Review: Pedro Almodovar's 'Strange Way of Life'
I’m not the biggest fan of short films. With shorts, so much story is condensed into such a small amount of time that a lot of dialogue is exposition, you’re jumping into the deep end of the pool before you really know who’s who, what’s what and why we’ve been planted in this part of the story. But, when the short is written and directed by Pedro Almodovar and stars Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal,…

Review: 'PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie'
As the father of two young kids who have been obsessed with the adventures of Chase, Skye, Marshall and the rest of the Paw Patrol gang, I’ve seen more than my fair share of episodes. Multiple times. I know their names, I know where they live, I know there abilities. And I’ve seen the first Paw Patrol movie, appropriately named Paw Patrol: The Movie, at least 20 times. I was pleasantly surprised…

Review: 'Dumb Money'
During the pandemic, when we were all either staring at a wall or staring at a TV, there was one huge story that captured a lot of attention… besides Covid-19. That was the surging stock price of GameStop, the video game store that’s ubiquitous in almost every mall in America. It was a big topic in my house because my wife plunked some cash into it. It was a good story and a nice way to distract…

Mindset is Key to Acting Success
In the three decades that I’ve taught acting, I’ve found that the keys to acting success are also the keys to a successful life. First among them is mindset: how one approaches not just a role but a craft and a career. What discipline one brings; what commitment; what portion of oneself is present. I often ask aspiring actors at the outset what their goals are. The response I typically get is: to…

Theater Review: 'Tina: The Tina Turner Musical'
Tina Turner was an icon and a true legend who was blessed with that unmistakable voice that only seemed to get better with age. She also had the ability to take a song and make it her own and, let’s not forget, those legs that we’re insured for $3.2 million dollars! She was such a one of a kind talent. I couldn’t imagine the pure joy and eventually pressure that Naomi Rodgers, who played Turner…

Interview: James T. Lane is Broadway's 'Triple Threat'
A couple of years ago I was able to check out Kander and Ebb’s The Scottsboro Boys at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. The show was excellent and so was the cast, which included James T. Lane who was reprising the role of Ozie Powell that he played on Broadway. I walked away thinking that each actor excelled as dancers, singers and actors. They were true triple threats. Cut to today and Lane,…
