* This review contains major spoilers — and I mean major — for both the book and the movie. Beware or be square. Honestly, what’s the point in watching a movie if you didn’t read the book first? If you’re lazy, you might look at the dozens of chapters of Louisa May Alcott’s “Little W...

Remember that one movie that made your standards for high school incredibly unrealistic? It’s the one with Zac Efron dancing with a basketball in a gym.

Mikaela Straus, known to the world as King Princess, perfectly blends an 80s-inspired keyboard and electric guitar with the emotions of a gut-wrenching break up on her debut album “Cheap Queen”.

Elmwood Restaurant in Maplewood is an imperfect yet exciting new eatery with a strong foundation but room for improvement. The newly-opened establishment from Niche Food Group alumni and culinary-world heavyweights Adam Altnether and Chris Kelling has many components of an incredible dining experience, but doesn’t feel cohesive and polishe...
