!["Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" transforms the carnage and unruly grief of Sept. 11, 2001, known to its preteen Upper West Side Manhattan protagonist as "The Worst Day," into an occasion for interborough healing and emotional encounters of the cheapest kind.

Actress has made a home here
Kate Arrington seems not a bit actress-y, just interesting.
For one thing, she's not particularly concerned about how she looks. For another, through unlikely serendipity, lifestyle czarina Martha Stewart was an early backer of Arrington's stage career....Tags: Bruce Norris, David Harbour, Premium Rush (movie), Insider Trading, Revolutionary Road (movie)
