Ready Player One – Film Review
It was director Steven Spielberg himself who made the distinction. When introducing his new science fiction adventure, Ready Player One at the 25th SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas, on March 11 he stated that what audiences were about to see was not a film. It was a movie. A hardcore, popcorn, multiplex, white-knuckle ride […]

Henry IV, Part 1 – Theatre Review: Southwest Shakespeare Company, Mesa Arts Center, Mesa
Here’s an important tip before seeing one of Shakespeare’s history plays: do some homework. Not a lot. It doesn’t have to be on the level of a college paper, or even a high-school essay. Simply go on-line or pick up a book and catch a glance of who’s who; perhaps even a brief outline of […]

Like the 2013 video game of the same name, director Roar Uthaug’s new action thriller Tomb Raider ignores everything that happened before and starts from the beginning. It’s a reboot, an origin adventure that, by all accounts, is relatively close to the setup of the popular game. That’s great news for gamers who look for […]

7 Days in Entebbe – Film Review
It’s possible that your first reaction when hearing there was a new film telling the story of Operation Entebbe was, really? Followed by, why? There were already 3 movies that covered the real-life story of the 1976 counter-terrorist-hostage-rescue operation, so, why another? True, 2 of the previous films weren’t particularly good. Though released theatrically overseas, […]
