Bring It On: The Musical – Theatre Review, Spotlight Youth Theatre, Glendale
At first glance, staging the energetic and demanding Bring It On: The Musical at Spotlight Youth Theatre in Glendale seems overly ambitious. The choreography is both tough and challenging, the energy required is non-stop, plus the demands of its staging require a taller and wider platform than the one Spotlight can offer. But look closer.

Mother’s Day – Film Review
Similar to the formula used in his two previous, warm-hearted comedies, Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve, Garry Marshall’s Mother’s Day is an ensemble, romantic comedy populated by attractive characters with overlapping conflicts.

The Huntsman: Winter’s War – Film Review
One of the odd things about the 2012 fantasy adventure Snow White and the Huntsman is that despite its global financial success most can’t recall what it was about, unless, of course, you personally loved it and bought the DVD for repeated viewings. The impact wasn’t really there, and almost no one expected a sequel. […]
