‘Don’t Worry Darling’ looks pretty, lacks depth
Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures Olivia Wilde’s sophomore feature “Don’t Worry Darling,” which debuted at the Venice Film Festival on September 5, is more style than substance. The craftwork is extraordinary, but the performances were mostly forgettable and the story is far from convincing. The film begins with a sensuous, slow-motion cocktail party that introduces [...]
Seize the clay: Caddo ceramics artist lectures at the Carlos Museum

Why you should listen to Stereolab
Recently, it seems that innovation in art, and specifically music, is coming to somewhat of a decline.

Tamino’s ‘Sahar’ exists in the land between light and dark
I lay flat on my bed, eyes closed, speaker blaring the siren song that is Tamino’s voice. It is Sept. 23, and I have been waiting for this day since January of 2020, when I first discovered the artist who has since had me wrapped around his finger. ‘Sahar’ marks the return of Tamino post [...]

‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’ – style lacking substance
Though I am a retired anime fan, I couldn’t resist watching "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners." Released on Sept. 13 as a Netflix Original, "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" follows David Martinez (KENN), a teen street punk, and his life in the technology-obsessed, futuristic Night City. After the untimely death of his mother, he joins a group of criminal mercenaries called [...]
