Summer may be in full swing, but it's never too early to start building excitement for reading and learning.
“Disclosure Day” (Universal) is the third installment in Steven Spielberg’s friendly alien trilogy, including 1977’s “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and 1982’s “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” (“War of the Worlds” doesn’t count because those aliens were meaner than Pete Hegseth). It’s also heavy on religious allegories, as well as a serious indictment of secretive government agencies. The latter is especially notable due to our current administration’s obsession with Area 51.
Some scandals practically beg for a stage adaptation. The rise and fall of Jerry Falwell Jr.—the evangelical leader whose public crusade for conservative Christian values collided with allegations of a years-long sexual relationship involving his wife and a young pool attendant—is one of them.
There are certain shows that feel bigger than Broadway. They feel like a celebration of culture, music, family, and memory. For me, Buena Vista Social Club is one of those shows.
“Stop! That! Train!” (Bleecker Street/World of Wonder) is an ill-conceived homage to the 1980s Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker comedies, including “Airplane!”, “Top Secret!”, and “The Naked Gun,” with a hat tip to 1976’s disaster comedy “The Big Bus.” Fueled by tired sight gags and slapstick, as well as laugh-less and lifeless jokes, “Stop! That! Train!” should never have been allowed to leave the station.
