Opinion: The Curious Case of CM Punk
Of all the interesting outcomes from this weekend’s stellar UFC 225 card, the one thing I continue to think about is what will happen with CM Punk?

Review: ‘Hotel Artemis’ Starring Jodie Foster, Sterling K. Brown, Sofia Boutella
“This trailer looks like John Wick 2.5.” At least, that was my first impression after seeing the trailer for Hotel Artemis. Can you blame me, though?

Review: ‘Hereditary’ Starring Toni Collette, Milly Shapiro, Gabriel Byrne
It’s been a week since I’ve seen Hereditary, and I cannot stop thinking about it. I also can’t wait to see it again. It’s the kind of film that leaves an imprint on the viewer and I don’t think I’ll be forgetting about it for quite some time. Some scenes, I might not ever forget. […]

Movie Review: ‘Ocean’s 8’ Starring Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Rihanna
I have to admit, as a fan of the previous three Ocean’s films (11 and 13, most notably), I didn’t have very high hopes for Ocean’s 8 when it was first announced. It wasn’t because I didn’t think an all-female ensemble could pull off a heist movie of Ocean’s 11 calibre (believe me, they mostly do), but more so the fact that it […]
Concert Review: Cracker at Delmar Hall
Rock/Country band Cracker made a stop at Delmar Hall on Saturday night. The band treated their fans to a 90-minute set comprised of hits and songs that are popular among the fanbase.
