A man in search for the truth about his father. A father that was a tailor in Scotland. A tailor in Scotland that came from Poland. In Poland, he grew up in a little farm, became part of the army, and spent the rest of his life on the move until he arrived in Inverness. A son that grew up in […]

Woody Allen, the man, the myth, the filmmaker. Respected by some, adored by others, hated and judged by many. Chances are whichever way you feel about him, you are partially right. The man himself is a mystery, one that will divide audiences for years. The one thing about him that is not surrounded by that mystery is his five decade […]

In the entertainment industry, women are a part of every aspect. Acting, directing, writing, producing; yet the opportunities that exist keep them in an eternal survival game where they need to step on each other to get to where most males get without the same sacrifices. For every 2.24 male characters written to be performed, there’s one female. Only 23.3 […]

Film is what I like to call the ultimate marriage between art and technology. It requires the creativity that only some people possess, and the skills of a master technician/scientist to pull it off. For people that think filming is just camera and friends are missing around a dozen (if not dozens) of components that are required to produce a […]

Everyone hear this now! New work in theater is alive and well! That’s how I felt after watching David Brian Colbert’s play “C.O.A.L (Confessions of a Liar)” at the 59E59 Theaters. The play is a strong, clever, and contains a sneakily deep exploration about how lies are what construct the truth in this society. Our hero is called Coal, and […]

The Cayman Islands, a beautiful spot in the Caribbean Sea that enjoys the sunny and clear skies of the area, is bringing to us unique rum for our enjoyment: Seven Fathoms Rum. A recipe of fermented sugarcane and molasses are put inside an American white oak Bourbon Cask and then anchored at seven fathoms (42 feet) under water to age. […]

This is the last week of February, which means the last week of Black History Month. This month saw the incredibly controversial, yet important film “Birth of A Nation” celebrate its century mark, reminding us that just 100 years ago, a film depicting African Americans as savages unable to cope with white society was a big hit. Since then, the […]

In 2000, Ray Lewis was convicted of murder for the stabbing of two individuals. His murder charges were later dismissed, but he still served a year of probation for obstruction of justice. In a moment that seems out of a movie, Ray Lewis came back the next year and won the Super Bowl with the Ravens. Richard III is a […]

This is it folks! The last day of voting has passed, come this Sunday the Academy will announced its perception of best in their ceremony. We are in the last stretch of the race, one we can only assume who will win or who will lose. 2014 was an interesting year for film, and it will be remembered as such. […]

“Ni***s really want it bad in the hood” are words that are said by Ceez, the main character, within the first 10 minutes of the play “Paradox of the Urban Cliché.” He says this to make his antagonist understand the way he lives. Why do I start my review like this? Because he wasn’t saying that to his antagonist alone, […]
