Arthur Miller’s Moralizing

Written by Jonathan Kalb on December 7, 1999. Posted in Posts, Theater

I’ve always been grateful to this production, both for its own beauties and for introducing me at last to a Miller work that I could genuinely like. Miller’s major plays invariably move me, but after carrying me along on their carefully arranged emotional journeys, they just as inevitably let me down. As soon as my

Beyond Beyond The Clouds Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni …

Written by Godfrey Cheshire on December 7, 1999. Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

Media reality being as daunting as it is at the moment, let us transfer a few of its perplexities to a science fiction story. The premise, scary but marvelous: The planet of cinema has exploded. Left behind are rock-like chunks of significance (films, filmmakers, etc.: each like a Web site) and a fleet of rusty,

Ruskin’s Runaway Countess

Written by Mimi Kramer on December 7, 1999. Posted in Posts, Theater

The story it tells is one that most people have probably heard at one time in some form or another, whether they know it or not. It’s probably most readily available in Parallel Lives, Phyllis Rose’s 1983 study of five idiosyncratic Victorian marriages. Briefly, Gray left Ruskin–more or less for the Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett

How Overrated Is Norman Mailer?

Written by Daniel Freed on December 7, 1999. Posted in Books, Posts

"Politicians, ugly buildings and whores all get respectable if they last long enough," Noah Cross (John Huston) said in Chinatown. Norman Mailer’s writing hasn’t lasted quite long enough to attain complete respectability–or to become classic, by which I mean (borrowing from what I believe was Mark Twain’s definition) that which is often praised but seldom

End of Days End of Days directed by Peter …

Written by Matt Zoller Seitz on December 7, 1999. Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

For an Arnold Schwarzenegger film, the apocalyptic action-adventure End of Days is pretty good.

He’s pitted against Satan here, and
