THE BEST MOVIE CASINO MOMENTS IN HISTORY
Casinos have long held a special place in cinema. With their glittering lights, high stakes drama, and air of danger and temptation, they provide the perfect backdrop for stories about risk, ambition, deception, and desire. From classic Hollywood glamour to modern psychological thrillers, casino scenes have delivered some of the most iconic moments in film…

WHAT ARE THE BEST SHOWS TO PAIR WITH CASINO NIGHTS
The snacks land on the coffee table, and the remote vanishes into someone’s couch cushion. A playlist hums softly, and the cards start sliding across the table with familiar sounds. Even before anyone places a bet, the room already has a shared rhythm. It feels a lot like waiting for the lights to dim at…

HOW BEATVIZ IS REDEFINING THE AI MUSIC VIDEO GENERATOR FOR FILM AND STAGE ARTISTS
For decades, music videos have been a meeting point between sound and image—a space where rhythm becomes motion and emotion takes visual form. From experimental cinema to theatrical performances, artists have long relied on visual storytelling to deepen the audience’s connection to music. Today, as artificial intelligence enters the creative process, a new question emerges:…

Theater Review: JOB (SpeakEasy Stage Company)
A PRESSURE COOKER OF A PRODUCTION A thriller that examines the effects of social media Josephine Moshiri Elwood (Jane) and Dennis Trainor Jr. (Loyd) pull out all the stops in Job, an 80-minute intermission-free exploration of the effects of social media on those who produce it and those who consume it.

Theater Review: AGAINST ALL ODDS: COINCIDENCE, CHAOS, AND EVERYDAY MIRACLES (Stephanie Feury)
MY WINNER WITH LAWRENCE As part of the 30 Minutes or Less Festival presented by Matthew V. Quinn and Bertha Rodriguez at the Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre in Hollywood, writer-performer Lawrence Meyers manages to fill every nanosecond on stage with his Against All Odds: Coincidence, Chaos, and Everyday Miracles. Clever and witty to a fault,…

Theater Review: GILDED SPINDLE (Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre)
ZANDER RAPHAEL SPINS PUPPETRY INTO GOLD Gilded Spindle offers Shannon L. Reagan’s retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin tale with a slight #MeToo twist. While the talents and artistry of Reagan, the Wyndwolf Players and Wyndwolf Puppets are present on the stage of the Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre, the roughness of the production itself is unable to…

Chicago Opera Review: SALOME (Lyric Opera)
THIS SALOME IS NO FEMME FATALE Like its source material (Oscar Wilde’s play Salomé), Richard Strauss’ opera Salome has a reputation for being scandalous, decadent, and daring. Unfortunately, Lyric Opera’s new-to-Chicago production is none of the above. This is partly because some elements of the play (premiered in 1896) and opera (premiered in 1905) that…
-
Theater Review: KIND STRANGER … A MEMORY PLAY (Zephyr Theatre)
Kind Stranger … A Memory Play, conceived and performed by Rick Simone-Friedland is successful as a historical rendering of Playwright Tennessee Williams’ life. It is also successful as a reconstruction of Williams’ public persona–that calm, lackadaisical soul who answers questions in a slow Southern drawl between lingering puffs on the black ivory cigarette holder. But…

Dance Review: GRAHAM100 (Martha Graham Dance Company at The Auditorium Theatre, Chicago)
About midway through Martha Graham’s powerful Chronicle, performed last Saturday at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, I realized that the elevated platform at center stage was not just a platform but a highly stylized Olympic podium. It’s an important distinction. In 1936, Graham had been invited to participate in the Berlin Olympics, hosted under the…

Obituary: CATHERINE O’HARA (1954-2026)
THE ACTRESS WHO MADE THE RIDICULOUS PROFOUND Catherine O’Hara, who has died aged 71, could make you laugh and break your heart in the same scene. Most performers pick a lane; she moved between them without visible effort. Born in Toronto on March 4, 1954, O’Hara was the sixth of seven children in an Irish…

ROUNDERS AND THE ART OF LOSING SLEEP
Rounders feels familiar because it understands a common modern problem: the night begins as “one quick stop” and ends with a plan for money that doesn’t exist yet. The film lives in underground poker rooms around New York, where bright lights and quiet confidence hide the same pressures – pride, loyalty, and the temptation to…
-
Theater Review: SOME LIKE IT HOT (National Tour, Broadway in Boston)
A REIMAGINING OF A HOLLYWOOD CLASSIC Frothy fun with an affirmingly progressive perspective The art deco sets (Scott Pask, scenic design), broad-shouldered plaids (Gregg Barnes, costumes), and jitterbugging choreography (Casey Nicholaw, who also directed) are a pleasing eyeful in Broadway in Boston’s energetic rendition of the Tony-award winning Some Like It Hot. But there’s more…
-
Off-Broadway Review: DATA (Lucille Lortel Theatre)
ALGORITHMS, ETHICS, AND THE COST OF INFORMATION A sleek, jargon-charged tech thriller that trades in privacy, prediction, and moral gray zones Between ownership battles over data-rich social media platforms (TikTok), harvesting scandals (Cambridge Analytica), and whistleblowers exposing algorithmic harm (Frances Haugen), questions about data ownership, citizens’ privacy, and the exact inner workings of the websites…

WHY 2026 MIGHT BE THE YEAR INDIE FILMS STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT FROM BIG STUDIOS
For several years, Big Studios films used to rule the movie industry. Elements like sequels, superhero franchises, cinematic universes, and remakes have filled cinema schedules across the world. These films usually arrive with extensive marketing campaigns, massive budgets, and familiar characters that audiences are already aware of. For most viewers, this has become the core…

ATLANTA FILM STUDIOS: How the South’s Production Hub Became Hollywood’s Rival
Over the past two decades, Atlanta has transformed from a regional production outpost into one of North America’s most active filmmaking centers. The city now rivals Los Angeles and New York in production volume, earning its reputation as the “Hollywood of the South.” This shift didn’t happen by accident—it resulted from deliberate policy decisions, infrastructure…

ARC RAIDERS MUSIC: HOW THE SOUND SHAPES THE GAME’S WORLD
The official music of ARC Raiders is built around a clear idea: a future that feels worn, mechanical, and human at the same time. It mixes heavy bass, analog synths, and slow cinematic themes into what the developers call a “Cassette Futurism” style. This sound does not try to be flashy or heroic. Instead, it…

THE TWO-MINUTE RULE: HOUSEHOLD TASKS THAT PREVENT BIGGER PROBLEMS
You walk past the coffee spill on the counter. You’ll clean it later. You toss your jacket on the chair instead of hanging it up. You’ll do it later. The dishes sit in the sink. You’ll wash them later. Individually, these are tiny tasks, but they accumulate into overwhelming messes that require hours to address….
