The Iron Claw Movie Review

The Patriarch of the family, Fritz Von Erich was a wrestler with a successful career, but it never reached the heights he thought due. This caused him to over-invest in his children’s lives and forced them to be myopic in seeing their future. This led to self-induced tragedy as well as accidental.   //     As horrific as the happenings in the film are, they are downplayed and the actual truth is even more sad. This kind of work places large demands on its ...

Mean Girls Movie Review

Starting with an almost word for word recreation of the original film, when the first musical number arrives it reminds you that this version is something new. The voices behind those songs are average at best but this does well to sell the illusion that these are high-school kids not professional singers. The lyrical content is also believable.   //     For a work with mean in the title, this version is decidedly kinder and even more gentle. The personal ...

With this wild creature ensconced in a home filled with young girls, mayhem ensues.   //     With the robotic or puppet work bringing the sloth to life being so poor, every scene with the killer ...

The Holdovers Movie Review

Unpopular with both students and faculty, teacher Paul Hunham (Paul Giamatti) is just such a man. Prickly to the extreme, his solitary life gives him little joy but he knows no better. Even being an accomplished teacher at a known college gives him little respite from the chip on his shoulder.   //     When circumstances align he is forced to spend time with Angus Tully (Dominic Sessa) a very bright student with an equal chip. The film’s main sense of direction ...

Chicago Theatre Review

Adding to the sense of occasion was a first night out together since a fur baby came into our lifes. Many adult beverages were consumed and the rowdy feeling off-stage was perfectly matched by all the action on-stage. The original play came out in the twenties and was based on two real-world court cases. The musical version came out in 1975.   //     The seventies in retrospect were a time for the expansion of many forms of popular culture and the representation ...
