SXSW Review: ‘Safety Not Guaranteed’ But a Great Time Is Promised
Safety Not Guaranteed is a charming, funny, heartfelt and romantic film that is, as of this writing, my hands-down favorite film of the year.
Review: ‘Three Sisters’ at the Sargent Theater (NYC)
While the titular sisters of Anton Chekhov’s play Three Sisters aren’t particularly humorous, the cast of the current production by The Seeing Place at the Sargent Theater does a remarkable job of playing up the humor in even the play’s most tragic elements.
Review: ‘Chronicle’ This!
This film is right up my alley. Since I was a kid, I’ve dreamed of something like this happening to me so I was totally looking forward to this. But, sadly that didn’t happen.
Review: ‘The Woman in Black’
If you’ve been looking for an old-school ghost story, well then this weekend, you’re in luck.
Review: Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Haywire’ is Gut-Punchingly Good
Carano stands literally head-to-toe with any of her counterparts and is equally deadly, if not more so.
Review: ‘Red Tails’ – It Took George Lucas 23 Years To Make This?
George Lucas, recently went on The Daily Show and told host John Stewart that it took 23 years for Red Tails, the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, to get to the big screen.
Book Review: ‘The Playbill Broadway Yearbook: June 2010 to May 2011’
This book is a must for any theater lover.
Broadway Review: ‘Lysistrata Jones’
Go see this show now!
Because it’ll probably be closing very soon.
Review: ‘J. Edgar’
I wanted to like J. Edgar so much… no, I wanted to love it but all I got was a boring history lesson.
Review: Craig Brewer’s ‘Footloose’
Aw crap, another remake. But guess what? With some terrific performances, you can’t go wrong in watching this.
Review: ‘Closer’ at the Sargent Theater (NYC)
Closer is a rare but welcome example of a cast which is stronger than its material
Review: ‘Moneyball’
Brad Pitt might not want to make plans Oscar weekend because I’m betting that he’ll be one of the 5 guys named for Best Actor.
Review: ‘Drive’ is almost the perfect ride
Funny, violent, beautiful and quiet. It’s almost perfect.
Review: ‘Contagion’ Wash Your Hands. Now!
You know, before I begin telling you how much I liked this film about an infectious disease that takes over the globe in a matter of weeks, I have to warn you that you will need to purchase hand sanitizer before you enter the theater.
FringeNYC Review: ‘Flaccid P*nis Seeks V*ginal Dryness’
Let’s get it out of the way — if the title Flaccid Penis Seeks Vaginal Dryness offends you the rest of the play probably will too although, as the play itself points out, it isn’t any racier than what a Google search with a poor choice of words will produce.
FringeNYC Review: ‘Keepers’
I was glad to find out that Keepers, the episodic play that is one of the many performances being showcased during the 15th Annual New York International Fringe Festival, had been run before the 2011 festival because it truly is a play that deserves a wider audience.
Review: ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is not only the best movie of the summer, it’s one of the best movies of the year. As of this writing, it’s definitely in my list of top five films.
Review: “Cowboys and Aliens”
It’s not going to win any awards but the film definitely lives up to its title, delivering not only cowboys and aliens but also Indians, bandits and the best performance Harrison Ford has given in years.
