Crafts Against Cancer

By John Thomason

Craft beer isn’t just for breakfast anymore — it’s also fighting cancer. Well, sort of. If you need a noble reason to check out the Coconut Creek brewporium World of Beer, with its dozens of exotic hops and daily rotating draft offerings, Tuesday would be the night to visit. That’s…

Jennifer Aniston Grieves, but Cake‘s Script Lets Her Down

By Amy Nicholson

Each year, screenwriters kill off enough offscreen children to fill a Chuck E. Cheese. A dead son or daughter gives a movie the illusion of depth plus an easy explanation for whatever the script ladles on the surviving parents. Binge-drinking? Nymphomania? Sudden bouts of break dancing? Blame the wee coffin…

Pacino, Levinson, and Roth Stare Down the End in The Humbling

By Stephanie Zacharek

There’s something bracingly honest about The Humbling, Barry Levinson’s movie about a 67-year-old Shakespearean actor, played by Al Pacino, who, after being struck with crippling anxiety, gets his mojo restored — some of it, anyway — by a manipulative muse (Greta Gerwig). Based on the 2009 Philip Roth novel of…

Jennifer Lopez’s The Boy Next Door Is as Nuts as You Hope It Is

By Alan Scherstuhl

The most pleasurably ludicrous highlight of The Boy Next Door comes a half-hour in, before the sex and murders and something-is-in-the-mirror-behind-her! jolts that stud the film like Flavor Crystals. The high-school English teacher played by Jennifer Lopez is dazzled by a gift from the handsome student (Ryan Guzman) who has…

If Mortdecai Had a Time Machine, It Could Be 1965’s Top Comedy

By Amy Nicholson

Mortdecai is creeping into theaters with the flushed shame of a debutante who expects to be pelted with tomatoes. It’s a pity. In 1965, Mortdecai would be the hit of the year. Director David Koepp whips through this pop-colored caper about crooked art dealer Charlie Mortdecai (Johnny Depp) — one…

History on Stage

By Terra Sullivan

Try as elementary history books might, it’s not a well-kept secret that President Lincoln was a man of many contradictions. So much so, in fact, that even while he was delivering the groundbreaking lines to the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln himself was dealing with his own conflicted views on slavery, racism,…

Wine About It, Why Don’t You?

By Sara Ventiera

Once you hit age 21, adult socializing tends to mean one thing: drinking, and lots of it. You can linger in your average bars and pubs. Then you have your clubs, dark and mysterious places, where it’s all about imbibing and dancing until the wee hours of the morning. The…

Fully Committed

In this delicious comedy, desperate diners resort to threats, bribes, name-dropping, name-calling and downright begging for that all-important reservation at a posh new restaurant in Manhattan. “Fully Committed” (that’s restaurant-speak for “no tables available” unless you’re a supermodel, socialite or other VIP) is a one-man show starring John Manzelli who…
