Movie Review: Ant-Man and the Wasp
4 stars out of 5 When the first Ant-Man came out, I was somewhat intrigued. Paul Rudd as a superhero? And yet, not quite intrigued enough to actually go see it. I can only take so many of these movies. Ah, but now Ant-Man and the Wasp was coming out. Intrigued again! Figured I should […]

Movie Review: Three Identical Strangers
4 stars out of 5 Donald Trump will likely not be seeing this documentary, because it was produced by CNN Films. (“Fake movies!”) But many of the rest of you will find this fascinating. No big spoilers here. When I watched the trailer, I stopped it when a woman says, “That’s when things got really […]
Album Review: ‘333’ by Sputnik
Earlier this month, I did an extremely rare reading of my poetry at a words-and-music event at Hoboken’s Issyra Gallery. Also on the bill was the band Sputnik. Years ago, I used to see their debut CD at my local record store, Tunes. But I’d never seen them live! I was really impressed, and thrilled […]

Movie Review: Jurassic World — Fallen Kingdom
2.5 stars out of 5 The first Jurassic World was half boring, half exciting, and I’m sad to report, the ratio has definitely not improved. So where were we? The park is in shambles, but that’s OK because a volcano is going to wipe out the island anyway. Ah, but Richard Attenborough’s old partner (was […]
Modern Kindness
I was the only one in line at the Rite Aid until she showed up, a little confused, not sure if she entering the queue from the front or the back. We joked a little (“You’re after me!”; “Maybe I am!” she flirtatiously replied), and I’d say we were “meeting cute” except that it would […]
