“Bridge Of Spies,” screenplay by Matt Charman, Ethan and Joel Coen and directed by Steven Spielberg, is a powerhouse of a movie based on true events.

Black Lives Matter
When these cops start shooting
ALL these Black Lives shattered
Black People can't have anything
In a country that they were forced to give everything
Once more,
Black People can't have anything
In a country that they were forced to give everything
Lynched, Beaten, Dismembered, Killed, Ridiculed, Degraded, Disrespected, Dehumanized...
It's a long list huh
Makes you feel uncomfortable when you...
I sat down to watch “Goosebumps” on the night of its premiere with no expectations whatsoever. Like many people whose childhoods spanned the mid-to-late ‘90s and early 2000s, I was familiar with the “Goosebumps” series of children’s horror books, but I had only completely read a few (though my brother owned nearly every entry in the series). The success...
“The Flash” came back with its season two premiere with solid footing while introducing a new threat, the evil speedster Zoom, for Team Flash. Now episode two, “Flash of Two Worlds” promises to bring a whole new concept to the universe “The Flash” is building.
As seen in the ending of its premiere episode, a stranger known as Jay Garrick...
For as otherworldly as his ability as a producer was, nobody wanted Kanye West to be a rapper. Yet, ‘Ye’s 2004 debut act, “College Dropout,” served as an all-inclusive slap in the face for those who found his rap venture untenable. His lyricism was distinctly unique, the content was equally thought-provoking as it was humorous, and his overall persona...
Welcome to a 1980s nightclub, where the glitchy music is enough to fry your brain, the epileptic onslaught of neon lights is enough to give you a seizure and the drug-fueled drinks will be good enough to keep you going until, well, you can’t. Tonight’s music will be sponsored by Neon Indian’s new album “Vega Intl Night School.” The...
For those of you who love breaking the mold and being your own person, bandwagons and the people who join them are probably the center of your derision, and often with good cause. Bandwagons have led to terrible things, from racism, to fascism to Donald Trump’s recent presidential campaign. But what if the bandwagon actually leads to somewhere good?...
There is something so sleek and chic about the color black. It slims down the body and makes you look badass without much effort. After the past couple of months of seeing so much color around me, I always relish when the weather gets cooler and my closet becomes more and more desaturated. While all black or almost all...
Audiences got their first look at a modern, live adaptation of DC Comics’ own scarlet speedster last year with CW’s “The Flash.” With superheroes dominating movie screens in recent years from both Marvel and DC Comics, “The Flash” broke out of the vast array of superheroes to bring us one of the best live-action adaptations of a comic book...
If you walked into “The Green Inferno” hoping to see Juni Cortez from “Spy Kids” get eaten by a bunch of cannibals who are high as a kite then you’re in for a treat. If you walked into “The Green Inferno” expecting a decent horror movie with decent acting and decent characters, then my God, are you going to...
