Weekend in Review: Dragon Con 2024
Another Dragon Con in the books! Despite this being our sixth year attending, it still managed to hold a ton of firsts for the Calamity Crew. In that spirit, I’ve decided to switch things up with the format of this recap. Instead of my daily adventures, I want to break down the main aspects of […]
Movie Review: ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder
It’s been 20 years since director Tim Burton put out a good film. I’m proud to say that the 20-year drought is finally over with the new, and albeit unnecessary, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. First, I’ll start with the good. Michael Keaton reprises one of his career-defining roles as the ghost with the most, Beetlejuice. Keaton is […]
Movie Review: BLINK TWICE, Starring Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie
Zoë Kravitz directorial debut is nothing short of phenomenal. Kravitz new film, Blink Twice, channels the same vibes as Jordan Peele’s masterpiece Get Out. If you feel uncomfortable watching the film, yet enjoy it at the same time, don’t feel bad, that’s the point. In Blink Twice, Kravitz tackles gender inequality, White Privilege, #MeToo, and […]
Concert Review: Wang Chung Brings Big Sounds To The Intimate City Winery
The proliferation of ‘80s bands making the concert rounds has intensified over the last decade. As a result, countless artists with a commercial hit to their name during the 1980s have cashed in on the nostalgia gravy train.

Movie Review: ‘Road House’, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor McGregor
While the original ‘Road House’ is far from a classic film, it’s still hailed as a fun, ridiculous action movie, that was perfect for the 80’s. Decades later, Hollywood decided to give the film a much unneeded remake. Just like the original, this version features a ridiculous, paper-thin plot, but the outcome is still a […]
Movie Review: Arthur the King, starring Mark Wahlberg, Bear Grylls
Arthur the King is one of those feel-good movies. The film, which is based on a true story, tells the remarkable tale of a Mikael Lindnord’s bond with stray dog, Arthur. Lindnord’s 2016 memoir is the basis for the film, starring Mark Wahlberg. Wahlberg, as usual, turns in a strong and quite believable performance as Mikael, […]
Movie Review: DUNE: PART TWO Starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh
Someone get me a Dune popcorn bucket. Oh, that has nothing to do with my review; they just didn’t have any at the screening I attended. Thanks to his seminal work in the last 11-12 years, director Denis Villeneuve has established himself as one of the top directors of his generation. If you look at […]
Movie Review: The Evocative CHAPERONE Screens at Slamdance 2024

First, it features an entirely Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander cast, led by Misha-Mitzi Akaha and Jake-Laird Akeo in leading roles. Second, the movie builds its plot around an illicit love affair between and older woman and […]
