The Jubilee Center of Hoboken
I first learned of Hoboken’s the Jubilee Center in 2008, when one of Yo La Tengo’s Hanukkah fundraiser shows at Maxwell’s raised money for the after-school program and summer camp for underprivileged children. All these years later, I was honored to write an article about the Jubilee Center for the March/April issue of hMAG.
Movie Review: Batman v Superman — Dawn of Justice
2 stars out of 5 Pretty deep into this movie, it hit me: This film felt like it had been plotted out by a couple of 8-year-olds. Except, they weren’t weird, loner, clever 8-year-olds.

Movie Review: The Boy and the Beast
4 stars out of 5 That’s the movie biz for ya: Somebody wins an Oscar for an animated short about a bear, and suddenly everybody’s churning out bear-themed cartoons. Except, this one is feature length, from Japan (anime!), and has dialogue (with English subtitles). Am not entirely sure why I went to see Beauty and […]
Who Else Was the Fifth Beatle
Yesterday we learned of the passing of legendary Beatles producer George Martin. Obits were quick to note that he was often referred to as “The Fifth Beatle.” However, Martin was not the only individual to be bestowed with that honorary designation. SiW has compiled the following list of the other people most frequently known as […]
