Movie Review: ‘West Side Story’
I first saw 1961’s “West Side Story” in a middle school music class. My opinion at the time was mostly focused on how the street gangs looked none-too-tough with all that stagey dancing.

So the still #3 […]

Movie Review – Ghostbusters Afterlife
Director Jason Reitman is taking over the reins of his father Ivan’s “Ghostbusters” franchise, and the results are a mixed bag.

The day started with going for a walk, as it gets dark so early. There were 15-20 people there, from Telstar students to kids from MKS to parents. When they […]
