'The Wrong Man'
Robert Massimi. The Wrong Man playing at MCC's new digs is a musical about a man who struggles in his life and gets accused of murder. Set with really good songs, choreography, lighting and costumes, this 90-minute intermission-less play glides through its plot. Both enjoyable and resonant, Joshua Henry and ensemble are terrific.

I liked it. It was what I wanted most from this film, fun. And I did indeed squee at certain moments that brought me back to my childhood. It’s not a perfect film by any means, but it is a good film, I’d even say above average, and yet still, Imma say out some things I didn’t like and how I thought things could be done better, because my brain doesn’t know how to shut off.
Hapsetshut The PharaohPublished 5 years ago in Geeks30 Books to Read Before You Die (Pt. 56)
Part 56! I know I haven't been here for a while, but I swore to myself that I would continue to do these lists for as long as physically possible. We're really getting on, and I hope you're enjoying our journey as much as I am sharing it with you. The purpose of these lists is to prove to you that there are great books out there that aren't just the usual classics. Yes, the usual classics are good books too, or they wouldn't be the usual classics. But, there are so many other books you could be reading as well.

Recently, I have started watching Suits again. For those who have not seen a single episode of Suits it is about a law firm that hires a fraud as a lawyer and they knowingly did so. The reason that Mike Ross was hired was because Harvey Spector has never seen an associate know so much about the law, but of course Mike Ross has a photographic memory. Anyways, Harvey has the best assistant in the world. Donna knows the details of everyone and everything that goes around the office. She can be portrayed as an icon of feminism. Harvey is one of the best lawyers in the city and Donna is the equivalent of him. She is fiercely loyal to Harvey and sometimes she does have clouded judgement when it comes to him, but it happens rarely. Donna is often the glue that holds everyone together, and she gives the great advice even when it is not asked. Donna does her job and does it well. She also has the confidence that any woman should have, and her outfits are simply amazing.
My Review of 'Tall Girl'
Tall Girl is obviously a lighter film that takes small things and makes them seem big to each of the characters involved in the movie. I went into this movie knowing that it would be a predictable teen movie, and that's not a bad thing. I like watching teen movies once in a while, because they don't make me think too much, and I get to just enjoy the ride. Sometimes you have to give your brain a rest and just enjoy a movie with a few charismatic characters.

Having recently returned from a sabbatical, Kathy Hartman (Lydia Wilson) is nervous to prove she's back and ready to return to the fray of her business firm. When she learns that her interim replacement, Hannah Van Dyke (Tuppence Middleton), has proven herself invaluable enough to the company that her boss Philip (Christopher Villiers) is keeping her on, Kathy feels doubly pressured to prove that she still has value as an employee. On top of that, Kathy finds herself having grown distant from her husband Mark (Luke Roberts), leading her to fear for both her career and her marriage.
Trevor WellsPublished 5 years ago in Geeks'Babylon' Episode 1
This was twenty minutes I did not realize passed 'til it came to the moment when the ending started to play as the next episode was getting ready to play. The first three episodes of the show dropped on Amazon Prime Video, however I wanted to do this piece before I watch the next video so that my thoughts regarding this episode would be isolated to this episode, and not stretched across others.
“Talking Star: 'The Star Report': Should Black People Identify as Color Neutral?”
If you don’t mind spoilers, continue reading. If you do mind, watch the film Joker (2019). Before anything, Mr. Torain exclaims that the Tyler, the Creator show was lit. He was giddy as a teenybopper screaming Tyler’s name at the show. Next, he smoothly delves into the common thread of the narrative, the Joker film. He says that the film is not an adaptation of any comic book in any sense. The film explores mental health and anxiety issues present within relatively modern culture. Star points out that there are no CGI effects included in the film, yet the cinematography is sublime. Star says that he grows weary of movies with all kinds of big shootouts with machine guns and rockets and missiles. This film that he discusses is a big plus to him. The Joker employs a revolver. He shoots three white boys on the subway, Star describes. Additionally, the Joker (Joaquin Phoenix) stabs a man in the head. In a wicked scene to Mr. Torain, a little person is given the opportunity to leave a room with a chain lock on the door and fails to reach it to escape. Star says that Joaquin Phoenix is superb.
Skyler SaundersPublished 5 years ago in Geeks'Bedknobs And Broomsticks'—What Happened to the Knob?!
Isn't this just a film we all love? Yes, I am talking about the 1971 Disney musical production Bedknobs and Broomsticks, of course! This classic movie captured the hearts and minds of a generation, with its unique and heart warming tale of Miss Eglantine Price, a witch-in-training who tries to defeat the Nazis with the help of three young children.
Hayley DodwellPublished 5 years ago in GeeksLate Review: 'Joker'
As much as they say they don't, people really do love drama. The film Joker was primed to be just "one" of those. A film whose subject matter who happens to ridden with guilt and critics say to watch with a cautious eye. After my own viewing, this is far from the truth and people/critics may have interpreted it in a different way.
George GomezPublished 5 years ago in Geeks'Special Crime Investigation Unit—Special 7' Episode 1
This is a show that reminds me quite a bit of Bright when it comes to a conceptual level. Mythical creatures coexist with humans in a modern day society, after unifying following a great disaster. The character that we are following is a rookie detective, who happens to be at a bank getting robbed on his day off. During this robbery he meets another detective in the same situation he is in. From this point shenanigans occur and our central character is recruited by a special investigative division called the Special Seven, whose sole directive is to hunt a group called Nine.
'My Hero Academia': Ranking the Openings
To be honest, they’re all great. My Hero Academia is about a week away, and it’s easily one of the most anticipated anime of the year. This anime is popular for a million reasons, from the fun plot and action sequences to the dynamic characters and emotional stories they have. It also helps that they have great openings. Having a good opening is pretty much essential to any anime (I mean, you may have even heard the opening to Neon Genesis Evangelion and don’t even know it) as it highlights and foreshadows important story arcs to expect. My Hero Academia has had five openings thus far, and honestly, ranking them is very hard. However, before the latest season drops and we get another (most likely) awesome opening to look forward to every week, let’s look at the openings that came before and see which is the best of the best.
