Whiplash Offers a Painful and Joyous Jazz Education
Jazz isn’t dead. Miraculously, there’s always a small but steady stream of young people who continue to fall in love with this most dazzling and elusive American genre, spending hours, days, and months running ribbons of scales and memorizing Charlie Parker solos in the hopes that some of the alto…
Art and Craft‘s Trickster Forger Is an American Original
Knocking out the first-rate forgeries that fooled 60 American museums? That was a curiously mundane miracle, something for Mark Landis to do while watching TV. A frail and ascetic Mississippian who resembles Michael Stipe playing Truman Capote, Landis sketched and painted minor Currans, Averys, and Cassatts with one eye on…

Zombie Comedy Life After Beth Is a Bit Too Stiff
Every other year or so, someone comes down the indie-movie pike with an idea for an unconventional zombie movie — as opposed to the workaday ones, where the dead simply return to life and chew on limbs and stuff. Life After Beth, the debut film from writer-director Jeff Baena, strives…
Michael Keaton Is Great in the Flashy Birdman
Before there was a Birdman, there was a Batman — several, in fact — though the best was played by Michael Keaton in the two Tim Burton films in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Since then, Christian Bale’s somber strutting and muttering, as seen in Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies,…
Horns Lets Radcliffe Be Bad, but Not in a Good Way
Alexandre Aja’s Horns is the rare YA-ish romance that doesn’t make like a guidance counselor and force the characters to shake hands and forgive. It’s a biblically tinged, eye-for-an-eye vengeance thriller about an emo boyfriend named Ig (Daniel Radcliffe) whose childhood sweetheart Merrin (Juno Temple) has been murdered underneath the…

How John Wick Restored My Faith in Violent Movies
This essay contains a spoiler or two for John Wick. There’s too much violence in movies today — too much of the wrong kind, though if you asked me what the “right” kind is, I would only be able to tell you that I know it when I see it…
Frances McDormand is an Unpredictable Curmudgeon in HBO’s Magnificent Olive Kitteridge
When we first meet the title character in Olive Kitteridge, she considers the revolver in her hands and looks up at the cloudless sky above the woods one last time. The 25-year journey (and the accumulation of mistakes and bad luck therein) that leads the elderly Olive to that moment…
Interstellar May Be Grand, But It Doesn’t Connect
There’s so much space in Christopher Nolan’s nearly three-hour intergalactic extravaganza Interstellar that there’s almost no room for people. This is a gigantosaurus movie entertainment, set partly in outer space and partly in a futuristic dustbowl America where humans are in danger of dying out, and Nolan — who co-wrote…

Freaks, Geeks, and Queens
As this week creeps along and Halloween dressage has yet to be selected, first instincts may be to dash to the Halloween Superstore and bombard the cashiers for advice on what can be cobbled together out of discount-bin items, but don’t be that person. Instead, consult a higher power –…

Blinded with Science!
Surely the best part of Halloween is the socially acceptable sanctioning of defrauding your neighbors of candies and other treats with the gravitas of, again, a socially acceptable sanction of revenge (i.e., trick[s]). This is already good stuff on its own, and it only gets better when large institutions open…

Treats and Beats
No one knows for sure which is the scarier proposition: Boca Raton on Halloween or Lil Jon in Boca Raton during Halloween, making the attendants of the fifth-annual Trick or Beats two-day event extracrunk with his crunkiness.
