That there is a professional theater company in Wellington is weird. That it´s good is even weirder. I´d never been to Wellington before. It´s so northwesterly. If I´m to believe Mapquest (and I never will again), my trip to the Studio Theatre of Wellington involves a drive from Wilton Manors…
Although even under the best circumstances, ArtServe has never been an especially hospitable site for exhibitions ¯¯ a horrible irony for Broward County ¯¯ the place has outdone itself with the current ¨Mix It Up: A Mixed-Media Exhibition.¨ First, it promotes this sprawling group show as opening on May 21,…
(MGM) Sergio Leone made westerns like Wagner made ditties. This essential boxed set — four films with four discs of supplemental material, much of it scholarly and insightful — shows the Italian director supplanting the elegiac Monument Valley iconography of John Ford with a darker, ruder, more bleak-humored brand of…

There is a moment early on in “Dead Dogs and Gym Teachers,” the 14th episode of the brilliant but canceled television series Freaks and Geeks, in which gangly, bespectacled, picked-last-in-gym-class high school freshman Bill Haverchuck (Martin Starr) arrives home from school, makes himself a grilled cheese sandwich, and sits down…
“I think the public doesn’t care about reviews,” says Eli Roth, writer-director of Hostel Part II, which — surprise! — isn’t being shown to the press before it opens Friday on more than 2,500 screens. Still, the 35-year-old perpetrator of high-grossing “torture porn” does appreciate critical kindness when he sees…

I went to Michael Joseph Photography and Artists’ Haven Gallery expecting one thing and got another altogether. What I expected, more or less, was a traditional art gallery with Joseph’s black-and-white photos lining the walls. What I got was a display space in transition, which in this case proved to…

Porky’s: The Ultimate Collection (Fox) When writer-director Bob Clark was killed by a drunk driver in April, the obits trumpeted his holiday classic A Christmas Story . . . but were somewhat reluctant to mention that, oh, yeah, he also wrote and directed Porky’s. But there’s no question which is…

Coming out of Shrek the Third, I asked the two smart preteen girls I had in tow what they had liked about the picture. Projectile vomiting and multiple farts, they said promptly; best Shrek ever. Ordinarily, I’m not big on poop and flatulence, but in this instance, I sympathized —…
The Voice of the Prairie is almost certainly the strongest offering from Palm Beach Dramaworks this season, and that’s saying a lot. Though it’s been a favorite of the nation’s regional theaters for going on 20 years, John Olive’s Voice has never had the arty cachet of Harold Pinter’s Betrayal…
