Film Review: The Eyes of Tammy Faye

Film Review:
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
Angelika Film Center
Saturday, October 2nd, 2021

It was so delightful to go back to the movies. Hardly anyone was there and it was stress-free and comfortable. I knew going in that the movie The Eyes of Tammy Faye, would be at the very least, entertaining. However, I was surprised by the quality of this film. It remained riveting from start to finish and I think both leading actors, Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield deserve Oscars. It's a great human interest story and if you are like me, while she may have been in denial, you will root for the relentlessly kind human, Tammy Faye!

    - It STINKS!

Album Review: 'Protest' by Gene Pritsker & Friends

  Album Review: Protest by Gene Pritsker & Friends Self Release As is often the habit of most artists and musicians to create their works inspired by hot button events, so does composer, Gene Pritsker, in his newly released album ‘Protest’.  With his multi-palleted compositions and large group of top notch musicians, Pritsker gives his unadulterated musical reaction to the fire and rage that defined the year 2020.

El Sidd and the Healers (Opera Review/Interview)

Translator     I had the opportunity to preview El Sidd and the Healers, a new opera by composer Joseph Martin Waters, set to premiere at The Cutting Room in New York City on May 31, 2025, as part of Composers Concordance’s 13th Annual CompCord Festival. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the demo that Joe shared with me of this exciting, eclectic, and dramatic work. The opera is inspired by one of my favorite books, Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, but reimagines the story in the hippie 1960s, at the height of the cultural revolution—when Hesse’s Siddhartha gained widespread popularity. The music...
