  • ‘Mr. Malcolm’s List’ Review: A Lesser Frothy Romance With Multicultural Casting ⭐️⭐️ July 1, 2022
    I’m a list maker. I make lists in my head, but  I wish wrote them down more often so I wouldn’t forget things. I was dating, I did make a list but that’s now how I actually met my husband. Looking at the titular list, I’d never make the cut because apparently no one worthy […]

  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Does State Assembly Bill 1655 Put Asian Americans at the Back of the Bus? June 27, 2022
    I recently read that State Assembly Bill 1655 would make Juneteenth a paid-state holiday. That doesn’t seem quite right. Juneteenth has little to do with California history and there’s another day that California already recognizes that would seem more representative of state history: Fred Korematsu Day.   Under Mexico, California banned the slavery of Afric […]

  • GO: Last Chance for ‘SW!NG OUT’ June 26, 2022
    Today, Sunday night (5 p.m.) is your last chance to “SW!NG OUT” at the Ahmanson. This two-part program begins inside the Ahmanson where you’ll see some high energy swing dancing from a diverse cast and, at intermission, takes you outside–just around the Mark Taper Forum at the Jerry Moss Plaza to a nice portable dance […]

  • ‘The Black Phone’: Horror in a World Before Cellphones ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ June 26, 2022
    “The Black Phone” is a well-crafted supernatural horror flick, directed by Scott Derrickson from a script he co-wrote with C. Robert Cargill (“the 2012 “Sinister”).  Set in what most of us would like to think is a more innocent time, the film is based on a short story of the same name by Joe Hill. […]

  • Bay Luhrmann’s ‘Elvis’: A Tragedy with Music ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ June 24, 2022
    I don’t love Elvis or Las Vegas, but I always enjoy Baz Lurhmann’s movies for their audiovisual excess. Seeing an all-American story set totally in the US, but filmed in Australia by Sydney-born Luhrmann made me sympathize with singer/actor Elvis Presley brought to life by an amazing Austin Butler (who sings some of the songs […]

  • About Juneteenth: Slavery Didn’t Exactly End… June 21, 2022
    The state of Texas is big and so is it’s influence, but what do we really know about Juneteenth and the end of slavery? Juneteenth commemorates the day that federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to take control according to the government website. President Joe Biden signed Juneteenth into law, making the first federal holiday […]

  • Comic-Con Revolution: Low Key Fun in Ontario June 20, 2022
    We took a long drive to the Ontario Convention Center to see an artist we admired (Travis Hanson) at the Comic-Con Revolution 21-22 May 2022. This is a low-key comic-con where you have time to meet artists–some old and some new.  And you can make your own discoveries. The building is quiet and looks relatively […]

  • ‘Spiderhead’: Sexy Scientist Tale Fail ⭐️⭐️ June 18, 2022
    During my time covering the Caltech beat for the Pasadena Weekly, I met my share of scientists and some have been tall and a few have been sexy, and more than a few have had more socialization issues than the dogs at the Pasadena Humane Society.  Caltech is one of the places I danced Argentine […]

  • GO: ‘King James’ at the Mark Taper Forum June 17, 2022
    Despite one cringe-worthy moment, “King James” at the Mark Taper Forum is an interesting though lightweight contemplation about the kind of friendships built around sports. One might think sports friendships are solely or predominately a male bonding territory, but the play is a good catalyst for re-thinking the different kinds of friendships we form. Althou […]

  • ‘Lightyear’ Is Good Family-Friendly Fun, But Fails on East Asian Diversity ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ June 17, 2022
    Pixar’s “Lightyear” is a triumphant return to the character of Buzz Lightyear (in a different reality),  but after the diversity “Turning Red,” “Lightyear” is a return to a visual binary view of diversity in Black and White. Be sure to stay for the POST-credits scene. This spin-off from the “Toy Story” series, imagines the film […]
