March 7, Altadena Cars and Coffee celebrated their 1 year anniversary. When passing by the parking lot, it may look like a regular car meet, but to many it’s more. “I …
‘Third Act’ is a touching tribute to Asian American life, cinema, and family
Share: When director Tadashi Nakamura took the stage to introduce the screening of his film “Third Act” in the Westerbeck Recital Hall, the first thing he asked was for everyone to close their eyes. “Picture a loved one who is unable to be here sitting next to you,” he told the audience. “Then take a deep breath in, and a deep breath out. Now open your eyes.” Nakamura’s request was more than an emotional palate cleanser before a hard-hitting movie. “Third Act” itself is a …

But Golden West came to Jackie Robinson Field with Mike Tomlin, “we do not care” energy. On the hot March 17th afternoon, what looked to be a matchup between two powerhouse teams with potential to light up the scoreboard was only a flicker.

‘Undertone’ leaves audiences fearful of everything they hear
Share: A horror movie that decides it is going to challenge themselves by having a peculiar style and approach to their film can be risky. “Undertone” is a film that prioritized focusing on toying with viewers’ auditory senses rather than their visual ones. The film’s delivery has moviegoers in suspense throughout the movie, leaving people in the theater double guessing every tiny sound heard. The film instills this deeply eerie and unsettling feeling with the topics it covers, ranging from religion, illness of a loved …

Trump’s endorsement of Jake Paul continues America’s circus
Share: Donald Trump endorsed YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at a rally that leaned more towards amusement than professionalism. The announcement was confusing, as throughout Paul’s many careers, he’d never mentioned becoming a political figure, yet his history of attention-seeking doesn’t make his political turn a surprise. The spectacle was highlighted by Trump’s focus on Paul’s boxing career rather than explaining why he received an endorsement. It reflects a bigger shift in politics, now being viewed more as entertainment rather than improving the country. This administration is …
LA Marathon: Finish strong or finish second
Share: Sports are competitive, no matter what the mindset is. The LA marathon on March 8th was no different. During the final stretch, Michael Kamau was run down by Nathan Martin, who was able to beat Kamau by just 0.18 seconds. Victory for Martin was deserved since he put in the effort to finish strong when victory was in sight, unlike Kamau, who thought he could enter cruise mode to the victory line. This is an important lesson for athletes to either empty the tank …
