  • ‘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 […]

  • ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’: A Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Finding Friends ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ July 28, 2026
    “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is an emotionally satisfying action story that introduces a new father-figure for the lonely Peter Parker and shows the emotional toll of being a loner has on Parker and his spider DNA. Under the current presidential administration, the scenes of people being seized by governmental agencies may hit differently, depending upon your […]

  • Considering the Transience of Grief: Hirokazu Koreeda’s ‘Sheep in the Box’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ July 22, 2026
    To fully understand Hirokazu Koreeda’s new science fiction film, “Sheep in the Box” (箱の中の羊), you need to know two things about Japan: Japan is using dolls in interesting ways and Japanese homes have limited storage space is limited. Japan has a growing elderly population and there are companies who make dolls to help people who […]

  • ‘Hadestown’ London 2025: Sung-through Musical Tells Two Greek Myths ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ July 20, 2026
    The Quaker-raised Vermont-born Anaïs Mitchell received a Tony Award for Best Original Score for her Hadestown which, in 2019, won seven more Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

  • ‘Pompeii: Out of Time’: Family-Friendly History with Scientists and Tom Hiddleston⭐️⭐️⭐️ July 20, 2026
    Tom Hiddleston fans won’t be disappointed; they might even be impressed with his academic knowledge. Yet you don’t have to be a Hiddleston fan to appreciate this charming documentary, “Pompeii: Out of Time with Tom Hiddleston,”  about the last day of the city of Pompeii. Scientists estimate that the people had a day to escape […]
