Movie Review: ‘The Irishman,’ Starring; Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino
Martin Scorcese is one of the great American directors. His film resume includes ‘Goodfellas,’ ‘Casino,’ ‘The Departed,’ and ‘Wolf of Wall Street,’ all of which are in my top 10 favorite films of all time. Pair him with Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci and his films are almost guaranteed to be instant classics. The new […]
Concert Review: Wilco wows crowd at Fox Theatre
By Bob O’ Mahony and Carla Scuzzo A familiar crowd was warmed up by local legends, the Bottle Rockets, playing the Fox for the first time in some 22 years. The Bottle Rockets were from the same alt-country period of the St. Louis music scene, sometime working, sometimes playing together. They did a well put […]
Movie Review: ‘Ford v Ferrari’ Starring Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Jon Bernthal
While the cars in Ford v Ferrari stand out and ultimately rule the road, lead actor Christian Bale is one of the main reasons to see the new film. Bale is seemingly unstoppable and once again he proves that he is without a question, the top actor in Hollywood. Bale stars as Ken Miles, an […]
Movie Review: ‘Midway,’ Starring Mandy Moore, Woody Harrelson
The brave men and women who fought in the battle of Midway, deserved so much better than this run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter, just plain boring Roland Emmerich film. ‘Midway’ is Emmerich’s new war opus, which while retelling the story of World War II’s most decisive battle, seems to take its facts and information straight from a Wikipedia […]
Movie Review: ‘Doctor Sleep’ Starring: Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson

Movie Review: ‘Gemini Man,’ Starring Will Smith
Will Smith’s new flick ‘Gemini Man’ has everything needed for an effective action movie; a believable leading man, a great director, a formulaic plot, and big fight scenes. The only problem is ‘Gemini Man’ just isn’t very good. Director Ang Lee, known for his much superior ‘Brokeback Mountain,’ relies on new movie technology and hopes […]
Concert Review: Tyler the Creator at Chaifetz Arena
By Hannah Bodenhausen Tyler the Creator returned to St. Louis on Friday to play songs from his fifth album, “IGOR” for a crowd of screaming fans. The crowd, for the most part, was undeniably young.

Movie Review: 3 From Hell, Starring; Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon Zombie, Richard Brake
First off, “3 From Hell,” is a very difficult movie to enjoy. Not because it’s not well made, but because it’s just that devious. Director Rob Zombie was thought to have left the Firefly Family for dead in “The Devil’s Rejects,” but alas the trio managed to survive the onslaught of bullets at the end […]
