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. Just voted BEST ACTOR by the Boston Society of Film Critics, Chalamet delivers the [...]
I was dreading seeing it. SO much hype. SO long (2hours 40)and that's just Part 1! And took SO long (more than a decade) to get made. I ADORE the musical and those songs. And our beloved local author Gregory Maguire who imagined more about these two witches (who still haunt my dreams) than I [...]
THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES is a rarity -- a multidimensional musical that speaks to this moment with all of the nuances of a real life lived, and at the heart of it a thrilling, complex, masterful performance by Kristin Chenoweth. That this world premiere musical is also now debuting in our own backyard at Boston's [...]

I roused myself at the crack of 8AM this morning, and waded through the annoying byplay of hosts Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish) and Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace) to hear the announcement of the 94th OSCAR nominations and was happy to see so many of this year's best films and performances recognized by the Academy. [...]
Some films really stick, and THE BEATLES GET BACK, the three-part "event" directed by Peter Jackson ("The Lord of the Rings") now streaming on Disney+ has seeped into my bones and will stay there forever. Cameras everywhere capture EVERYTHING. In the days and weeks leading up to their final fantastic and at times absurdly funny [...]
The movies I'm dying to see this fall are NO TIME TO DIE-- the last Danny Craig James Bond flick set to open in theaters Friday October 8; THE LAST DUEL co-starring Adam Driver and that dynamic Boston duo Matt Damon and Ben Affleck who co-wrote this medieval tale due out October 15; and DUNE [...]
