And will a recorder appear:

And now I will try a recording of my own:

And here's how it would look:

DVD: State of Play

I love movies about the newspaper business--even when they take MUCHO poetic license like this one. The British version of this movie, which was a six-hour mini series was better and grittier, although the stars weren't as glitzy

TV: Angelina Ballerina

PBS's started a new season of the dance cartoon show for kids.  It's a little too preachy for my taste but I love the "Dance Academy" section that features real life people doing different kinds of dance--the Japanese break dancer was incredible--a reminder of how hip-hop has spread around the world.  I wonder if they're teaching break dancing in dance schools.

Book: Historic Photos of Broadway

Treated myself to a couple of chapters in this terrific pictorial history of Broadway.  It's amazing to read that an average 200 shows opened each season during the 1920s (260 in 1928 alone!).  Only 18 are scheduled to open between now and the close of the current season in May.

TV: American Masters doc on Dalton Trumbo

Watched an American Masters documentary on the blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. A fascinating portrait of a man who stood by his principles in a difficult time and paid the price for it.






But unlike other AM profiles this one had famous actors--Michael Douglas, Paul Giamatti, Liam Neeson--perform excerpts from Trumbo's funny, lyrical and philosophical letters. It shouldn't have worked but it did, maybe because he was such a vivid writer.

Theater: The Retributionists

Saw a new play about the Holocust at Playwrights Horizons on Theater Row.  Like Tarantino's new movie "Inglourious Basterds," it's a revenge drama about the Jews getting back at the Nazis.
