Chris Colfer, known for his award-winning turn as Kurt Hummel on the TV show Glee has written and starred in a film called Struck By Lightening. As if that doesn’t make you feel bad enough, he’s only 22. And he’s talented (just ask his Golden Globe). Although the movie premiers…

The Norton museum is hosting an exhibition called “Say It Loud: Art by African and African-American Artists in the Collection.” If that names sounds familiar, it’s because it’s also the title of a James Brown song.

Schepisi’s direction has a measured stateliness that, in conjunction with Kate Williams’ graceful editing, lends quiet, dreamy intensity to…
