The Oscars Sunday night March 2 were masterfully handled by Brookline's own Conan O'Brien whose intelligence, sense of the absurd, and self-deprecating charm carried us through the wild and wacky tonal shifts of a long evening. He sang and danced and cracked us up, managed a heartfelt tribute to L.A. firefighters, and a straight up, [...]
I know this about A COMPLETE UNKNOWN: Timothee Chalamet nails it. The new biopic charts poet, musician, Nobel Prize-winner Bob Dylan’s subterranean landing in the middle of the last century, like a depth charge still rippling through time and cultural space.
