By Chic DiCiccio “We need to split up.” It’s the kiss of death in horror movies. This is particularly so in “It Chapter Two,” but for a different reason. It’s due to the fact that after one fantastic scene of the now adult and reunited Losers Club, you hate to see them apart. “It Chapter […]
By Shari Goldstein Stern On a 96-degree Dallas summer night, a unique dinner menu and equally offbeat show under one roof can’t be beat. In the case of “Greater Tuna” (GT), Pocket Sandwich Theatre (PST), is a cool combination, rhetorically and literally. Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard put their comic heads together to […]
By Spencer Shelton Scoot on over to the Fair Park Coliseum and State Fair of Texas Livestock Judging Pavilion to enjoy the lineup of free pre-Fair horse shows every weekend through Sept. 7. This year’s lineup offers a series of horse shows featuring teams and riders from all over the nation. Located in the Fair […]
By Chic DiCiccio R.I.P. summer movie season. It officially ended on August 29. Sure, September has a few big releases (“It Chapter Two” and “Ad Astra”), but for the most part, it’s kaput. So where do movie junkies go to spend their valuable screen gazing time? Netflix, that’s where. If you can keep your eyeballs […]

(I’m forever grateful to the late Cheryl Collett, who recommended me to Nancy; I will always think fondly of her and […]

By Chic DiCiccio For those that are wondering, you can go into “Angel Has Fallen” without seeing the previous “Fallen” films “Olympus Has Fallen” and “London Has Fallen.” Let’s just be nice and say the storylines aren’t exactly deep. That being said, “Angel” is kind of a blast. Literally. From the opening kinetic sequence to […]
Texas International Pop Festival 1969 By Shari Goldstein Stern Who knew that a peace and love fest was right under our noses here in Texas just after Woodstock? You might call the summer of 1969 an explosion of rock music across the country. The historic period that turned rock music on its ear was […]
By Chic DiCiccio Some of the easiest movie jokes involve making young kids curse. Even “Avengers Endgame” did it with a cleverly placed s-bomb.
