Review: Opera Theatre of Saint Louis Closes The Season with the Heavenly Galileo Galilei
Audiences are being blinded with science by Opera Theatre of Saint Louis’ stunning Galileo Galilei. Closing its 49th season, this company debut explores the dichotomy between science and theology through the life of Galileo, a visionary who challenged the churchy science of the 17th century and paved the way for modern astronomy.

Movie Review: EVIL DEAD RISE Starring Alyssa Sutherland, Lily Sullivan, Morgan Davies
The deadites are back! And this time, they’ve infiltrated a high-rise apartment in the cityscape.

Movie Review: A MAN CALLED OTTO Starring Tom Hanks, John Higgins, Tony Bingham
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: grumpy old person turns beloved neighbor and family member after opening up to their neighbors. It’s nothing original, yet if done well enough, keeps people coming back for more. And so it is with A Man Called Otto, in itself a remake of A Man Called Ove, […]
Movie Review: MASS Starring Martha Plimpton, Jason Isaacs, Reed Birney, Ann Dowd
Confronting the uncomfortable, four actors deliver tour de force performances in this emotionally charged chamber piece.

Welcome to JURASSIC WORLD: CAMP CRETACEOUS, the New Netflix Show
One of my favorite movies of all time is Steven Spielberg’s 1993 larger-than-life dinosaur adventure, Jurassic Park. The adaptation of Michael Crichton’s novel is thrilling, scary, and action-packed from beginning to end. The idea of returning to this world is exciting, and it all started with the 2015 blockbuster Jurassic World starring Chris Pratt and […]
