I am watching “Death in Venice” (Luchino Visconti, 1971). Dirk Bogarde is enjoying a feature spot on the Criterion Channel—11 movies, including those of his stunningly dark characters in “The Servant” and “The Night Porter”. I am old enough to … Continue reading →

The Flying Horse

Posted on October 18, 2020 by Jill Zeller

I’ve introduced a winged horse into my online series, The Memory Book. Like so many characters in any writer’s work, she just showed up, more or less. Who can’t adore the thought of a horse with wings? Why hadn’t I … Continue reading →

A House of Women

Posted on April 26, 2020 by Jill Zeller

I have a thing for fiction about nuns, and a quiet admiration mixed with puzzlement. I can only imagine the shape of what drives a woman to devote her life to God. A caveat before I wander off into convent … Continue reading →

Week—no, Month—at the Movies

Posted on March 29, 2020 by Jill Zeller

I’ve been “at the movies” my entire life. It’s a terminal obsession, rather and eternal obsession of which I will never be free nor do I want to be. Funny, though during our plague isolation I haven’t watched that many. … Continue reading →

I Want Better Movies!

Posted on February 13, 2020 by Nancy Jane Moore

Small Towns and the Oscars

Posted on February 9, 2020 by Jill Zeller

A Version of Women

Posted on January 12, 2020 by Jill Zeller

I texted my sister to ask if she had seen the newest version of Little Women. I wanted her opinion, as it’s a habit of mine to review movies I haven’t seen, based on my biases and the biases of … Continue reading →

Oh, Brother

Posted on January 9, 2020 by Nancy Jane Moore

It should not have taken me twenty years to get around to seeing Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, especially since I have always loved the music in it and, unlike what rumor and Wikipedia say about the Coen Brothers, have, … Continue reading →

Engaging With the Text

Posted on December 31, 2019 by Madeleine E. Robins

‘Tis the season, and because it is, I saw three different versions of A Christmas Carol last week (and completed my annual re-read of the book as well). The first was a stage production done by San Francisco’s A.C.T. Conservatory. … Continue reading →
