In IMAX, Tron: Ares doesn’t just unfold, it engulfs you. From the first neon pulse to the last flicker of light, I felt like I wasn’t just watching a film but being uploaded into it.

Latino Theater Company returns for their fall season with a laugh out loud hit in Israel López Reyes' The Little King of Norwalk, now having its world premiere at the Los Angeles Theatre Center. Not only is this play a meaningful tribute to Chicano identity, it is a love letter to the city of Norwalk wrapped up in a hysterically wacky film noir with a touch of magical realism and a nod to Nikolai Gogol's The Inspector General. This play is theatre at its most vibrant with imagination and heart, the rare awe-inspiring & sidesplitting kind that makes you want to keep coming back for the live arts.

As Walt Disney Animation enters its second century, Chief Creative Officer Jared Bush says the studio is guided by three principles: joy, collaboration, and the courage to "swing for the fences."

Every day we wake up to a divided nation. Anti-immigration sentiment is at an all-time high. White privilege has never been more prevalent and has inserted itself into the nation's capital.

Thankfully, that's exactly what Paul Thomas Anderson does in his cathartic satirical triumph, …

Marvel Zombies gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "no guts, no glory." The upcoming miniseries, which is a continuation of the What If… ? Season 1 episode What If… Zombies?!, is Marvel Studios Animation's first foray into TV-MA territory. At just four bloody episodes long, it's easily the studio's most gruesome show to date.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved the classic 1961 West Side Story film.
