Movie Review: CATS Starring Francesca Hayward, Idris Elba, Judi Dench
Where to start with this trainwreck? From the moment the first trailer dropped for Cats, the internet was ready to pounce. And this time, rightfully so. Lovers of Broadway and musicals alike thought it couldn’t be as bad as the trailers looked. Surely there has to be something more than creepy CGI cats with human faces and […]
Movie Review: ‘Jumanji: The Next Level’ Starring; Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black
I will admit that when I heard a sequel was being developed to the beloved 1995 Robin Williams classic, “Jumanji,” I was skeptical. Luckily, a great cast featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jack Black, and Kevin Hart, along with a great script, carried the film to a $1 billion global box office haul. So, it […]

Concert Review: Son Volt at Delmar Hall
By Carla Scuzzo A sellout crowd welcomed Son Volt to Delmar Hall on Saturday night, November 23rd. Jay Farrar was in typical form – quiet and rather sullen. His musical style has not changed much over the years. He continues to preach his religion of political and personal inequities. While he is not generous with […]
Movie Review: ‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,’ Starring; Tom Hanks
Growing up, I didn’t have cable. While other kids got to watch Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, I made do with broadcast channels. Sure, I got my fill of Saturday morning cartoons: Animaniacs, X-Men, and the like. But during the week, especially when I was very young, I ended up watching a lot of PBS. I […]
Movie Review: ‘21 Bridges,’ Starring; Chadwick Boseman
I usually try to open my movie reviews with a fun intro or clever anecdote, but I’m coming up with a complete blank for 21 Bridges. I was pretty excited for this movie. Chadwick Boseman, the Russo brothers producing, and the trailer for the movie made it seem like it’d be a fantastic manhunt thriller. […]
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 […]
Movie Review: Frozen 2, Starring: Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel
Ice, ice baby. It’s that time again. It’s been six years since the surprise, Oscar winning hit Frozen was released. Just when you thought you may have gotten far enough away from the earworm that was the film’s anthem, “Let It Go,” the much anticipated Frozen 2 is ice skating it’s way into theaters this weekend for […]
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 […]
