'Carnival Row'
I have been searching for another fantasy series to replace the hole that was left agape by the conclusion of Game of Thrones. Although that series had, arguably, the worst series finale in history, it will hold hearts and minds captive for all time. I am considering a complete series review, but that is no easy undertaking and will be for another time.

My Review of 'Between Two Ferns: The Movie'
I would never have thought that Between Two Ferns would ever get a movie. I've seen the YouTube sketches years back and didn't really think much of it afterwards. I thought it was a huge rip-off of the Martin Short character Jiminy Glick. I'm actually not sure who came up with the idea first, but they are two very similar characters with the same schtick. They're both obnoxious TV personalities that insult celebrities in their interviews.

'LULU XX'
Robert Massimi In a very creative, very well-played show, LULU XX IS ONE of the best staged plays I have seen in a long time. This avant-garde play was marvelously set up to put the actor above the audience. Slanted upward, Erika Latta looked like a giant onstage. Regal, this woman was head and shoulders above the audience and she commanded her role
