  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Pompeii Erotic Art, Myths and Rape Culture May 25, 2022
    As a freshman college student, I found I raged against art history for its inherent racism and sexism. I was not then a writer although I obviously did write and was required to write for my courses. I was determined to be an artist, particularly because I could recall a moment in Balboa Park during […]

  • ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Flies High ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ May 25, 2022
    The day before I saw “Top Gun: Maverick,” I realized that all of my fond memories of the original film “Top Gun,” were based on the Kenny Loggins official video for “Danger Zone.” “Top Gun: Maverick” is an action flick, better and less testosterone-driven than the first and veering much more into the improbable territory […]

  • ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’: Meta-Nick Cage Is Meta Fun ⭐️⭐️⭐️ May 12, 2022
    Brush up on your Nicolas Cage knowledge before you buckle in for this roller coaster ride of name-dropping, double-dealing, doppelgänger loaded hilarity that half-way through becomes a buddy action flick. There’s not one Nicolas Cage, but at least two if you don’t include the grotesque gun-toting mannequin. Written by the supervising producer of the TV […] […]

  • ‘Downton Abbey: A New Era’ Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️ May 12, 2022
    When “Downton Abbey” first aired, I wasn’t watching. It was blog entry by Roger Ebert that piqued my interest. Since then, I have watched all six season, bought the complete collection and even added two teddy bears (Violet and Cora). I, of course, saw the 2019 film and so seeing  this film, “Downton Abbey: A […]

  • GO: ‘Hadestown’ at the Ahmanson May 8, 2022
    If you’re in the mood for some bluesy music and a tragic love story, the Tony Award-winning “Hadestown” may be your jam. This is a rape-free re-telling of the Orpheus-Eurydice legend in the time of the speakeasy and the Great Depression. With music, lyrics and books by Anaïs Mitchell, “Hadestown” premiered in Barre, Vermont in […]

  • ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ Still Bound to Make Some Asians Mad⭐️⭐️ May 3, 2022
    In this cycle of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the souls of the damned binary view of diversity threaten “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”  despite obvious efforts to make up for the fiasco that was “Doctor Strange.” If you’ve seen the animated Disney+ series “What If…” and “WandaVision,” you’ll have some idea how Multiverse […] […]

  • GO: Lee Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse April 29, 2022
    If you’re interested in fashion, fantasy and films, you must visit the LACMA exhibit, “Lee Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse.” You don’t even have to like McQueen’s style. The exhibit isn’t all about McQueen’s creations, but also includes objects that inspired his fashions and footwear, headwear and music inspired by McQueen.  That means you’ll want […] […]

  • ‘White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie and Fitch’: Hot on the Trail with Lukewarm Results⭐️⭐️ April 24, 2022
    While I did somehow come into possession of an Abercrombie and Fitch shopping bag, I was never under the Abercrombie & Fitch spell. And that must mean something because during the 1990s and even prior to that, I spent a lot of time at malls. I have worked retail at boutique and even a major […]

  • ‘Paris, 13th District’ Teeters on the Edge of the Male Gaze and Oriental Fetish ⭐️⭐️ April 21, 2022
    This beautifully shot black-and-white French film “Les Olympiades, Paris 13e” or “Paris 13th District,”  is an episodic tale of about lust and love amongst the young and beautiful singles in Paris. It comes to Los Angeles at a time when a certain director (Paul Verhoeven ) has complained about Hollywood puritanism and I have just had […]

  • GO: ‘Blues for an Alabama Sky’: Dreams, Cities and Relationships April 21, 2022
    Five characters collide in Harlem during the 1930s and although they have big dreams, not all of those hopes will be realized in Pearl Cleage’s “Blues for an Alabama Sky.”  Under the direction of Phylicia Rashad,  this is a lusty, lustrous production at the Mark Taper Forum in Downtown Los Angeles that reminds us of […]
