Rachael is the superhero expert, I freely admit that. When it comes to genre knowledge, franchise history and source material familiarity- I’m not your girl, at least not when we’re talking Marvel vs. DC (or whatever it is we’re talking). But I’ve seen my fair share of hero movies. Like everyone, I’m a Batman fan […]

A couple weeks ago, Boston Playwrights’ Theatre presented their Ground Floor New Play Series. I had the pleasure of seeing 3 of the 4 readings in the series, work from Boston University’s MFA candidates. Unfortunately, I missed out on Reginald Edmund’s South Bridge on the second night, but the three readings I did see left […]
Jeff Probst said it best: “I’ve gotten in trouble in the past for having an opinion. But I’m gonna have one now: that was as close to a perfect game as I’ve ever seen played”. Now, as any Survivor fan knows, Jeff is smarter than you; Jeff is always right. And he has never been […]

Here’s a quick rundown of the awesome: Fallujah has become something of a huge success story for BU theatre in […]

But it’s a comedy. A brilliant comedy- perhaps the funniest and smartest to hit cable in years. With […]
The newest film version of Jane Eyre is a cold affair. It’s gray-tinted, rain-soaked, slowly paced and underplayed. None of this is to an unforgivably negative effect. In fact, this gray sense of dismal circumstance works sort of perfectly for Jane Eyre, a dreary text in itself. It does, however, make for a rather unpleasant […]
I love The Actors’ Shakespeare Project, I really do, but this will prove a very short review because I far from loved their Antony & Cleopatra (playing until May 21st at The Modern Theatre). I could write for hours about Adrianne Krtansky’s clunky direction, the snail-like pacing and strange focus. I could complain loudly about […]
