Your faithful blogger has been on vacation for the past week, but I’ve also been in a whirl of cultural activities that I am looking forward to writing about here when I return Tuesday.
I watched the new DVD of HBO’s fantastic “Rome” series, saw the first part of the three-part Horton Foote epic at the Signature Theatre and attended the exciting “The Brother and Sister Plays” at the Public Theater. Also got a big kick out of Lisa Scottoline’s hilarious new collection of her Philadelphia Inquirer columns.
Tomorrow I’ll be blogging about ”Easy Rider,” the 1969 classic that is being screened at the “Martini & a Movie” event I’m hosting at the Fairfield Theatre Company Tuesday night.
Can’t wait to write about all of this stuff and some of the movies I saw, too.
Obviously, none of the week’s new films were as good as the picture for which the poster above was created in 1962. Yes, I watched “The Manchurian Candidate” for the umpteenth time last week. Would that we were in an era where the movies and the posters were that interesting!
