https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AmxnNxiNWA&feature=player_embedded Who could make up a tale like this? Who ever heard of a locked door that no one was curious enough to open? Who ever heard of a man on his deathbed suddenly leaping out of that bed and producing a document that clears up all the family mysteries? Who ever heard of creating [...]

MOVIE: THE HELP

By |2012-01-25T19:04:00-05:00August 14th, 2011|Drama, Movies|0 Comments

I loved the book. Couldn't wait to see the movie. The trailer gave me pause--nothing subtle here and that proved to be true. It's more pat and somehow smaller than Kathryn Stockett's bestselling novel, but it's an engaging, if candy-coated take on the social milieu of a very American group of characters on the cusp [...]

THEATER: ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL!

By |2011-08-25T23:15:33-04:00August 10th, 2011|Theater|0 Comments

ALL'S WELL (It certainly is.)THAT ENDS WELL (It certainly does.) I'm referring to this summer's FREE offering on Boston Common by Commonwealth Shakespeare Company! Artistic Director Steve Maler has served up one of Shakespeare's most infrequently performed comedies, studded it with some of Boston's brightest theatrical talents, and set it shimmering under the night sky [...]

MOVIE: CRAZY STUPID LOVE

By |2011-08-21T22:24:12-04:00August 3rd, 2011|Comedy, Movies|0 Comments

SEE ABSORB LOVE. The film is a triumph of chaos and delight-- I had NO idea where this was headed --which I love!!! It begins with a perfectly calibrated scene in a restaurant between Steve Carell and Julianne Moore, their characters married for 20 plus years-- when he orders creme brulee and she orders a [...]

Restaurant Review: LAMBERT’S COVE INN

By |2011-09-02T22:06:00-04:00July 31st, 2011|Restaurants|0 Comments

We've found it at last. A Vineyard restaurant that is beautiful, with a menu based on fresh local ingredients, simply but deliciously and artfully prepared by someone with natural talent, who neither skimped on portions, nor over-priced the menu. The wait staff was friendly and professional, the lighting was lovely, and we could actually hear [...]

I know I'm on vacation when I find lobster in my hair. And so it begins...Last night my husband Andrew Cohen is flying in from Spain to meet me on the Vineyard. He stops off at Logan for a connecting flight--when suddenly airport security yanks him and his luggage out of line. They hustle him [...]

AT ODDS: MATT & BEN, 1001, MIDNIGHT IN PARIS

By |2011-08-25T23:19:15-04:00July 28th, 2011|Comedy, Movies, Romance|0 Comments

I've found myself at odds with the prevailing winds. But as always, I'm blowing my own way. Here's what I thought of: - Woody Allen's MIDNIGHT IN PARIS--it's slight but funny with a romantic spirit and an appealing performance by Woody's alter ego Owen Wilson as a writer enthralled with Paris in the 20's. By [...]

MOVIE: FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfJAps5vqRQ&feature=fvst Snap! Crackle! Pop-- that's how the dialogue goes in this fresh, funny, up to the minute romantic comedy starring Justin "hotter than hot right now" Timberlake and Mila Kunis! Trading quips like a modern day Cary Grant and Ros Russell, they light each other's fuses and crack us up! He's the sleek, laid back, [...]

MIND BLOWING THEATER: PSY

By |2011-08-25T23:18:27-04:00July 19th, 2011|Theater|0 Comments

It's the coolest thing in town right now-- and it's only here until July 24! They call themselves: PSY: MIND BLOWING CIRCUS. You may think the performers doth toot their own horns too much. Methinks you would be wrong. I was mesmerized and tickled and left gasping by this astonishing amalgam of acrobatics, juggling, acting, [...]
