I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let’s face it.” So says Marlon Brando in his infamous lines from “On the Waterfront” (1954). Playing a former boxer, Brando tells his brother how his life could have been different if his brother hadn’t pressured him to fix a fight.

Zombies, jokes lack vigor in ‘Beth’

|

Any film that designates itself a “zom-rom-com,” or zombie romantic comedy, must suffer from an identity crisis. To wed the gratuitously overused zombie and rom-com genres is parody itself, and it’s not surprising that such a film’s audiences might try to divorce the viewing experience from their minds.


The Wind Ensemble and Rude Mechanicals will play a joint show this weekend.

Predictable ‘St. Vincent’ mixes schmaltz, humor

|

If you took Bill Murray’s floundering, philosophical narcissist from “Lost in Translation” (2003), threw in alcoholism and a Russian prostitute, then let him desiccate into an even more pruney scumbag, you’d produce his “St. Vincent” (2014) character, Vincent.
