Coolidge Corner Theatre

Film Interview: A Talk with Writer, Director, and Actor Zoe Lister-Jones

While Band Aid feels authentic in its realistic depiction of contemporary relationships, its humor is consistently disarming.

Film Review: “The Dying of the Light” — Cinema’s Fading Glory

While there are some folks younger than 30 who are eagerly learning this dying art, most of the projectionists are what we could sadly call a dying breed.

Theater Review: NTLive’s “Comedy of Errors” — Lots of Muddle, But Magic As Well

As this is his only work which Shakespeare himself titles ‘comedy,’ a company may feel an obligation to elicit laughter. Ironically, this duty can become burdensome.

Silent Film Feature: Soviet Masterpiece “Battleship Potemkin” Steams into Town with a New Score

As the Occupy and Tea Party movements attest, this is a time in America of social action and political upheaval -– not to the degree that we see in “Battleship Potemkin,” but significant nonetheless –- and this classic silent film has resonance today in that regard.

Opera Review: A New Virtual Opera House in Town

This is shorter, no-frills Opera as Cinema than the Met HD supplies: without long intermissions, star interviews and audience preludes and postludes from Lincoln Center, it’s almost an hour shorter.

By: Helen Epstein Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Opera Tagged: Brookline, Coolidge Corner Theatre, Culture Vulture, MA, Macbeth, Royal Opera House, Verdi

Fuse Theater Review/Commentary: NT Live Presents a Cynical “Collaborators”

Playwright John Hodge chooses to ignore the complexity of the dissident writer’s experience — expedience for the sake of protecting something of value from destruction, an author fighting his inner demons to live long enough to finish what he believes to be a work of art that is also an act of political defiance.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Theater Tagged: Collaborators, Coolidge Corner Theatre, John Hodge, Joseph Stalin, Mikhail Bulgakov, National-Theatre, NT Live

Coming Attractions in Film: October 2011

New England theaters, and especially Boston’s, have compiled a fantastic lineup of programs for October, a classically-great month for films (especially if horror is your thing).
