  A.J. CROCE The Kauffman Center, Kansas City, MO April 13, 2024   “And I carry it with me like my daddy did.” “I Got a Name” – Jim Croce   I remember when Michael Douglas won his Oscar for “Wall Street” he thanked his dad for allowing him to “step out of a shadow.”  In the history of singer/songwriters, very few people left a shadow as large as that of Jim Croce.  In a tragically shortened career that lasted less than two years, Croce wrote and performed some of the most popular songs of the 20th Century.  His son, A.J., following in his father’s footsteps, ha ..read more

  ROCKY Musical Theatre Kansas City, Shawnee, Kansas April 14, 2024   It’s my second favorite film of all time.  The story of a boxer and his million to one shot.  So, when I first heard a few years ago that ROCKY was coming to Broadway, I was ecstatic.  I never made it to NYC to see it, but a friend of mine sent me the Original Cast CD and I liked what I heard.  So I was happy to see that the talented people at MTKC was staging the show locally.   November 1975.  Club fighter Rocky Balboa (a well-cast Drew Starlin) is making his living as a “debt col ..read more

Every year I try to watch as many films as I can at Panic Fest. It’s impossible to get to all of them in the brief week-and-a-half, but I get better at it every year. I managed to watch more films this year than last year, catching around 80% of the film’s offered in-person and virtually at the 2024 iteration. I haven’t done this in the past, but decided to do it this year because I don’t get the opportunity to write something on everything I see. I really don’t have the time or willpower to churn out 37 reviews. I figured the best way to encapsulate the films at Panic Fest is to write a blurb ..read more

Starring: Carolyn Bracken, Gwilym Lee and Tadhg Murphy Directed by: Damian Mc Carthy Rated: NR Running Time: 98 minutes Shudder Our Score: 4 out of 5 Stars At the 2021 Panic Fest, “Caveat” was one of the many films I missed. It wasn’t until last year that I gave it a watch on Shudder and couldn’t believe I had missed this film, and waited so long to watch it. Looking not to make the same mistake again, I saw that director/writer Damian Mc Carthy’s second film, “Oddity” was coming to this year’s Panic Fest and it’s another high recommendation. Darcy (Carolyn Bracken) is home alone at her and he ..read more
