If you decide to attend Circuit Playhouse's production of PAGEANT in the next few weeks, and if you find yourself blushing at some of the eyebrow-raising humor, there's no need for alarm: Pink cheeks will blend right in, as the stage, many of the dresses and gowns, and much of the make-up are redolent with that color. However, the musical tends more toward the 'purple' at times, with innuendo, knowing looks, and pregnant pauses. Nonetheless, Robert Longbottom's lightweight little satire (with Book and Lyrics by Bill Russell and Frank Kelly and Music by Albert Evans) is a relatively harmless (and highly enjoyable) outing.

Having picked up the Golden Globe for Best Original Score on January 10th this year, Ennio Morricone's score for Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight is now nominated at the 2016 Academy Awards for Best Original Score.
Happy holidays movie nerds! Nominations were announced for the 88th Annual Academy Awards this morning, and while I don't believe that there were any glaring, outrage-inducing snubs, I am going to go through the major categories and share some knee-jerk reactions. As is often the case for those of us that follow movie releases and award shows closely, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences didn't throw too many curveballs in this year's nominations, which means that there are a lot of people that have seen many of the nominees in the major categories. In fact, the Best Picture nominees have pulled in almost $602 million at the domestic box office, a pretty big number, considering half of them were released in the last two months and had to contend with the behemoth that is STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS.
When Quentin Tarantino's indie film debut Reservoir Dogs was released in 1992, audiences around the world were jolted. Here was an adrenaline- fueled modern gangster flick with sharp dialogue and powerful performances...with an all-male cast. Now the Onyx Theatre flips the script by giving the classic movie a bold shot of estrogen in Erika Soerensen's Reservoir Dolls.
