Movie Review: Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot
4 stars out of 5 When it comes to summer 2018 movies about guys with disabilities, I ultimately couldn’t drag myself (pun intended) to Skyscraper, but was very excited about the John Callahan biopic Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot. Starring Joaquin Phoenix! Written and directed by Gus Van Sant! I was sure […]
Movie Review: Blindspotting
3.5 stars out of 5 Sure, I like popcorn, who doesn’t? But sometimes when I’m about to see a “serious” movie — you know, a heavy one — I wonder, “Is it appropriate for me to be munching popcorn right now?” The thought again crossed my mind as I waited for Blindspotting to begin. Hey, […]

Movie Review: Three Identical Strangers
4 stars out of 5 Donald Trump will likely not be seeing this documentary, because it was produced by CNN Films. (“Fake movies!”) But many of the rest of you will find this fascinating. No big spoilers here. When I watched the trailer, I stopped it when a woman says, “That’s when things got really […]
Album Review: ‘333’ by Sputnik
Earlier this month, I did an extremely rare reading of my poetry at a words-and-music event at Hoboken’s Issyra Gallery. Also on the bill was the band Sputnik. Years ago, I used to see their debut CD at my local record store, Tunes. But I’d never seen them live! I was really impressed, and thrilled […]
