  • ‘Tales from the Loop’ Examines Love Within a Mysterious World ☆☆☆☆ March 27, 2020
    Writer Nathaniel Halpern (“Legion”) takes inspiration from Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag’s 2014 “Tales from the Loop,” a book of futuristic digital images and transfers the action from Sweden to a fictional Midwestern American town, Mercer, Ohio. From the three episodes I previewed, the pensive tales explores different facets of love in a small town where a […]

  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Say No to #ChineseVirus March 19, 2020
    With Donald Trump repeatedly using the term “Chinese virus,” and people rising to defend him, I feel compelled to write a detailed explanation about why we should not use terms like Chinese Virus, Chinese Flu or even Kung Flu. Many people are referring to a specific article, but fail to see the differences.  Influenza or […]

  • ‘Charlie’s Angel’ DVD/Blu-Ray Review ☆☆ March 19, 2020
    The best parts of the “Charlie’s Angels” reboot are the cameos, but let’s be honest, while in the beginning “Charlie’s Angels” as an episodic TV show did point out a real concern for police women, it was mostly about fashion models looking fantastic during cream puff crimes. “Charlie’s Angels” was always about looks over substance. […]

  • Agatha Christie’s ‘The Pale Horse’ on Amazon Prime ☆☆☆☆ March 15, 2020
    What do you do when your beloved wife commits suicide? The year is 1960 in the village of Much Deeping, Surrey. Mark Easterbrook’s wife, Delphine (Georgina Campbell),  sees a fortune-telling modern witch threesome, asking “Am I going to make Mark happy?” She, a light-skinned black woman dies, electrocuted in a bathtub. Her husband Mark Easterbrook […] […]

  • Entertaining Parody ‘The Hunt’ Pits Deplorables Against Liberal Elite ☆☆☆ March 11, 2020
    The premise of “The Hunt” isn’t new. Even if you haven’t read Richard Connell’s 1924 short story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” you’ve probably been exposed to the themes of man being hunted by man. This script by Nick Cuse and Damon Lindelof gives a humorously horrific twist and under the direction of of Craig Zobel […]

  • ‘Onward’ to Adventure ☆☆☆☆ February 29, 2020
    I lost my father in middle school, but it seems I had lost him long before that due to the debilitating nature of his illness (Multiple Sclerosis). His words became an indistinguishable mumble–neither familiar in its tone nor accent. His once beautiful writing became an illegible scrawl. His insistence on familial traditions faded away.  Then […]

  • ‘The Invisible Man’ and the Hysterical Woman ☆☆☆☆ February 27, 2020
    There was a day in court that I realized my attorney had never believed me. My alleged stalker claimed to be attending USC and had requested through his attorney my schedule of classes so that he could abide by the terms of our “mutual” restraining orders. My attorney chided me for refusing. I went home, […]

  • ‘My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising’: Young Heroes on Duty ☆☆☆ February 27, 2020
    In the second feature length film based popular “My Hero Academia” manga by Kōhei Horioshi, the young high school heroes get a chance to prove themselves by taking charge of hero work on a small island. Even if you’re unfamiliar with the series, you’ll have fun, especially if you get the flash, foam snow and […]

  • Nightline Producer Emily Taguchi Follows Life ‘After Parkland’ February 23, 2020
    Two years ago, Nightline producers Emily Taguchi and Jake Lefferman headed down to Parkland, Florida for a news event that would take them on a different journey–into the homes of heartbroken families and finally to film festivals to share a non-partisan message about the ripple effects that one act of violence can have. Taguchi and […]

  • Nao Yoshida in a ‘Volta’ Daydream February 23, 2020
    A sport that Nao Yoshida initially took up on a whim has landed him a featured segment during the first act of “Volta,” a Cirque du Soleil show. “Volta” is about the inner journey to find one’s true self and be loud and proud about it. Yoshida, a Japanese bicycle dance artist, plays the younger […]
