'Ebenezer Scrooge's Big Jersey Christmas Show' is Filled with Fun

George Street Playhouse presents Ebenezer Scrooge's Big Jersey Christmas Show through December 21. This is a very different telling of the tale of Dickens' A Christmas Carol from the more traditional approach.

New Release Review - "Influencers"

With Aliens, his sequel to Ridley Scott's Alien, James Cameron decided to up the ante by pluralising the titular monsters. With Influencers, writer/director Kurtis David Harder's welcome sequel to his entertaining 2022 thriller Influencer, it's the victims rather than the villain who have been multiplied. When you have a villain as fiendish as the murderous identity thief CW (Cassandra Naud), one is all you need.
