I had a chance to catch “Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge” on November 19th at 7pm. Although it was the show’s sixth and final performance, there were over 40 people in attendance. “Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge” is a comedic spoof referencing some classic Christmas stories such as Charles Dickens’ timeless tale “A Christmas Carol,” Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” and O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi.” The play also makes references to Charles Dickens’ “Oliver Twist,” “The Old Curiosity Shop” and John Masius’ “Touched By An Angel.” Continue Reading

At this point in my cinematic ventures, I should be entirely numb to the slew of movies released for the sole purpose of making a profit. “Immortals,” much to my disdain, is one such movie. The lack of a solid story, use of terrible cinematography, and poor acting are absolute evidence of this. Continue Reading

I’ve mentioned many times before that I consider myself a nerd defined as “a person with strange, specific obsessions.” When I was much younger, I felt different compared to those around me for these obsessions. All of this changed when I entered my first Comic Con during my youth. Continue Reading

Argus Eyes has done it again but this time, they’ve brought along their loony patients to make us laugh to death. Insanatorium took place on October 27th at the Roy Irving Theater and once again included the Argus Eyes chorus, improv troupe and the SPC dance team. It was a full house. All of the performers from the previous variety show made their scary appearances and dressed in clothing right out of a psych ward. Continue Reading

If you are looking for a movie to make you hold the person next to you, cringing at what’s coming next, Paranormal Activity 3 is the movie to see. Personally, I am not frightened very easily and I find it hard to actually get scared when watching movies. Along with The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Paranormal Activity 3 adds to the list of movies that have truly scared me. It will definitely have you on the edge of your seat, nervous about what happens next. Continue Reading

At first glance, the trailers and clips from the film “50/50” look like your stereotypical Bromantic Comedy in the vein of movies such as “Superbad” and “Pineapple Express.” “50/50,” however, finds something beautiful in the equation of two best friends facing a dilemma together and brings to light the fact that these movies can have dramatic overtones behind all the laughs. Continue Reading

I had the opportunity to watch The 80’s show at the Roy Irving Theater on October 8th. What a spectacular night for the members of Argus Eyes and the SPC dance team. Although it was the show’s third and final night, there were about sixty people in the audience (and one golden retriever-who knew dogs enjoyed variety shows?!) Continue Reading

There are a ton of rock bands and shredding guitars in the New Jersey scene, but not all of the bands have that unique spark that sets them apart from the rest of the power chords. Well, post-hardcore/punk band Cicada Radio has enough sparks to start a fire within the local scene. Continue Reading

Drive burns with a cool, quiet intensity up until its last frame. Ryan Gosling continues to prove he’s not just a pretty boy in his role as the unnamed Driver. His acting is subtle and simple yet indicative of the host of troubles, desires and frustration beneath his calm. The film’s minimal style is its biggest and most important success.

When you hear the name Ben Franklin, you are probably taken back to the boring grade school history classes featuring droning lectures about one of our country’s founding fathers flying a kite during a thunderstorm. Continue Reading

Disney’s “The Lion King” is getting a second life in theaters with a new age 3D appearance. It was like taking a time machine back into childhood- only now instead of smiling and giggling at the songs the audience sang every one. Continue Reading
