YOU, ME & TUSCANY review – Funny Rom-Com with great scenery Director: Kat CoiroStarring: Halle Bailey, Regé-Jean Page, Lorenzo de Moor, Isabella Ferrari, Aziza Scott, Marco Calvani, Nia Vardalos, and Emanuele PaccaMovie Length: 1 hour 45 minutes What Dan thought: After watching the trailer, I thought this would be a cookie cutter type romantic comedy. It starts off that way, but the comedic portions knocked it out of the park, especially the supporting cast.

Going into Sakura-Con 2026 We are about to hit spring break, the cherry blossoms are blossoming…That means it's time for Sakura-Con again. Before I continue on in this article, I want to share a small story. When I first got into anime and manga, I had no clue what a convention even was. I didn't know that people dressed up in cosplay or that you could buy fan made merch or real merch, that you could meet voice actors or connect with others about series you love to read and watch.

Emerald City Comic Con 2026: ECCC Convention After Parties!

UNDERTONE movie review – ASMR for Horror Fans Director: Ian TuasonStarring: Nina Kiri, and Adam DiMarcoMovie Length: 1 hour 34 minutes What Mike thought: You’re unlikely to see another film this year quite like Undertone. To be specific, you won’t hear a film like this in 2026. Frankly, undertone deserves more credit than this. In all my horror watching experience over the course of forty years, I haven’t witnessed anything like it.

Mini Ren Faire at Emerald City Comic Con Emerald City Comic Con was so much fun this year, I really liked some of the new stuff they added to the convention, and expanded on. Last year there was a “tavern” area where attendees that were 21 and over could get into the beer garden and play games of D&D.  This year was similar, except they went all out and made a huge ballroom on the top floor be the tavern and a mini ren faire.

THE BRIDE movie review – THE BRIDE Earns Its Exclamation Mark Director: Maggie GyllenhaalStarring: Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope CruzMovie Length: 2 hours 6 minutes What Mike thought: Over the course of The Bride! we’re taken through a surreal, twisted, supernatural period piece. Add in a dash of Bonnie and Clyde and you have a tremendously ambitious art film that we would normally expect from a movie studio such as Warner Brothers.
