Spotlight on Greenville
I’m proud of this neighborhood spotlight I wrote for the winter issue of NEW Magazine (which is being rebranded as JCI Magazine with the spring issue). The Greenville section of Jersey City has a fascinating past which urban decay has made many people forget. Business owners, artists, and community activists—a few of who I now […]
Movie Review: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
2.5 stars out of 5 I saw this movie for three reasons: 1) It was Tuesday and I can see movies for free on Tuesdays. 2) The Office is terrible this year and maybe a lot of that has to do with the continued absence of Steve Carell. If this movie was funny enough, it […]

Movie Review: Two Pints Lighter
3.5 stars out of 5 The pinball museum was closed. I’d gone down to Asbury Park from Hoboken for the day and this had thrown a monkey wrench into my evening plans. They were holding a charity event there, autism, $100 entry. I’m a charitable guy, but, come on, a hundred bucks? I just wanted […]

Movie Review: Koch
4 stars out of 5 A nice documentary double feature might be Koch and Helvetica, because the font is all over this movie. Not just on the subway signs that are a seemingly integral part of any movie shot in New York City, but also in Ed Koch’s old campaign materials and even the on-screen […]
