Interview: Joel Kinnaman on ‘In Treatment’ and the Enjoyment He Gets From Acting
You may think of actor Joel Kinnaman as just an action hero, but that shortchanges the man a great deal. Sure, he’s been in RoboCop and Suicide Squad, but he’s also been in the underrated comedy Lola Versus, for example. Plus, there’s layered work in films like Easy Money. Then, on television he was affecting […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘Brighton 4th’ Explores Georgian Community and Masculinity
For someone who’s not Georgian, Brighton 4th hits surprisingly close to home for me. Literally. Having grown up just blocks from Brighton 4th Street in Brooklyn, this independent production from Georgia gets the look and feel of the area right.

Interview: Kenan Thompson Talks Sitcoms, Sports, and ‘Kenan’
I’ve loved Kenan Thompson for decades. Literally. Some of my fondest memories with my grandfather (as well as my sister, but she’s alive) include watching All That.

“As you move through this life and this world, you change things slightly; you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life–and travel–leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks–on your body or on your heart–are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.” – Anthony Bourdain Anthony Bourdain was a complicated man. He was many […] More

Interview: Composer Nicholas Britell on the Music of ‘The Underground Railroad’
It goes without saying that Nicholas Britell is a musical genius. A two-time Academy Award nominee, as well as an Emmy Award winner, Britell is one of the best composers in the business.
