Last week I had the chance to see Fall On Your Sword perform at the Lincoln Center and I LOVED it. Drawing from their work as composers for film, TV, and advertising, their live show is a blend of original music and visual elements. Behind the trio, a plasma screen played bits from movie classics …
The summer doldrums have arrived. Officially giving me more time to catch up on the film I missed during the television season. However, with many upcoming off season series returning from their own hiatus, it might be tough to fit in a new show. ‘Falling Skies,’ is definitely one to consider. Created by Saving Private …

I honestly didn’t know what to expect. Everything I’d heard about ‘Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey’ had been positive, I’d heard it’d be moving, I’d heard it would make me cry. I can say with 100% certainty, ‘Being Elmo,’ moved me to tears. You spend most of the film smiling from ear to ear, and …
‘Source Code’ is Duncan Jones’ follow up to his critically acclaimed feature debut ‘Moon.’ Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, and Vera Farmiga – ‘Source Code’ is enjoyable as it is complex, Jones along with screenwriter Ben Ripley have tailored a great movie. The film begins with Captain Colter Stevens (Gyllenhaal) essentially being placed (somehow…a plot …
