4 stars out of 5 When I was in college, I became a massive Robyn Hitchcock fan. But soon after, when I began listening to the work of Syd Barrett (I think because R.E.M. covered “Dark Globe”), it was one of those shocking moments — seemed like Mr. Hitchcock had absorbed quite a lot of […]

3.5 stars out of 5 Sometime in the late ‘90s, I picked up a used CD by The Embarrassment. It was selections from a two-disc compilation released by Hoboken’s own Bar/None Records, and there was a quote from Freedy Johnston on the back. OK, good enough for me. But I must admit, I didn’t spend […]

At age 61, Tom Cruise is starting to look like he’s always wearing a rubber mask. But by gum, he can still crank out an entertaining action spectacle. And despite the return of writer/director Chris McQuarrie, […]
