Puppets mystify in the Moore

|

The art of Japanese puppetry appears like nothing else in Western culture. It reinforces the art of audience interpretation, with limited visual clues to the actual details of events.

Coppola makes poetry in 'Lost'

|

Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" is simply a beautiful film. It stirs the heart, awakens the soul, and haunts you long after the closing images have faded.

Zevon's unique perspective is still intact on final LP

|

Most people don't get the opportunity to attend their own wake. As Jeff Goldblum so famously noted in "The Big Chill," "they throw a great party for you on the one day they know you can't come." However, Warren Zevon's wake lasted for several months, and he was there for every day of it as he recorded his final album "The Wind." When he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer last October, he made the decision to record as much new material as possible before he died and to spend his time in the studio with his friends.

Dartmouth grads strike comic gold in 'Matt and Ben'

In 'Seabiscuit', novel outshines screenplay

|

Whenever an adaptation of a popular novel hits theaters, the first question on the mind of the audience is typically, "Is the movie as good as the book?" This question is especially relevant with "Seabiscuit," as Laura Hillenbrand's novel -- on which the film is based -- was a massive success just two years ago. In this case, the answer to the aforementioned question is simple: the novel is far superior to the motion picture.

'Wedding' Serves Up another Delicious Slice of 'Pie'

|

After making a splash with outrageous sexual exploits in 1999's "American Pie," Universal Pictures and screenwriter Adam Herz changed their recipe for 2001's "American Pie 2." The sexual comedy was certainly present, but it took a backseat to the growing romance between band-geek-who-never-joined-the-band Jim Levinstein (Jason Biggs) and flute-playing nymphomaniac Michelle Flaherty (Alyson Hannigan). With Jim and Michelle set to tie the knot in 'American Wedding,' the romance takes center stage, but the hard-hitting sexual comedy that made the first "American Pie" a hit makes a roaring comeback to make "American Wedding" a thoroughly enjoyable movie. "Wedding" hits the ground running, with Jim preparing to propose to Michelle after three years of dating.
