  • Japan’s Hashimoto Daiki Takes All-Around Gymnastics Gold with Controversy July 30, 2021
    The 19-year-old Hashimoto Daiki (橋本 大輝) took the men’s all-around Olympic Gold on Wednesday morning, becoming the youngest all-around men’s winner in Olympic history. He already had a team silver. He previously won a bronze at the 2019 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. China’s Xiao Ruoteng (肖若腾) took silver and ROC Nikita Nagorny […]

  • ‘Jungle Cruise’ Corrects Course with PC Awareness ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎ July 30, 2021
    “Jungle Cruise” is a charming, low-key family adventure film that strives and mostly succeeds in making a politically correct journey down the Amazon, coming out two weeks after Disneyland opened its revamped ride of the same name. Two-fer Dwayne Johnson addresses diversity as both Black and Pacific Islander while his co-star, Emily Blunt, continues the […] […]

  • Olympic 2020/2021 Gymnastics Team Finals July 28, 2021
    With the withdrawal of US female gymnast Simone Biles and the inelegant retirement of legendary Japanese male gymnast Kōhei Uchimura, 32, the men’s and women’s team finals had a few surprises. Two Asian Americans–Yul Moldauer and Sunisa Lee, head for individual apparatus finals this weekend with Lee competing tomorrow (Thursday) for all-around. Seven-time Ol […]

  • Roadrunner: Ethics and Ethos ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎ July 24, 2021
    During the week that “Space Jam: A New Legacy” opened, it was hard to think of “Roadrunner” without thinking of the beep-beep and the pursuit by one Wile E. Coyote. “Roadrunner” is a documentary that feels the need to explain its title, making it “Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain.” That’s not promising, but there […]

  • ‘Die in a Gunfight’ Dead After Promising Opening Sequence ⭐︎⭐︎ July 24, 2021
    Collin Schiffli’s version of “Romeo and Juliet” has a lot of style and even an actress who might remind you of Claire Danes in the Juliet role, but despite a stylish start, and lovely atmospheric lighting, the film “Die in a Gunfight” falters almost immediately and goes from an edgy mix of animation and live-action […]

  • ‘Old’: Diversity and Death But Ultimately Time Wasted ⭐︎⭐︎ July 23, 2021
    Old age isn’t for sissies, but sissies have nothing to fear except boredom when watching M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film, “Old.” Inspired by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters’ Swiss graphic novel, “Sandcastle,” this film has some touching moments, but also veers into misogyny and tedious exposition. Prisca (Vicky Krieps) has found this fantastic tropic […]

  • ‘Snake Eyes’: Wins and Losses ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎ July 22, 2021
    A German director might seem like an odd choice for an installment of Hasbro’s G.I. Joe franchise, yet director Robert Schwentke (“The Time Traveler’s Wife” in 2009 and “The Divergent Series: Insurgent” in 2015 and “The Divergent Series: Allegiant” in 2016) takes the reboot of “Snake Eyes” into a loud, unapologetically violent vehicle that is […] […]

  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Fact-checking Islamophobes July 15, 2021
    I expect to be blocked again and by someone I once danced with. However, truth should matter. I don’t know where the person found this meme, but the extent of his prejudice should be obvious. I do not read Arabic or Farsi. I was able to find two of the sources used for this meme. […]

  • ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ Is LaBron and Laker Time ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎ July 14, 2021
    The premiere of “Space Jam: A New Legacy” was a family affair at X-Box Plaza for the pre-screening party with carnival games, a dunk competition and a Salt-N-Pepa concert before people filled up a few theaters at the Regal LA Live to see LeBron James team up with Bugs Bunny and pals. I didn’t get […]

  • ‘Space Jam’ Is a Journey to the Jordan Past ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎ July 14, 2021
    In 1995, Michael Jordan had just quit baseball and announced he was returning to basketball in March. He had been away from the NBA for 18 months and took the court with the Chicago Bulls against the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis, scoring 19 points. He suited up in his No. 23 and would lead the Bulls to their […]
