Movie Review: ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh
I have nobody to blame but myself for seeing Crazy Rich Asians. When I first saw the trailer, I made a joke to my editor about how I’d probably be the one ReviewSTL asked to review it since I am, in fact, Asian. Didn’t think anything of it. Surely they’ll find someone to cover it. […]

Magic: the Gathering Comes Home to Gen Con for 25th Birthday
On August 19th, 1993, the collectible card game Magic: the Gathering was introduced at longstanding gaming festival Gen Con in Geneva, Wisconsin.

Concert Review: El Monstero at Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre
The night all of Saint Louis was patiently waiting for since their winter show at The Pageant had finally arrived; El Monstero and Here Come the Mummies were here to perform at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater.

Videogame Review: ‘We Happy Few’ Out Now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One!
A game of paranoia and survival, in a drugged-out, dystopian English city in 1964. That is how Compulsion Games, the developer of We Happy Few, describes their latest game on their website. To put it in even more relatable terms, imagine a cross between Borderlands, Bioshock, A Clockwork Orange – and one of many survival games like Rust. I can see […]

Movie Review: ‘The Meg’ Starring Jason Statham
Frantic and humorous, The MEG is the best marine biology documentary this side of Finding Nemo. Before I was old enough to start kindergarten, both of my parents worked, so I spent most of my days at a daycare that one of my mom’s friends ran. We basically just sat around and played with her […]

We have to climb those mountains for ultimate fulfilment” I thought this line spoken toward the end of the new documentary, Far From the Tree, perfectly encapsulated the meaning and message of the film. This line is spoken by Andrew Solomon’s father during a […]
