    Common Ground Review

    I recently started working at a school with a great ecology program. Being in the classroom I am learning a lot about taking care of the Earth and tending to the garden on the school grounds. What I am seeing is that some of the students are really working to make this garden succeed and…

    The Marvels Review

    We have all heard the term by now “Superhero Fatigue”. The notion that there are so many superhero movies coming out that people are tired of seeing them. This theory is backed by poor ticket sales for certain movies, but we personally do not feel that way. As a kid who grew up on superhero…

    Killers of the Flower Moon Review

    America does not have a pretty past. We know that the people who came to this country slowly started taking advantage of the Natives who lived here by taking their land and eventually their lives by giving them diseased blankets. While this is just a small speck of the horrors that were done to them,…

  • Brightwood Review

    Brightwood Review

    This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, movies like Brightwood would not exist.

    Mixtape review

    Back in the day when I was a teenager, I was what was called a “Bedroom DJ”. I was not as skilled as those doing the clubs or the high school dances. I would practice for 8 hours on Saturdays and then go out with my friends and usually play the tape I made in…

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

    This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike movies like TMNT: Mutant Mayhem wouldn’t exist. Most kids growing up in the 80s know the theme just by humming a few notes. If I were to say, “Donatello does machine” you will…

  • Review: “Haunted Mansion”

    Review: “Haunted Mansion”

    I visited Disneyland dozens of times while growing up in Southern California. It was the #1 destination for our visitors, school trips, and even my high school marching band. While the park has grown and evolved over the years, two rides at the amusement park have remained my favorites: Pirates of the Caribbean and The…
