A Clockwork Orange (and blue)
On the Mets beatI wonder if Jerry Manuel is getting his motivational ideas from Stanley Kubrick.

Movie secrets are there, in the script!
You know what "Star Wars" is about? I mean, really about? Vietnam. It's a critical allegory of the war: The Rebels are the scrappy Viet Cong, hastily assembled, devoted and relentless; the Empire is the American military, tripped up by an enemy using...

Music Box festival celebrates 70mm projection
It's how a lot of us got hooked on movies in the first place. When I was 8 or 9 I saw "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 70 mm in Milwaukee with my mother. My memory's fuzzy on the particulars but I recall asking so many questions about the obelisk on the drive...
