New Release Review - "How to Make a Killing"
Writer/director John Patton Ford's 2022 feature debut Emily the Criminal proved one of the more interesting crime thrillers of recent years. In that movie, Aubrey Plaza gave a career best performance as a struggling young woman who desperately turns to crime only to discover she has a knack for it. Ford's second movie, How to Make a Killing, features a similar anti-hero, but here the crime is murder.

Jersey Arts Podcast: 'Dog Man: The Musical' Unleashes the Pilkey-verse Onstage

New Release Review - "The Bride!"

Following Hamnet and "Wuthering Heights", Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride! is the latest in a line of awful movies inspired by the work of great English writers. It's Mary Shelley here of course, but Gyllenhaal also plucks from James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein. Whale cast Elsa Lanchester in the dual roles of Shelley and the titular monster, and Gyllenhaal pulls the same trick here with Jessie Buckley. That's where the similarities end however, as The Bride! has more in common with '70s exploitation flicks and '90s horror comedies than either Shelley's novel or the Universal monster movies it inspired.




Grunin Center presents Adam Moezinia Trio on March 22nd

(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Guitarist Adam Moezinia will perform at the Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College on Sunday, March 22, 2026, at 3:00pm. The event is part of the Grunin Center's Jazz on a Sunday Afternoon concert series.

LATEST COLUMNS
The Makin Waves Song of the Week is "Suicide Doors," a recent single by the Jersey Shore rockabilly trio Billy Penn & the Inside Drivers.


"I'm alright my friend, how are you; it's going back a bit but I'm still grumpy, nothing changes, I'm alright and above ground as they say," laughed the always engaging Rick Wakeman as he discussed his upcoming March 13 Colonial Theatre show in Phoenixville, PA, his March 25 show at the Bergen PAC in Englewood, NJ and his March 29 show in Red Bank, NJ at The Vogel. 


No nation has seen an uglier side of the Atomic Age than Japan. Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain the only cities devastated by nuclear bombs. After surrendering to the splitters of the nucleus, the Japanese promised never to rearm until the bombers (us) gave the okay. Fidelity to that pledge didn't save them from another atomic megadisaster: the core meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor in 2011. Fifteen years later the contamination — and humiliation — remains. If a Japanese person should decline to hear a lecture about the miracle of the split atom, it's not hard to understand why.
