tut Immersive Experience November 28, 2022
    King Tut might not have lived very long, but thousands of years after his death, he became world famous when his tomb was discovered in 1922 and one hundred years after that discovery, his death mask remains internationally recognizable.  As part of the celebration of the centenary of the discovery, National Geographic has produced a […]

  • ‘While We Watched’ Review: TIFF and DOC NYC 2022 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ November 27, 2022
    With the recent announcement that former president Donald Trump will be campaigning to become president in 2024, fact-checkers and fact-based journalists in the US are undoubtedly on alert. The worry of fanatical nationalism that led to the chaos at the Capitol building prior to the current president’s inauguration is still part of the national dialogue […] […]

  • ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’: Cuts into the Pandemic ⭐️⭐️⭐️ November 27, 2022
    Music fans might be familiar with the phrase “Glass Onion” as the name of a John Lennon and Paul McCartney song and that song is on the soundtrack of Rian Johnson’s new film, “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” but you won’t see any bent-backed tulips or strawberry fields or walruses. A musical figure does […]

  • ‘Summer Ghost’ AIF 2022 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ November 23, 2022
    “Summer Ghost” is an animated short (40 minutes) about life and death and three people at the crossroads who band together and seek a rumored apparition who has been named “Summer Ghost.” The film begins with the closeup images of a twinkler type firework. A year has passed and these three high school-aged people–two guys […]

  • ‘Strange World’ Transforms Adventure Genres for a Charming Tale of Fathers and Sons ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ November 23, 2022
    Take a dive into the 3D-animated adventure that transmogrifies adventure genres for a charming examination of fathers and sons. This won’t make you cringe like “Strange World” begins by embracing the comic strips of the past with two-dimensional animation and a (Sir) H. Rider Haggard story, but it does involve lost worlds without the cringy […]

  • GO: Be Inspired by ‘Clyde’s’ November 23, 2022
    Don’t go to see “Clyde’s” on an empty stomach. You won’t make it through without some intestinal grumbling and there’s no intermission. This is a show where foodies will wish the program came with recipes, and “Clyde’s” might activate some kitchen creativity afterward. While this seems like a lightweight fun time, this play, which is […]

  • ‘She Said’ Review AFI FEST 2022 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ November 18, 2022
    In journalism school, students are typically told to watch two films: “Citizen Kane” and “All the President’s Men.” Those films are by men about men, but “She Said” should be listed among journalism must-sees as well. “She Said” is about women and the power of speaking out as opposed to being silent. The film’s name […]

  • GO ‘2:22 – Ghost Story’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ November 11, 2022
    What does it take to make a convincing argument seems to be the main theme of playwright Danny Robins’ “2:22 – Ghost Story.” As the title suggests, the topic of the evening is ghosts. Jenny (Constance Wu) is a believer and her husband Sam (Finn Wittrock) is a sceptic. Sam’s old friend Lauren (Anna Camp) […]

  • ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’: Is Black Superiority Better Than White Superiority? ⭐️⭐️ November 8, 2022
    Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” ably deals with the death of T’Challa/Black Panther, providing a messy explanation for the succession of leadership and introduces a new African American character and a Latino adversary who is dangerous but not evil. Coogler who is credited with the story and who wrote the screenplay with Joe Robert […] […]
