Review: T.J. Miller at Helium Comedy Club
Let me preface this review with the skepticism that I possessed upon accepting the assignment to review this show. Many people are more familiar with Miller’s rap sheet than they are his resume. He has been described by many as a rapist, a drunk, a homeless and talentless headcase who calls in fake bomb threats […]
Movie Review: ‘Bumblebee’ Starring Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena, Angela Bassett,
One of the earliest Christmases I can remember, I remember asking for as many Transformers as I could get. I was enamored with the concept of Robots in Disguise and thought they were the greatest thing since macaroni and cheese. When Christmas finally came, I wasn’t disappointed. I spent hours in my basement recreating battles, […]
Movie Review: ‘Aquaman’ Starring Jason Mamoa, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson

Movie Review: ‘Welcome to Marwen’ Starring Steve Carell, Leslie Mann

With Steve Carell […]

Movie Review: ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ Starring Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranda
In Mary Poppins Returns, Emily Blunt is tasked with the impossible – filling the shoes of the legendary Julie Andrews. Based on the popular series of children’s books by P.L. Travers, Disney brought Mary Poppins to life on celluloid in 1964. It was there that Andrews would immortalize that character, and create what would become a film and […]
