Movie Review: 'Dear Evan Hansen' Starring Ben Platt
Try-hard is a term used to describe people who desperately want to be accepted by a group of people but their effort renders them pathetic and roundly rejected. Try-hard is an apt description of the new Broadway film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen. The film starring Ben Platt as the title character, Evan, tries very hard to make you like Evan and identify with him, and feel sorry for his outsider plight. However, the sweaty, pathetic obviousness of the attempt renders it completely unwelcome.

Documentary Review: 'The Village Detective: A Song Cycle'
Filmmaker Bill Morrison and I share a fascination with old movies, specifically those that have been mostly lost to time. His remarkable found footage documentary Dawson City Frozen Time explored the decaying beauty of silent films found buried in a former gold mining outpost. Some of the films were far too gone to be restored while others were remarkably well kept in that frozen tomb. Morrison shared both the decayed and well preserved, edited together to tell the story of Dawson City, a place with a very unique history all its own.

Classic Movie Review: 'Hester Street' Starring Carol Kane
For those who might only know actress Carol Kane from her work on television in the series Taxi or, far more recently, the Netflix comedy, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, you might not be aware that Carol Kane is an Oscar nominee. In 1975, Kane co-starred in the movie Hester Street and her thoughtful, sweet and vulnerable performance as Jewish mother arriving in America at the turn of the 20th Century earned her a nomination for Best Actress. Kane lost out to Louise Fletcher’s daringly dastardly performance as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
