“Ladybird” details the latter part of a girl’s high school years and all the awkward, complicated and emotional elements such a scenario entails. The two main stars, Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf, render nothing short of epic, raw and deeply sensitive and prickly performances. The supporting cast was equally impressive, leaving significant emotional marks on the audience. About half of this film contained some of the most brilliant moments I have ever seen in any story, while the other part was fumbled so badly, it was h...

In a perfect world, we would all be able to do what we love. And this past year I have. It has been a source of joy to visit the theaters in San Diego County and write about the experiences.

"Wonder", starring Jacob Tremblay, Owen Wilson, and Julia Roberts tells one of the most important stories in our world today: one that reflects the ability of people – in this case, primarily children, and young adults – to have open minds and understanding. This film’s message is critically important and needs to be heard by everyone. Often, films of this nature can be so “hokey” and mushy that an important lesson is lost. Such was not the case here, as this story was beautifully delivered on all fronts. The interacti...

In addition to his masterful musicology, he inserts a bit of whimsy along the way to London on Christmas Eve, 1843. Don't we all...

The event, held Nov. 5 this year, is now named the Ben and Lea Aloe Spaghetti Sunday Dinner. Ben Aloe, one of the founding members of the dinner, died in 2015. Jeremy Ridgeway has... Full story
