When I did the tally, I realized that, including this one, I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Cyndi Lauper nine times since 1997.

Think you have a miserable, high-stress job? Imagine writing for the “National Enquirer” during the post-Elvis-is-still-alive/pre-Trump “catch and kill” period.

To say the world was different when Ronnie Larsen penned his first play, “Scenes from my Love Life,” is an understatement. 

Whine, whine, whine.

L. J. Shen believes there is something truly magical about a small town, grumpy x sunshine romance where both characters are in different places in their lives who are not over one another. That was part of the inspiration behind "Truly Madly Deeply."

Don’t you just hate it when a movie has a stellar cast, including two Oscar winners (Cate Blanchett and Alicia Vikander), but doesn’t quite know what to do with them? Or it puts them through humiliating sequences far below their status and acting abilities. Such is the case with “Rumours” (Bleecker Street), co-directed by Evan Johnson, Galen Johnson, and Guy Maddin (!), a sort of Wes Anderson meets Ari Aster mash-up that somehow isn’t funny or scary enough.
