No one should mourn this Wicked. When Universal Pictures released its film version of the Broadway play of “Cats,” its creepy humanoid cats and bad CGI scared a number of people away, […]
Wicked
Your Monster
An R-rated Beauty and the Beast romcom that works, even when it needs an attitude adjustment. When I handed my business card (which promotes this website and NEWHD Radio) to this cool […]

A Family Affair
Another affair between a mother and star, but with a mopey and angry daughter dragging things down. Last month on Amazon Prime Video, we had the smart and sexy romance “The Idea […]
