Movie Review: ‘Beast,’ starring Idris Elba, Leah Jeffries
Idris Elba’s newest thriller, ‘Beast,’ has all the makings of a thrilling B-movie. It’s just a shame that it’s not that good. The plot is paper thin and predictable, perfect for a summer movie-goer. Elba plays a widowed father coming to terms with the death of his wife while trying to protect his two daughters […]

Movie Review: BULLET TRAIN Starring Brad Pitt, Joey King, Brian Tyree Henry, Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Some people avoid movie trailers. [Editor: I feel attacked] It’s not an entirely unreasonable decision; trailers can often spoil the plot or give away too many clues (see: Terminator 2). Once that happens, the enjoyment of a movie can be ruined. I, on the other hand, tend to enjoy trailers. If it’s a movie that […]
Laughter and Lust Propel Union Avenue Opera’s FALSTAFF (Review)
Hosting a 28th season dominated by excellent performances, Union Avenue Opera’s second production, Falstaff may be the strongest of the bunch. Written when he was almost 80, Verdi’s comedic opera is a pared-down version of The Merry Wives of Windsor amended with scenes from Henry IV, Part 1, and Part 2 for dramatic heft and […]
Movie Review: VENGEANCE Starring B.J. Novak, Isabella Amara, Nathaniel Augustson
Typically when I write a review, I’ll use a personal anecdote or try and come up with some witty or clever (or at least something I think is witty or clever) intro to draw people in. I haven’t been fired yet, so It works, I guess. I haven’t been able to do that with Vengeance, […]

Movie Review: ‘Nope,’ starring Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer
Director Jordan Peele is three-for-three. His latest horror venture, “Nope,” is a slight departure from his previous two films, “Us,” and “Get Out.” Academy Award winner Daniel Kaluuya stars along with Keke Palmer as siblings who own and operate Hollywood’s only Black-owned horse ranch. Both are perfect in their roles. While Kaluuya is softer spoken […]

Movie Review: WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Taylor John Smith, Harris Dickinson
Back in grade school, I remember during one of our English classes, we had to take a chapter from a book (pretty sure it was Where the Red Fern Grows) and act it out in class. I don’t remember the exact scene I chose, but I remember that in order to condense the chapter down […]
