I recently saw Ralph Fiennes’s labor of love—his adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Coriolanus—and I fully loved it. The movie is beautiful, gritty, unadorned, and truly unique in its interpretations of the characters and the play. It’s also a real war movie, with things to say about human nature, politics, and violence. Fiennes directed and stars […]
There will be a ten-hour viewing for Joe Paterno and not enough people will get to say goodbye.

Abobo’s Big Adventure has shown us that fan tributes to older games are still alive, kicking, and knocking the heads off random passerby and eating them. Abobo’s Big Adventure is a flash game made by taking the different scenarios […]
Kander and Ebb’s Cabaret is a fundamentally flawed piece of theatre; it’s absurdly constructed, tonally conflicted and full of disjointed and ill-conceived numbers. Then Adam Brazier got hold of it. The charming tenor-turned savvy director took on none of the musical’s high-profile baggage when he began preparing to stage the problematic piece at Hart House Theatre. […]
