Its velvet seats transport audiences back through decades with classic and cult films, many previously […]

For the first time in 30 years, the Academy Awards will be without an emcee. Designated host Kevin Hart dropped out after homophobic remarks from his past surfaced and it appears no one dares step in and take the reins. The last time the Academy Awards went without a host, the world got that Rob […]

The competition for your Friday night could be a no brainer or a nail biter. Two movies, both beloved, both long gone from their first-run, full-screen heydays, return to larger-than-life glory this weekend — on the same damn night. In what I’m calling the “Battle of the Double D movies” or “A Tale of Two […]

We love trees and allegories here in the land of tall redwoods and idealists. We’re dreamers, poets, environmental stewards and veterans. And we are fortunate that a sweet tale that speaks to all these identities makes its way to the Arcata Playhouse for our enjoyment and enrichment. The Arcata Playhouse Family Fun Series opens its […]

Are you the kind of sci-fi/action film fan that goes along with the whole suspension-of-disbelief thrill ride or do the maddening missteps of science/tech/logic elicit a passionate “Come on!” from you? Your friends may roll their eyes but we get it. If you’re curious whether some harebrained Hollywood theory could actually work, there are experts […]
