Something I’ve been told lately by professionals in the media industry is to be “unpredictable.” This is one of the highlights of ‘The Dinner Party,’ directed by Jenna Ushkowitz and written by Penelope Lawson.

‘The Cursed’ Movie Review: See the haunting thriller this week
A lot of times horror films either go all out on the supernatural or all out on the gore. Directed by Sean Ellis, ‘The Cursed’ gives viewers a good amount of both. Starring Boyd Holbrook, Kelly Reilly and Alistair Petrie, ‘The Cursed’ is set in France during the late 1800s. “A once-peaceful remote country villageContinue reading “‘The Cursed’ Movie Review: See the haunting thriller this week”
The magic of Estes Park, why you need to travel here
It’s one of those “get to know you” questions. “Beaches or mountains?” My answer is “both.” While I love the beaches of Florida and South Carolina, that’s nothing like being in the mountains of Colorado. Specifically, Estes Park. As a kid, my family and I traveled to Estes Park fairly often. We’d all pack upContinue reading “The magic of Estes Park, why you need to travel here”

An inside look at the one-take horror film, ‘Those Who Walk Away’
Most films I review, I have no personal connection to. ‘Those Who Walk Away’ is a different story. In 2019, I heard that an “LA film crew” was in central Illinois, where I live & work. I always considered myself a film aficionado so I thought “this could be a news story.” I got connectedContinue reading “An inside look at the one-take horror film, ‘Those Who Walk Away’”
Obi-Wan Kenobi series debuting May 25 on Disney Plus
The time has finally come. Star Wars broke the news just before 4:00 p.m. (CT) Wednesday with a photo of Obi-Wan walking through the desert. Ironically for me, I tweeted out earlier in the day that I was tired of seeing fan-made edits of the cover art, and Star Wars decides to drop this.

Why St. Louis is not a ‘dying city’
Too many times I’ve heard people tell me “St. Louis is a dying city.” Nearly every time it’s by people who have never even been there, or who have only passed through. So I want you to hear it from someone born and raised in STL of what the city has to offer. Historic Sports:Continue reading “Why St. Louis is not a ‘dying city’”
The calls to #RestoretheSnyderverse live on
I’ve never seen a fanbase so driven to make a movie happen. In 2017, the original Justice League film was released. To be honest, I think we all know how that went.
