  • Scandalous Dance: ‘Cuties,’ Kids and Dance Culture September 26, 2020
    If you think John Wayne didn’t dance and men only dance to get laid, then you’re too lost in the woods of mistaken machismo to have a valid opinion about the Netflix released French film, “Cuties.” Netflix may have misjudged the American audience because there is a heavy-handed loud-and-proud cultural travesty that frowns upon dance, […]

  • Netflix’s ‘Away’: Season 1 Recap ☆☆☆☆ September 4, 2020
    Netflix’s new series, “Away” tries to show us both the tedium and the temptations of the long-term assignment away from our home base, Earth, with a hop over to moon before a leap to Mars.  Five nations work uneasily together for a three-year mission and this is bound to cause socio-political tension, but other social […]

  • ‘Transplant’: Brown Lead on the Show, Let’s Go! September 4, 2020
    This week, a Canadian medical drama debuting on NBC as the lead-in for “America’s Got Talent” gave viewers a Muslim Syrian refugee doctor as, not the featured guest, but the main character. The 13-episode series, “Transplant,” has already been renewed for a second season and Pakistani Canadian actor Hamza Haq is currently on-hold waiting for […]

  • Mulan Live Action: Non-musical and Not Worth the Money ☆☆ September 4, 2020
    On the week that an Asian group hits the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100, the live-action “Mulan,” after many delays, drops on Disney + September 4 for subscribers who are willing to pay extra cash. Even as a musical, “Mulan” was a troubled depiction of China, and under the direction of Niki […]

  • Bill & Ted Face the Music: A Reminder to Be Excellent August 29, 2020
    “Bill & Ted Face the Music” is an amiable comedy, that might not be excellent, but comes at a good time to remind us that “the best time to be is now” and we should be “excellent to each other.” William “Bill” S. Preston Esquire (Alex Winter) and Theodore “Ted” Logan (Keanu Reeves) should surely […]

  • ‘Grantchester’: A Lack of Faith August 24, 2020
    One is tempted to dismiss the fifth season of “Grantchester” as a calculated romance that dismisses faith in God and a life based on the teaching of the Bible, or, by extension, any holy book, as a quaint, old-fashioned notion. Yet from the beginning, the ITV and PBS Mystery series lacked faith in the formula […]

  • ‘Mr. Jones’: Trees, Journalists and Gareth Jones ☆☆☆ August 15, 2020
    The earnest “Mr. Jones” is filmed in cold, blue, taking us to the dark wooded male-dominated rooms of journalism and jingoism during the jazz age, but outside of the country where jazz was born, England. An ambitious Mr. Jones has just made a name for himself by interviewing Adolf Hitler and now sets his sights […]

  • ‘Brave New World’: Soft Porn and the Peacock August 13, 2020
    In these times of #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, one has to be courageous to take on a science fiction dystopian drama written in 1932. Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” is a product of its times, imagining a homogenous society based in New London after a nine-year war and the Peacock production attempts erase the […]

  • ‘Endeavour’ Season 7: Recap of an Operatic Endeavour August 12, 2020
    Where does a lovelorn British opera fan go to celebrate New Year’s Eve? In Season/Series 7 of “Endeavour,” Morse has taken a two-week holiday to Venice and attend to the opera, “La sposa fedele” or “The Faithful Bride.” We’re plainly told that this season is about love and their will be faithful and unfaithful brides […]

  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Teachers and Race by the Numbers July 30, 2020
    My friend posted this meme. It supposedly asks you to reflect on your life and potential racism, but what does it really mean? The original person who posed this question graduated from Trenton State College in 1962 and went on to the University of Idaho in 1969.  She had never had a black male teacher, […]
