He also wrote and directed Sex Drive, Horrible Bosses 2, Daddy’s Home (as well as the sequel), and now – Instant […]
Theatre Review: Disney’s ‘Aladdin’ Grants All Our Wishes at The Fabulous Fox!
Like most people living today, I grew up a child of Disney. My VHS copy of 1992’s Aladdin was no stranger to the VCR, and the film remains one of my favorite animated features to this day. So it goes without saying that a stage adaptation of the beloved classic had a lot to live up […]
Movie Review: ‘Instant Family’ Starring Mark Wahlberg, Rose Byrne, Isabela Moner
Based on the real-life experiences of director Sean Anders (Daddy’s Home, Horrible Bosses 2), Instant Family explores the world of adoption in a way we’ve never seen before. As to be expected, there are plenty of laughs with a cast that includes Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne – but there is also an overwhelming amount of heart. Pete […]
Movie Review: ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’ Starring Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler
Fantastic Disappointment: The Crimes of Warner Bros. As I, almost shamefully, revealed in my review of 2016’s Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, I have not taken many advantages of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World. I saw Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone, but never continued watching the series. I read the first 15 pages […]
Movie Review: ‘Widows’ Starring Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki
Widows is Steve McQueen’s first film back in the director’s seat after his 2013 Best Picture winning film 12 Years a Slave. The film stars the always fantastic Viola Davis as Veronica Rawlins, a widow left with a two million dollar debt to some gangsters after a botched job by her career criminal husband (Liam […]
Interview: The Faim To Visit Fubar
Calling all pop-punk, alternative, and rock lovers: The Faim, an Australian group originally created in the small town of Perth, will be playing Fubar in Saint Louis this Saturday, November 17th, alongside Hands Like Houses. With the way modern-day music can be, it’s sometimes a bit questionable as to whether or not these “pop-punk/rock” groups […]
Concert Review: Aubrey and Three Migos Live!
Review By: Matthew Kistner Photos By: Reema Shah I don’t know what you were doing Saturday, November 10, but I was among a crowd of 18,000 at Enterprise Center as the Aubrey and the Three Migos Live! Tour rolled through and gave fans a show they soon won’t forget. After opening act Roy Woods hyped […]
Movie Review: ‘Outlaw King’ Starring Chris Pine, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Rebecca Robin
Outlaw King is a Netflix produced film directed by David MacKenzie (Hell or High Water) and stars Chris Pine as Robert the Bruce, a Scottish nobleman turned outlaw who rallies to acquire the Scottish crown and lead his people to victory over the reigning King Edward I of England (Stephen Dillane). In large part, I […]
Movie Review: ‘The Girl in the Spider’s Web’ Starring Claire Foy, Sverrir Gudnason
Leave it to Hollywood to make another unnecessary film. That’s the feeling I got while watching The Girl in the Spider’s Web. It’s just not needed. The franchise adapted from Stieg Larsson’s best-selling novels has not fared as well in Hollywood, as the films have failed to bring in the big bucks that studio executives had […]
Movie Review: DR. SEUSS’ THE GRINCH Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Cameron Seely, Rashida Jones
In 1966, the Dr. Seuss-penned children’s book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! was adapted into a half-hour television special which later became a holiday classic. For thirty-four years, it was a staple of holiday programming (and still is) and the only adaptation of the book until a live-action feature-length version of the film starring Jim […]
