Six months later...

I did it, I wrote about theatre for Popdose. As I promised. Now as you were. Oh, that's Jessica Chastain and Dan Stevens in The Heiress, now on Broadway. More soon.

Signed, sealed, delivered

Those of you who visit no doubt realize that I post new material only very rarely these days, and that the reviews, etc, that I write are logged on the Facebook and Twitter links to the right. After six+ years, two children, and a new Blogger interface that I loathe I've decided to suspend Between Productions for the foreseeable future, but as I ponder what path to take on the www do stop by to see what's up with me on Facebook and Twitter, or, better yet, just visit the sites themselves to friend and like and follow me or whatever. I plan to add theatre coverage to my Popdose duties, so save me the aisle seat, and thanks for dropping by.

Popdose: Prometheus

I saw it last Sunday, and finally finished my review. It's that kind of movie. Sadly, if not surprisingly. We all need to move past Alien. You, too, Fassy.

The Summer Cineaste

It's online and on sale. Up on the site is my review of the nifty Andrew L. Stone thriller The Steel Trap, with Joseph Cotten and Teresa Wright absconding to Brazil with a million in cash.

Popdose: Star Wars Memories

May the Force...you know. My recollections of the phenomenon 35 years later. Jabba, we hardly knew ye.

Popdose: The Greatest Movie Summer Ever

Return with me to 1982, when E.T. phoned home, Spicoli enjoyed Fast Times, and I wasn't The Last American Virgin. And Mel Gibson ruled in the movie I saw three times, two of them driving on my own.

Drama Desk noms: Follies in front

Plus Death Takes a Holiday, Nice Work if You Can Get It, and Richard III, and others in the usual potpourri derived from the bustling New York theater scene. I was a nominator once, and, like Sally in Follies (pictured), I felt like I was "losing my mind" as I saw all those shows. But away we go. The awards will be held on June 3.
