Theatre Review: ‘Anastasia’
The performances, however, won’t be the only thing you’ll be talking about after the show. The physical set, which is basically just an arch, is benefited by multiple on-stage projections
Movie Review: Joaquin Phoenix in ‘Joker’
Joker isn’t one of those films where you leave the theater energized. You’re beaten down and exhausted. But for a film to have that effect on you these days is quite a feat.
Movie Review: Renee Zellweger in ‘Judy’
The film lives and breathes on Zellwegger’s excellent work and all the praise she’s getting is absolutely deserved.
Movie Review: ‘Downton Abbey’
For anyone who watched every episode of every season of Downton Abbey, the new film will be like a warm, comfortable blanket that you pulled out of storage.
Movie Review: ‘The Goldfinch’
The cast is great. Jeffrey Wright as Hobie has a short monologue about restoring furniture and it’s honestly the best thing in the film.
Documentary Review: ‘Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice’
Even with the rose-colored lense of the film, it’s a swoony remembrance of how huge a star Linda Ronstadt was and how her voice was one for the ages.
Movie Review: ‘Before You Know It’
With a note perfect cast, quick-witted script and direction to match, Before You Know It, Hannah Pearl Utt’s marks a terrific directorial debut.
Review: ‘It Chapter Two’
The film benefits from the wonderful cast and the cameo from some guy named Stephen King.
Review: ‘Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles’
For fans of Broadway, in lieu of actually going to see a performance, there really isn’t a better way of spending an evening than catching this film.
Movie Review: ‘The Quiet One’
The documentary’s title refers to Wyman’s role in the Rolling Stones, where he served as a quiet on-stage presence as compared to the antics of Richards and Jagger.
Theatre Review: ‘Fiddler on the Roof’
Fiddler on the Roof, one of the greatest musical ever written, has come to town and it’s definitely worth checking out.
Theatre Review: ‘Charlie & The Chocolate Factory’
Bring the kids because they’ll love the show! But just be sure to have a bag of Everlasting Gobstoppers for the drive home.
Movie Review: ‘Avengers: Endgame’
What is arguably one of the greatest movie franchises in history has come to an end. And wow, what an ending it is.
Theatre Review: ‘Cats’
‘Cats’, which is now on tour, has some terrific musical numbers and an outstanding performance by Keri Rene Fuller, who plays Grizabella.
Movie Review: ‘Shazam!’
As Shazam, Zachary Levi is goofiness and super-hero rolled into one. Think of him as Tom Hanks’ Big character if he were given an extraordinary powers.
Movie Review: Tim Burton’s ‘Dumbo’
When Dumbo is good, it’s very good, sweet, and charming. In fact, the part of the film that will give you all the feels is when we first see Dumbo fly.
Movie Review: Jordan Peele’s ‘Us’
From the casting, screenplay and the “Holy Crap!” final scene of ‘Us’, Jordan Peele has quickly turned into a director who’s a must-watch.
Movie Review: M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Glass’
The film is more graphic novel than pure comic book. Writer/director M. Night Shyamalan wants to deal with what it’s like to be a human with super abilities and its effects on the world at large.
Theatre Review: Betty Buckley in ‘Hello, Dolly!’
When Buckley descends the staircase for Hello, Dolly!, it’s a nice moment, combining musical theatre royalty with one of the classic musical theatre songs.
Movie Review: ‘Aquaman’
Aquaman boasts a terrific cast, great director and a couple of great action scenes. What it does not have, like most DC movies, is a good script.
