Review: ‘Hysteria’
Starring Hugh Dancy (currently appearing in the wonderful Venus in Fur on Broadway) and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hysteria is based on the true story of Mortimer Granville and how he came to invent the world’s first electric vibrator.
Review: ‘Men in Black 3’
The good news is that the sequel we’ve all been waiting for (we have, right?), Men in Black 3, doesn’t suck.
Review: ‘C–K’ at The Duke on 42nd Street (NYC)
A play with the provocative title C– is going to raise eyebrows (especially with the marquee outside the Duke on 42nd Street says it). The provided plot description makes it even more appealing: “When John and his boyfriend take a break, the last thing he expects is to suddenly meet the woman of his dreams. Now he has a big choice to make.”
Review: ‘Dark Shadows’ Tim Burton & Johnny Depp’s Gothic Miss-terpiece
I’m over the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp Goth Period. Like way over it.
Review: ‘The Raven.’ Nevermore. Please, Nevermore
The Raven, James McTeigue’s fictionalized account of the last days of Edgar Allen Poe’s life, is a complete snooze-fest.
SXSW Review: ’21 Jump Street’
I’m happy to say that the new version of Jump Street doesn’t suck, in fact, it’s hilarious and that’s thanks to – go figure – Channing Tatum.

God Bless America is Writer/director Goldthwait at his potential best.

Review: ‘Three Sisters’ at the Sargent Theater (NYC)
While the titular sisters of Anton Chekhov’s play Three Sisters aren’t particularly humorous, the cast of the current production by The Seeing Place at the Sargent Theater does a remarkable job of playing up the humor in even the play’s most tragic elements.
Review: ‘Chronicle’ This!
This film is right up my alley. Since I was a kid, I’ve dreamed of something like this happening to me so I was totally looking forward to this. But, sadly that didn’t happen.
Review: ‘The Woman in Black’
If you’ve been looking for an old-school ghost story, well then this weekend, you’re in luck.
Review: Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Haywire’ is Gut-Punchingly Good
Carano stands literally head-to-toe with any of her counterparts and is equally deadly, if not more so.
Review: ‘Red Tails’ – It Took George Lucas 23 Years To Make This?
George Lucas, recently went on The Daily Show and told host John Stewart that it took 23 years for Red Tails, the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, to get to the big screen.
Book Review: ‘The Playbill Broadway Yearbook: June 2010 to May 2011’
This book is a must for any theater lover.
Broadway Review: ‘Lysistrata Jones’
Go see this show now!
Because it’ll probably be closing very soon.
Review: ‘J. Edgar’
I wanted to like J. Edgar so much… no, I wanted to love it but all I got was a boring history lesson.
Review: Craig Brewer’s ‘Footloose’
Aw crap, another remake. But guess what? With some terrific performances, you can’t go wrong in watching this.
Review: ‘Closer’ at the Sargent Theater (NYC)
Closer is a rare but welcome example of a cast which is stronger than its material
