'Heist!'
Heist! at The Players Theater is a funny, campy spoof on a robbery gone bad. The musical begins with Jack, Chris and Betty robbing a bank. Chris gets shot in the process and is reportedly dead. Chris was Jack's best friend and by his death he is done with the robbery game. Instead, Jack has been reduced to the three monte card game con, one in which he is not good at. We find out later that he had a short term fling with Betty in the hopes of easing the pain over Chris's death. In his quest to get rich as a three card monte expert, he meets Patricia (Blair Medina), a street musician, and pick Pocket, and con women. He is intimidated by how well she works the streets and how much money she makes.

How 'Queer Eye' Hooked Me
When Queer Eye for the Straight Guy first debuted in July 2003, I was just 30-years-old and was not honestly a huge fan of the reality show experience in general. To be honest, I did not think reality TV as a whole genre had any sort of survivability, and while I thought the original grouping of Carson Kressley, Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, and Jai Rodriguez had their charms, I really wasn't into watching makeover shows in general. I just didn't get it.

'Christopher Robin' Review
I will start by saying that I was raised on Winnie the Pooh stories. With that said, I’ve been looking forward to this movie since I first heard about it months ago, prepared to bawl my eyes out. I cried when I saw the trailer for the first time, if that gives you any idea of the kind of person I am. Not only do I love Winnie the Pooh, I also love Ewan McGregor, who plays a grown-up Christopher Robin in the film, so it's a film that was really just Made For Crying.

How the 'Voltron' Fanbase is Being Ruined
A brief history lesson: Voltron started as a cartoon back in the 1980s, and it focused on the efforts of five chosen pilots, or Paladins, who each operate the pseudo-magical lions robots of Voltron. Together, Pidge, Hunk, Lance, Keith, and Shiro can form a behemoth of a robotic man that boasts an armory comparable to an entire space armada. With their combined powers, they fight to protect the galaxy from the evil Galra empire, the imperialist antagonist in this case. Because of its initial success, the show spawned multiple comic books, and later incarnations. The most recent incarnation, which is what we’ll be focusing on, is Studio Mir’s 2016 Voltron: Legendary Defender. The reboot is meant to be a more inclusive, more dramatic, and more action packed take on the original series’. However, much like the original series, the show is focused on the intergalactic struggle of humanity versus alien invaders. And with every new reboot, comes a new generation of fans.

Payne of the Bite
Max Payne became a Devil of Hell's Kitchen after losing his wife and baby girl to mobster extortion in 2002. Max was known in Harlem as "a menace with a gun," and the thought of him even surviving that ordeal in Rio de Janeiro back in 2013 was unfathomable at the time.

4-Year Cosplay Anniversary
About two and a half weeks ago, I celebrated four years of being a cosplayer. I made my cosplayer debut as Texxx-Man Cosplay on August 1, 2014. A year earlier, one of my friends at work was telling me about a hobby called cosplay. He was preparing to attend a convention, which was a few days away. At first, I didn't know what cosplay was until I searched it online. When I did, I was impressed to see people dressing up as their favorite characters and has inspired me to cosplay. So without further ado, I'll now count down my top three moments from the last four years:
