Concert Revue: The Killers - Wonderful Wonderful Tour

The Killers Wonderful Wonderful Tour Rocked the Anthem

January 12, 2018 Milinda Jefferson Music Reviews

The Killers were definitely “Wonderful Wonderful” at The Anthem on Wednesday night, January 10th. “Wonderful Wonderful” is the title of their fifth studio album which debut at number one on the US Billboard 200 and becoming the Killers’ first US number-one album. I decided to review from the third level of The Anthem because I could see the complete stage and observe overall positive crowd reactions from all angles.

TV Revue: 9-1-1 "Let Go"

9-1-1 “Let Go”

January 12, 2018 Derrick Dunn Television, Television Reviews

After a mediocre debut, Ryan Murphy’s new show 9-1-1 seems to have found it’s footing with the second episode, “Let Go.” Opening with a terrifying roller coaster accident, involving two friends, the opening sequence was very realistic. The strength in this episode written by Murphy with his two co-co-writers, was the realism, as one moment you’re cracking jokes with your best friends, and the next you watch him perish.

TV Revue: Grown-ish "If You're Reading This, It's Too Late"

Grown-ish “If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late”

January 12, 2018 Derrick Dunn Television, Television Reviews

The core storytelling aspect of what makes a spin-off great for me is breaking itself from its parent show. Freeform’s Grown-ish continues this trend with Episode 3, “If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late”. Since the backdoor pilot episode aired last season, Zoey has been trying to get Aaron (Trevor Jackson) to notice her.

TV Revue: Growish "Late Registration

Grown-ish “Late Registration”

January 5, 2018 Derrick Dunn Television, Television Reviews

Since its inception back in 2014, I’ve always found Black-ish to be one of the smartest written and relatable shows on Network Television. Centered on the upper-middle-class African American Johnson family, I look forward to watching the show weekly. When I heard that Zoey (Yara Shahidi) would be getting a spin-off, following her transition into college, I knew that I would have a new comedy to watch. Airing on the Freeform Network, Grown-ish picks up where the backdoor pilot “Liberal Arts” episode of Black-ish left off. Episode 1 Late Registration introduces us to our cast who are all forced to take a late-night class, taught by the hilarious Deon Cole, respiring his role as Charlie from the parent series.

TV Revue: 9-1-1 "Pilot"

9-1-1 “Pilot”

January 5, 2018 Derrick Dunn Television, Television Reviews

TV Wunderkid Ryan Murphy returns to the FOX network for the drama 9-1-1. The dramedy which follows the lives of Los Angeles first responders: cops, paramedics, firefighters, and dispatchers, in their jobs as well as their personal lives. With an ensemble cast, the show three leads are Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, and Connie Britton, who have all worked with Murphy in the past. Given the title, one would expect the show to have some imaginative 911 scenarios, and in that aspect, it succeeds. One phone call involving a baby and a toilet peaked my interest right away. However, with most series created by Murphy, the real bread & butter comes with the casting.
