A bunch of Asian American-y movies to watch while you’re social distancing!

April 16, 2020 By Stacy Nguyen

I’ve been binge-watching so many movies! Are you too? As a result, I’ve become a bit of a connoisseur of Asian American-y movies on basic streaming services (so not HBO; stuff that costs $10/month or less).

Famous people who exemplify their rat traits — and the ones who don’t!

January 23, 2020 By Stacy Nguyen

The story goes that way back in the day, the Jade Emperor in China pitted a bunch of animals against one another by dangling the prize of primo rank on his secret service team. The quicker any got through the heavenly gate, the better their rank.

“The Grudge”: A movie that made me excited for John Cho to die onscreen just so it would end

January 10, 2020 By Stacy Nguyen

Do you know what you do as a grieving parent and a cop, when you stumble on a death curse with an inescapable grip on all who befall it?

A-pop! Hall of Fame/Shame: Who made it big in 2019, and who fell flat on their faces!

December 27, 2019 By Stacy Nguyen

2019 saw Asians get more visibility in popular culture than ever before — some of it good, some of it not so good.

A-POP! IS JOHN CHO OKAY?! Plus, a CEO strikes back at his haters

November 8, 2019 By Stacy Nguyen

This column, I feel like, is largely about how Asian people fall prey to things out of their control.

What can Seattle learn from Minneapolis’ 75 percent reduction in crime?

October 24, 2019 By Stacy Nguyen

At an Oct. 14 meeting, dozens of attendees were charged with considering: How could Seattle take a page from Minneapolis’ book in terms of public safety? What would it look like?

Man, it’s hard being a man. I get it now, Quentin Tarantino, Dalai Lama, South Korean government, and dude who will play Shang-Chi.

August 16, 2019 By Stacy Nguyen

This month, we learn that it’s pretty difficult being a really smart man who has a lot of answers—but no one will listen to all the smart things you are saying! WTF!

‘Stuber’ is a delightful old school-style buddy cop comedy (with three Asian American leads!) — You’ll also see a penis

July 19, 2019 By Stacy Nguyen

Y’all, “Stuber” did not get good reviews at all, and it also bombed at the box office over the weekend.

‘Late Night’: probably not for men, white or otherwise

June 21, 2019 By Stacy Nguyen

I went into “Late Night” with fairly low expectations. It’s rated 79 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and 71 percent on Metacritic and 6.3/10 on IMDB, which while not bad at all, the movie severely underperformed at the box office over the weekend.

A-pop! Constance Wu seems humble

June 7, 2019 By Stacy Nguyen

While the “Crazy Rich Asians” fever pitch was happening last summer, I was very withholding in my appreciation, very careful and moderated. I like to think it was because a part of me intuited that nearly a year later, we would be watching Constance Wu try to torch the show that first gave her a shot at mainstream success. Ha!
