Bernie Sanders on Thursday night argued that the fruits of his economic agenda would help ease racial tensions in America. Asked by PBS debate moderator Judy Woodruff if “race relations would be better under a Sanders presidency than they’ve been,” the Vermont senator replied, “Absolutely.” “Because what we will do is say, instead of giving […]
Mila Kunis is all smiles on the set of her upcoming film Bad Moms on Wednesday afternoon (February 10) in New Orleans, LA. The 32-year-old actress looked super put together as she rocked a business suit while shooting a scene, but between scenes, she dressed down her look with a pair of Uggs. PHOTOS: Check [...]
"Oh you like that weirdo music, huh?"
Many a time I heard that as a teenager and even still now as my forties are coming to a close. Always proudly saying yes, it got me in a lot of situations. Some interesting. Some threatening. The best ones though were when someone says "Well, I've got something for you to hear."
That's how I laid ears on the Silver Apples first album from a people who lived in apartment above mine. They insisted I borrow their copy and listening to it for a weekend straight. Читать дальше...
“Lear,” by the Irish choreographer John Scott and the veteran dancer Valda Setterfield, is a streamlined version of Shakespeare’s play. It has only four dancers, King Lear and his daughters. Plus, the daughters are played by men, and Lear is a woman, Setterfield. What does cross-sex casting do for a show? The most obvious consequence, it seems to me, is what the Russian literary theorist Viktor Shklovsky called “defamiliarization.” That is, it shakes us up, lets us see the play anew, not just as that old thing.

This year’s edition of Film Society of Lincoln Center’s “Film Comment Selects” series (running Feb. 17-24) opens with a major coup: the New York première of “Sunset Song,” a new film by Terence Davies, who has long been among the world’s most original directors, despite his relatively scant output. After his exquisite adaptation of Edith Wharton’s “The House of Mirth,” in 2000, Davies didn’t film another drama until “The Deep Blue Sea,” in 2012.
By night, Lauren Worsham is a silver-voiced soprano who has sung with the Philharmonic and on Broadway. (She was nominated for a Tony for “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder.”) By late night, she fronts an impish indie band called Sky-Pony with her husband, Kyle Jarrow—who also has another career, as a writer for stage and screen. At Ars Nova, they perform “The Wildness” (in previews; opening Feb. 29), a “rock fairy tale” that channels the couple’s penchant for dragons, ritual, and geeky-glam style. Читать дальше...
Sometimes, the ideal place to drink is in the comfort of your own apartment—or it would be, were it not for the dirty dishes, the sick cat, and the alarming thuds from upstairs. Luckily, on the Bushwick-Bed-Stuy border, there’s now Flowers for All Occasions, a homey bar away from home. This former flower shop was retrofitted into a “tavern / café / gallery” by Erik Zajaceskowski and Rachel Nelson, the husband and wife behind Secret Project Robot and Happyfun Hideaway. One recent evening, a lady... Читать дальше...
Some time has passed since Lawrence Durrell, in his book “The Greek Islands,” cited a friend’s claim that retsina tastes like “pure turpentine which has been strained through the socks of a bishop.” At Avra, a standout Greek restaurant in a Midtown pocket of skyscrapers that hasn’t quite escaped the Bloombergian thunderbolt, there are three types of the resinated wine, each boasting more organic credo than the next. The best is the Gaia Ritinitis Nobilis, which tastes like a waft of pine-scented... Читать дальше...
It was the late actress Kim Stanley who alerted me to Chekhov’s greatness. Years ago, I was trying to write a piece, for this magazine, about the fabled performer, a process that led to a number of late-night calls. Stanley had a beautiful voice, memorialized as the uncredited narrator in the film version of “To Kill A Mockingbird,” and when we talked about theatre, particularly actors, she was as brilliant a commentator as Shaw or Tynan—a constructive truth teller. She asked me, had I read Chekhov? Читать дальше...

(AP) — The Kansas Senate approved proposals aimed at preventing the state from shorting its contributions to public pensions or having private companies run its two mental hospitals, part of a larger plan it also advanced Thursday night to balance the next state budget. Senators added the pension and hospital measures as amendments to a bill that would eliminate a projected deficit of nearly $200 million in the state's $16.1 billion spending blueprint for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
