  • Latino Heritage Month Last Chance October 12, 2019
    National Hispanic Heritage Month officially ends on a Tuesday (Oct. 15), but that doesn’t mean the party has to end for you. John Leguizamo’s Tony nominated show “Latin History for Morons” continues its run at the Ahmanson until Oct. 20 (Sunday) before it heads on to Seattle, Washington, Oakland and Chicago. On Saturday, Oct. 19, […]

  • Diversity in Nineteen Nineteen October 11, 2019
    As an Asian American, it was hard walking through the Huntington Library’s centennial celebratory exhibition, “Nineteen Nineteen.” The curators made an effort for diversity, citing the limitations of the Henry and Arabella Huntington’s interests, they were able to add books referencing African American soldiers returning from World War I and even included th […]

  • ‘Gemini Man’: Double Will Smith Not Worth the Trouble☆☆ October 11, 2019
    Do you remember those Double Mint commercials? They always suggested that twins were double the fun. “Gemini Man” doesn’t actually feature twins, but through the grace of CGI, Will Smith plays both the world’s premiere hitman and his younger clone.  In this action thriller, it’s more double or nothing and we get nothing. I love […]

  • ‘Lucy in the Sky’: Psycho But Not Psychedelic or Good ☆☆ October 11, 2019
    Natalie Portman is the titular “Lucy in the Sky” and her Lucy does have at least the kind of diamond that comes with an engagement and wedding ring, but Lucy’s marital status proves to be of little matter. Her perspective isn’t psychedelic nor does she profess a special love for the Beatles, but her changed […]

  • ‘Joker’: The Porosity of Joaquin Phoenix ☆☆☆☆ October 11, 2019
    How you like this new version “Joker,” depends on how you like your comics. If you like fantasy that departs from reality where a millionaire can be raised by his butler and villains can look like flightless fowl, then you won’t like this version. If you like a sanitized version of the world and don’t […]

  • 6 Things Downton Abbey Teaches Us October 4, 2019
    After watching all six series/seasons of “Downton Abbey” and seeing the film, I learned some surprising things beyond I want to grow old and be feisty as Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham. I sorely miss both Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens) and his spirited, unconventional cousin, Sybil Crawley (Jessica Brown Findlay), but wonder where those […] […]

  • ‘Ad Astra’ and ‘Abominable’ in 4DX September 29, 2019
    If you like the cool comfort of a movie theater and don’t like the long lines and time involved in going to an amusement park, “Ad Astra” and “Abominable” are perfect choices for two different experiences that mimic the best of non-roller coaster amusement park rides. Because my first experience in 4DX was in the […]

  • ‘Abominable’ Is Adorable! ☆☆☆☆☆ September 28, 2019
    If you combined an English sheepdog puppy with a bouncing ball and made it into a 3D animation, the creature at the center of “Abominable” is pretty close to what you’d get. Set in China, this movie is about a young girl resolving her grief over her father’s death by helping a magical creature find […]

  • ‘Judy’: A Star as Trainwreck ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎ September 27, 2019
    On stage at the Ahmanson, Peter Quilter’s play “End of the Rainbow,” is about an outsized personality on a collision course with young corpse-hood, but this version of Judy Garland had been prematurely aged by drugs, lack of sleep and alcohol. She wasn’t leaving a pretty corpse. The cinematic adaptation gives us “Judy” as a […]

  • AMC’s ‘The Terror: Infamy’ Episode 7 ‘My Perfect World’ September 26, 2019
    Logic takes a back seat in what is probably the weakest episode of the season, “My Perfect World.”  This episode is about getting from point A to point B with a few corpses left on the way. While the last episode explained the title of the first episode, “A Sparrow in a Swallow’s Nest,” and […]
