A little cinematic gem that I discovered recently is the “Story of G.I. Joe,” a gritty and realistic war film that was produced in 1945, toward the tail end of World War II. Part of the film’s realism is due to the fact that it’s based on the real-life experiences of the Pulitzer Prize-winning war…

Opposites Attract: Mark Twain and Joan of Arc
More than a century after his death, Mark Twain (1835-1910), the pen name for Samuel Langhorne Clemons, remains a figure of controversy. Some schools, for example, have dropped his American classic “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” from required reading lists for its racial language. Twain’s religious skepticism, directed in particular toward Christianity, has also made his…

Book Review: ‘The Hotel Nantucket’: A Sizzling Summer Treat
I recently rewatched “Grand Hotel” (1932), directed by Edmund Goulding and produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios. The story is full of heart-tugging scenarios from a variety of characters that travel in and out of this marvelous hotel. One of the hotel’s permanent residents ironically observes that, “People coming, going—nothing ever happens.” But a great deal transpires…

TV-13 | 10 episodes | Dark Comedy | Mystery | Sept. 5, 2022 Nothing helps instill the coziness in so-called “cozy mysteries” like comfort food. Diane Mott Davidson wrote perhaps the most popular novels combining murder with recipes, but even “Paddington” author Michael Bond had a long-running series of culinary mysteries, featuring Monsieur Pamplemousse, a…

Theater Review: ‘Two Jews, Talking’: The More Things Change—
NEW YORK—With a title that just begs for a punchline, “Two Jews, Talking” is exactly that. It’s also about two Jews kvetching, debating, discussing, questioning, and eventually being able to find a common ground in a changing world. This two-person, two-scene, world premiere comedy by Ed. Weinberger perfectly fits the term “lightweight,” yet still carries…
