Review: RIDING THE RAILS (American Experience)
RAILING AGAINST DEPRESSION Being a lover of railroads, especially railroad travel, I still remember this absorbing documentary from PBS’s American Experience. Back in 1998, I learned of the teenagers who rode the rails during The Depression, and it left an indelible mark on me. That aching search. The adventure. Strangely, it has been hard to…

Theater: COURT THEATRE UNVEILS NEW 2021 SEASON (Chicago)
NEW SEASON TAKES CENTER COURT Chicago’s great Court Theatre has sadly had to postpone its production of August Wilson’s Two Trains Running, but Owen McCafferty’s Titanic (Scenes from the British Wreck Commissioner’s Inquiry, 1912) and Shakespeare’s Othello are still on.

Theater Review: BORDERS AND CROSSINGS (Public Theater’s Under the Radar)
PERSONALIZING DIASPORA Perhaps one of the reasons more people aren’t wearing masks in the U.S. to protect themselves and others during the COVID pandemic is that, even with 369,000 deaths to date, many still don’t know someone personally who has passed, and therefore do not know the stories of the deceased. Within the obfuscation of…

Theater Review: RICH KIDS: A HISTORY OF SHOPPING MALLS IN TEHRAN (Public Theater’s Under the Radar Festival)
WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND LAYS AHEAD If you think Carl Sagan’s Cosmos is mind-blowing, or the way Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. could put history into context is dumbfounding, or Thomas Friedman’s The World is Flat is so accurate about globalization as to be disturbing, or that Julia B. Schor’s take on consumerism, The Overspent America…

Extras: SIX INCREDIBLE MUSICALS YOU MUST WATCH IN YOUR LIFETIME
6 INCREDIBLE MUSICALS YOU MUST WATCH IN YOUR LIFETIME Unlike Disney musicals watched by millions of kids and die-hard Disney fans, standard, non-animated musicals find it harder to attain massive popularity and success in the 21st century. Today, traditional musicals are much rarer than they were a few decades ago, and many of these rely…

In Memoriam: BROADWAY REMEMBERS
REFLECT A beautifully produced in memoriam video has been released today, and it’s truly lovely. In just about 8 minutes, I realized what has been missing among the devastating past year: reflection. As a promising year begins, take a moment to think about what we have lost during this divisive time. Broadway Remembers honors the memories…

Film Review: WHAT SHE SAID: THE ART OF PAULINE KAEL (directed by Rob Garver)
KAELSTROM Now available on Film Movement Plus is a documentary that is as deliciously entertaining as the subject: Pauline Kael, mid-century film critic for The New Yorker magazine (1968-91) and author of 13 books. Using film clips from dozens and dozens of well-known movies to emphasize her points, we hear the words of Kael herself (voiced…

Theater: RATATOUILLE: THE TIKTOK MUSICAL (A One-Time Streaming Event as a Benefit for The Actors Fund
THIS TIME, IT WAS THE PLAGUE THAT CAUSED THE RAT Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical. Notice in the title that there is no mention of Disney. You know, the folks behind the terrific Pixar 2007 film about an uber-intelligent rat chef that uses a human to prepare his meals in a French restaurant. That’s because Disney…

Film Review: NATIONTIME (directed by William Greaves)
NATIONTIME IS, INDEED, NOW It’s revolutionary, dynamic, riveting, and jaw-droppingly relevant. But this documentary — more like an extended news reel — takes place in 1972 at the National Black Political Convention, in which Black leaders, politicians, activists and artists came together to voice a Black agenda, now that this neglected community has been abandoned…
-
Film Review: OLIVER SACKS: HIS OWN LIFE (directed by Ric Burns; now available on Kino Now)
THE DOCTOR IS IN I suppose it doesn’t sound quite stimulating for a documentary. The subject is a scientific historian and neurologist who made a career of observing people and nature writing about them. He became quite famous later in life, especially when he published, in 1985, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a…

Film Review: QUEER JAPAN (directed by Graham Kolbeins)
CHERRY TREES AREN’T THE ONLY THING BLOSSOMING IN JAPAN We’ve come a long way since the days when being queer — in the eyes of the media — meant being child molesters, victims of violence, or self-hating drag queens. In the 1970s and 80s, gay people became activists, which eventually brought that community into a…

Film: DEEP IN VOGUE (Directed by Dennis Keighron-Foster and Amy Watson)
