Concert Review: Son Volt at Delmar Hall
By Carla Scuzzo A sellout crowd welcomed Son Volt to Delmar Hall on Saturday night, November 23rd. Jay Farrar was in typical form – quiet and rather sullen. His musical style has not changed much over the years. He continues to preach his religion of political and personal inequities. While he is not generous with […]
Movie Review: ‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,’ Starring; Tom Hanks
Growing up, I didn’t have cable. While other kids got to watch Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, I made do with broadcast channels. Sure, I got my fill of Saturday morning cartoons: Animaniacs, X-Men, and the like. But during the week, especially when I was very young, I ended up watching a lot of PBS. I […]
Movie Review: ‘21 Bridges,’ Starring; Chadwick Boseman
I usually try to open my movie reviews with a fun intro or clever anecdote, but I’m coming up with a complete blank for 21 Bridges. I was pretty excited for this movie. Chadwick Boseman, the Russo brothers producing, and the trailer for the movie made it seem like it’d be a fantastic manhunt thriller. […]
Movie Review: ‘The Irishman,’ Starring; Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino
Martin Scorcese is one of the great American directors. His film resume includes ‘Goodfellas,’ ‘Casino,’ ‘The Departed,’ and ‘Wolf of Wall Street,’ all of which are in my top 10 favorite films of all time. Pair him with Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci and his films are almost guaranteed to be instant classics. The new […]
Movie Review: Frozen 2, Starring: Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel
Ice, ice baby. It’s that time again. It’s been six years since the surprise, Oscar winning hit Frozen was released. Just when you thought you may have gotten far enough away from the earworm that was the film’s anthem, “Let It Go,” the much anticipated Frozen 2 is ice skating it’s way into theaters this weekend for […]
Concert Review: Wilco wows crowd at Fox Theatre
By Bob O’ Mahony and Carla Scuzzo A familiar crowd was warmed up by local legends, the Bottle Rockets, playing the Fox for the first time in some 22 years. The Bottle Rockets were from the same alt-country period of the St. Louis music scene, sometime working, sometimes playing together. They did a well put […]
Theatre Review: Dixie’s Tupperware Party (Playhouse at Westport Plaza)
Dixie Longate, the infamous Tupperware-selling drag persona, is back in St. Louis at The Playhouse at Westport Plaza. The show, which is part comedic event and part actual Tupperware sales, is going on from October 29 through November 24. The show, which is filled with nonstop laughs from beginning to end, is not like any […]
Movie Review: ‘Charlie’s Angels’ Starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, Ella Balinska
The reboot of Charlie’s Angels flies into theatres this weekend, starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, Ella Balinksa as well as writer/director Elizabeth Banks. For those who are trying to configure if the latest film is a reboot or remake of the infamous show from the 70’s or the duology of films released in the early […]
Movie Review: ‘Ford v Ferrari’ Starring Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Jon Bernthal
While the cars in Ford v Ferrari stand out and ultimately rule the road, lead actor Christian Bale is one of the main reasons to see the new film. Bale is seemingly unstoppable and once again he proves that he is without a question, the top actor in Hollywood. Bale stars as Ken Miles, an […]
Movie Review: ‘Midway,’ Starring Mandy Moore, Woody Harrelson
The brave men and women who fought in the battle of Midway, deserved so much better than this run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter, just plain boring Roland Emmerich film. ‘Midway’ is Emmerich’s new war opus, which while retelling the story of World War II’s most decisive battle, seems to take its facts and information straight from a Wikipedia […]
