Green Day’s American Idiot – Theatre Review: Stray Cat Theatre, Tempe Center for the Arts, Tempe
With its core audience in mind, Green Day’s American Idiot is perhaps the perfect show for Ron May’s Stray Cat Theatre to conclude its better-than-average 2015-2016 season. But as one chapter closes, another begins. The show is also what was needed for those bad-boy felines to make an immediate mark at their new, permanent location, […]

Independence Day: Resurgence – Film Review

Reviewing a show that is now into its third weekend with only one more to go may feel as though you’ve arrived late to the party, but when several colleagues urge you not to miss Nearly Naked Theatre’s new production of the Broadway rock musical Next to Normal, you pay attention. Running until June 25, […]

Central Intelligence – Film Review
Whatever fun there is to be had with the new buddy action comedy Central Intelligence has nothing to do with the action nor the comedy; it’s the buddy role reversal. Curiously, though interestingly playing against type, Dwayne Johnson is the seemingly crazy one while Kevin Hart plays it relatively straight. He’s still a motor-mouth but […]
