Philly Journalist Ernest Owens wins Best Magazine Reporting for “Dining While Black” for @PhillyMag!
We were a lively party of 13 people, devouring 13 courses of arguably the finest Southern Italian food in Philadelphia. Servers brought us family-style helpings of fried squid, octopus, roasted chicken and whole fish. They graced us with servings of gnocchi sardi, strascinati, fazzoletti, capunti, bucatini con pesto, and other pastas we’d never heard of — but that tasted so damn good nonetheless… READ MORE I JUST WON Best Magazine Reporting for "Dining While Black" for @PhillyMag!

Tinsel & Tine #MiniMovieReview THE FAREWELL, this summer’s indie hit which reached the top ten in its 2nd weekend with the fewest theaters of any movie all year! This is the one you’ve probably heard is “based on an actual lie,” which happened in writer/director Lulu Wang’s life – The handling of her grandmother’s end-of-life care. “The Farewell” stars Awkwafina (aka Nora Lum) best known for playing the outrageous, over the top friend from college in “Crazy Rich Asians”.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (Quentin Tarantino) There is an easygoing nature to the way the story unfolds over the course of its first two hours (total run time 2hr 39min) before leading up to the hot, fateful night in August 1969. This is Tarantino’s love letter to the Los Angeles of his childhood and the industry that he embodies.
