Film Review: “White Noise” — Toxic Prophecy

By drawing on the insight and humor in Don DeLillo’s novel, Noah Baumbach manages to find (at least for me) affirmation and comfort in this portrait of the randomness of contemporary existence.

By: Tim Jackson Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Don-DeLillo, Greta Gerwig, Noah Baumbach, White Noise

Book Review: “Charlie’s Good Tonight” — A Rare Gift of Groove

Charlie’s Good Tonight does a fine job of illuminating Charlie Watts’ personality and paying homage to the drummer’s admirable legacy.

Film Review: “Blonde” — The Life of Marilyn Monroe, Art House Version

Crucially, Blonde lacks a sense of joy. As Marilyn Monroe crumbles into an alcohol and drug haze, this expressionistic version of her life disintegrates into a succession of discomforting, sometimes laughable, scenarios.

By: Tim Jackson Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Ana de Armas, Andrew Dominik, Blonde, Joyce Carol Oates, Marilyn Monroe, Norma Jeane Baker

Film Review: “Fiddler on the Roof” — The Genesis of a Great Filmed Musical

Daniel Raim’s Fiddler’s Journey to The Big Screen is a terrific documentary about the creation of the titular film.

By: Tim Jackson Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Chaim Topol, Daniel Raim, Fiddler on the Roof, John Williams, Norman Jewison, Tim Jackson, Zero Mostel

Arts Commentary: Containing Multitudes — Five Shows Explore the Intersections of Identity and Performance

In dealing with the turmoil of ‘real’ life, the art of illusion found in cinemas, theaters, and museums will help us regain a sense of who we are as communal beings.

By: Tim Jackson Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: All About Me! My Remarkable Life in Show Busines, Anne Bancroft, Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Mel Brooks: All About Me

Film Review: “Cry Macho” — Not So Mucho Macho

Cry Macho is little more than nostalgia for the Old West of Hollywood.

By: Tim Jackson Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Clink Eastwood, Cry Macho, Tim Jackson
