Reviews
REVIEWS: FILMDisclosure Day
Steven Spielberg returns to the UFO sandbox with Disclosure Day, but don’t walk in expecting wall-to-wall alien wonder. This is more conspiracy thriller than flying-saucer opera, and that slow-burn choice is both its strength and its biggest test of patience.
REVIEWS: THEATREThe Phantom of the Opera
Playing now through June 21st
The Phantom is back in San Francisco, and the Orpheum Theatre is wearing the darkness well. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic musical returns with grand music, ghostly romance, and enough theatrical smoke and candlelight to make Market Street feel a little haunted.
REVIEWS: MUSICAlexa Ray Joel: Only Just A Moment
Alexa Ray Joel’s “Only Just A Moment” is not the kind of song that barges into the room. It waits by the window, lets the light fade, then quietly breaks your heart. Her new ballad and music video turn a small emotional wound into something sweeping, cinematic, and beautifully grown-up.
REVIEWS: CONCERTSCharlie Puth @ Bill Graham Civic - San Francisco
Charlie Puth brought his “Whatever’s Clever!” World Tour to San Francisco and proved that sometimes the smartest pop show is the one that trusts the songs, the voice, and the crowd.

Disneyland: Zurg Better Duck Because Buzz Is Back
Anaheim, CA - Buzz Lightyear is getting ready to report back for duty at Disneyland, and Emperor Zurg should probably start stretching. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters in Tomorrowland has been closed since April for refurbishment, leaving Space Rangers without their usual laser-blasting showdown. Disney has not shared detailed notes on what changed behind the construction walls, and early signs point more toward a tune-up than a full makeover. That means fans should not expect a brand-new mission, but they can expect the familiar ride to return polished, refreshed, and ready for summer crowds. The timing is no accident in spirit, even if Disney has not framed it that way. Toy Story 5 arrives in theaters June 19, bringing Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the gang into a new “Toy meets Tech” story that pits classic play against modern screens. With the attraction expected to reopen June 13, Disneyland is putting one of Pixar’s most beloved heroes back in action just as the franchise returns to the big screen. In other words, Tomorrowland is about to get noisy again, and Zurg’s vacation is officially over.Image Created By: The Golden Bay Times Graphics Dept.

Disneyland: A Little Station With a Big Memory
Anaheim, CA - Disneyland is preparing to bring a missing piece of New Orleans Square back from the ashes, and this one comes with more history than its modest size suggests. The park has received a permit to rebuild the radio house near the New Orleans Square train station, a structure damaged beyond saving after an overnight fire on December 28, 2022. No one was injured, but the small building sat behind scrim and scaffolding for years before being torn down in 2025. The new structure is planned as a 357-square-foot Cast Member break room with a restroom, plus mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. That may sound about as glamorous as a broom closet with paperwork, but this corner of Disneyland has real storybook bones. The station area was inspired by a set from Disney’s 1948 film So Dear to My Heart, after Walt Disney’s hopes of using the original set ran into one stubborn problem: animator Ward Kimball did not want to give it back. So Disneyland built its own version, proving once again that even backstage buildings can carry a little movie magic.Image Created By: The Golden Bay Times Graphics Dept.

Six Flags Magic Mountain: Cartoon Chaos Comes Roaring Back
Valencia, CA - Six Flags Magic Mountain is trading a corner of childhood memories for a fresh blast of cartoon chaos as Looney Tunes Land opens in Valencia on June 6. The reimagined family area gives Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Taz, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote and friends room to run wild across four themed zones: Bugs Bunny Play Park, TAZ-mania, Road Runner Ridge and Camp Duck Amuck. Instead of simply repainting a few fences and calling it magic, the park has added interactive trails, playful scenery, refreshed attractions and familiar cartoon gags that feel pulled from a Saturday morning TV screen. Bugs gets a play park, Taz takes over a train and exploration trail, Road Runner Ridge brings desert tricks and ACME-style mischief, and Daffy leads the camp crowd with revamped rides and lodge fun. Some older kids’ attractions have disappeared or changed names, which may sting longtime visitors, but the goal is clear: give families something more story-driven, colorful and active. For a park famous for towering coasters, this is a smart reminder that little guests deserve big imagination too.Image Created By: The Golden Bay Times Graphics Dept.
