Review: Raleigh Supercon 2017
Before I delve into the amazing splendor that was Raleigh Supercon, I must give a shout out to my North Carolina con-family: Jenn (Jenna Say What???), Jenny (Goth Mama Cosplay), Stormy (Tiny Villain Cosplay), and Kayla (Travelin’ Chui). You are some of the most kind, wonderful, and sweet people I’ve ever met and I want […]

Review: Christopher Nolan’s DUNKIRK
There is plenty to admire about the film, particularly on its technical level. Shot on 70mm film, the gorgeous cinematography captures highly realistic battle sequences by sea, air and land. The special effects department takes a cue from Mad Max: Fury Road, using practical effects as often as possible, which opens the imagination to how some […]
Review: ‘Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets’ Starring Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne
When the first trailer dropped for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, I was captivated by the imagery – and believed this film could very well be quite the spectacle upon its release in July. Written and directed by Luc Besson (the visionary behind the cult classic film The Fifth Element), my interest […]

Aquabats! Delight at Delmar Hall
I was not prepared for what I had entered into when I walked into Delmar Hall. In jean shorts and a tank top, I was completely underdressed for The Aquabats! show in St. Louis, Wednesday, July 15. Adults and children alike who packed into the Hall were decked out in full Aquabats! costumes, gear, or […]
Aesop Rock Impresses at Delmar Hall
Delmar Hall hosted Aesop Rock, along with Rob Sonic and DJ Zone, Tuesday, July 11. Rock stuck with Open Mike Eagle as his one opener, a solid stylistic choice that proved to lend a smooth transition between the two acts. Eagle stood as one man, with one microphone, and one computer. I was curious to […]
Review: Third Eye Blind Heats up Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre
It’s been 20 years since Third Eye Blind’s debut album. On Tuesday night, the band played the entire album from front to back for fans. Call it nostalgia or whatever you want, but the band still sounds as good now as it did 20 years ago. Lead singer Stephen Jenkins has improved vocally throughout the […]
