I keep waiting to become more cynical about movies as a film critic. Every week I read one think piece after the next about how cinema is dying and no good movies are made anymore, but 2025 was packed to the rafters with One Masterpiece After Another. In a year with movies like “Train Dreams,” […]
The opening of the Talking Heads 1984 concert film “Stop Making Sense” — a new and improved version of which is currently touring theaters and making a stop at the Tower Theatre on Jan. 14, along with a live Q&A with cofounder Jerry Harrison — finds David Byrne on a bare stage performing “Psycho Killer” […]

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A newly planted orchard spends its first year growing roots, not fruit. Underground and unseen, the real work happens. I surmise that’s like what you will be doing in the coming months, Capricorn: mostly invisible stabilization and preparation. If anyone asks you what you’re producing, smile inscrutably and say, “Depth.” Be […]
I don’t think I’m in love with the “Avatar” films as much as I should be and that might be directly correlated to the number of movies that I’ve seen across the years of my life. I’m fully aware that James Cameron and his team of technical geniuses have, with Pandora, built a world that […]
