  • ‘Toy Story 4’: What I Do for Love June 13, 2019
    “Toy Story 4” is a beautiful story about love, old friends and new beginnings, loyalty and love again. Toy Story has been Woody’s story, one that has gone on for more years than most toys are lucky to last. Woody has always been motivated by love and sometimes jealously, but always love. For those who enjoyed […]

  • ‘Indecent’: A Play About a Play and Transformative Love ☆☆☆☆☆ June 12, 2019
    While a play about a play might seem an unnecessarily theatrical self-congratulatory affair for actors, “Indecent” is filled with the poignant appeal of lost love and lost lives and yet allows us to celebrate the relatively widespread acceptance of lesbian love to today. Everything is relative and recent news of a homophobic attack on a […]

  • Disneyland’s Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge 4-Hour Reservation Edition June 9, 2019
    If you’re one of the lucky making it into Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland during the reservation period (until June 23), you’ll want to prioritize. There will always be time for shopping and even the only ride now available, but other things have limited space. We went the second weekend on the first shift (Friday, 8-12). […]

  • Cinemax’s ‘Warrior’ Season 1, Episode 10: ‘If You’re Going to Bow, Bow Low’ June 8, 2019
    In the Season 1 finale of Cinemax’s “Warrior,” Ah Sahm makes a choice after reconnecting with two women. Three women end the season in positions of power and responsibility and Ah Sahm gets used to losing. The episode begins after Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji) has already left the care of Ah Toy. A timekeeper walks […]

  • ‘Late Night’ : From Diversity Hire to Savior ☆☆☆ June 7, 2019
    Mindy Kaling really knows how to put herself forward, writing and co-starring in the dramedy about ageism, sexism and the diversity card in the “Late Night” talk show host game. Directed by Nisha Ganatra, “Late Night” is about the only long-running late night talk show hosted by a woman, British ex-pat Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson), […]

  • ‘Dark Phoenix’: Enemies Unknown and a Saga Ends to Begin Again ☆☆ June 5, 2019
    You’re having a posh dinner party in your beautiful country mansion when you wonderful Golden Retriever, Luna, begins barking. You decide to go and investigate…alone, in the dark. I can’t be sure, but you might even be in walking in high heels on long grass. Your dog won’t go beyond a certain point, but you […]

  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Why is Japan’s Superhero Still in White Person’s POV June 1, 2019
    It’s not big news that Godzilla is from Japan and that in Japan, there are a lot of Japanese people. One of weird things about the Legendary Pictures (distributed by Warner Bros) iteration of our green scaly icon is that the screenwriters search for ways to shoehorn white people into the plot. The 2014 “Godzilla” (written […]

  • Cinemax’s ‘Warrior’ Season 1, Episode 9: ‘Chinese Boxing’ June 1, 2019
    In the penultimate episode of Season 1, the “Warrior” will find out just who he is after a death match of “Chinese Boxing.” Ah Sahm’s relationship with the mayor’s wife, Penelope (Joanna Vanderham), will become something of an open secret and Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji) will begin to find purpose as hallucinatory flashbacks reveal Ah […]

  • ‘Always Be My Maybe’: Park and Wong Rom-Com Not a Netflix Must-See May 31, 2019
    “Always Be My Maybe” has fun moments while skewering esoteric gourmet starvation offerings and our favorite Asian American hunks but this rom-com of awkward Asian angst suffers from some tempo and timing decisions under Nahnatchka Khan’s direction. In San Francisco 1996, Sasha Tran (Miya Cech) is a latchkey kid who luckily lives next door to […]

  • ‘Amaluna’ : Unicycling Sisters Satomi and Yuka Sakaino May 31, 2019
    A moment of indecision changed the lives of Satomi and Yuka Sakaino. Born and raised in Kanagawa, and just a barely a year apart in age, the sisters are champion unicyclists by happenstance. The older sister, Satomi (May 21), couldn’t decide what she wanted for her birthday and her father bought her a unicycle. Satomi […]
