Two of the most successful specialty films of the year expand this weekend and a handful of others jump into an arthouse market that’s seen few new entrants in recent weeks as wide release piled on wide release.
Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City jumps from a blockbuster six-theater opening ($800k over three days) last weekend for Focus Features to 1,675 locations today. A24’s Past Lives by Celine Song, which debuted in early June on four screens, expands to 296. They’re joined by a documentary on epic cyclist Greg LeMond ahead of the Tour De France, and the first theatrical release by Wayward Entertainment, launched in late 2021 by former Revolution Studios CEO Vince Totino and former Orion Pictures President John Hegeman and focusing on genre titles.
Wayward is opening God Is A Bullet, directed and written by Nick Cassavetes, on 375 screens. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau stars as a detective whose ex-wife is...

The band said in a statement that Anderson died December 15 but did not give a cause or other details. “We lost our brother on 12/16/22,” the Tubes wrote on social media (see the Instagram post below). “Rick brought a steady and kind presence to the band for 50 years. His love came through his bass. Rip.”

Among the many fellow travelers Jerry Garcia met on his musical journey was Bruce Hornsby. The singer, songwriter, and pianist had caught his first Dead show in 1973, at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Thirteen years later, he and his band the Range were opening for the Dead in Salinas, California, the same night the band’s “Touch of Grey” video was shot.
Later, Hornsby, who had once played in a Dead cover band, sat in with the band. In 1990, after Brent Mydland died, it seemed only...

To say the Grateful Dead had a terrible Nineties would be an understatement. Keyboardist Brent Mydland died of an overdose in 1990, followed by Jerry Garcia’s fatal heart attack five years later after years of abusing his own body. The years in-between challenged the band like few eras had before. But they still rallied and made the best of a shaky situation, and one of those periods was the band’s summer 1991 tour.
By then, the Dead had incorporated not one but two replacements for Mydland: former Tubes keyboardist Vince Welnick and,...

The Grateful Dead had a special affinity to film, and celluloid liked the Dead. Mystery show will be announced when tix are on sale.
The Grateful Dead were always up front about their love for movies. Before he died, Jerry Garcia went on Turner Movie Classics to rhapsodize about about Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, and continued the discussion in the recent documentary on the band. Their best-known concert film, The Grateful Dead Movie, caught the band at Winterland in San Francisco on October 16-20, 1974, can still be found as a midnight cult movie, where followers can get together and enjoy the shared experience. Now they want to get together globally. The 2019 edition of “Grateful Dead Meet-Up At The Movies” is going worldwide, according to Variety.
The 2019 “Meet-Up At The Movies” is a one-night event happening on Garcia's birthday, August 1st. The event will uphold its nine...

Long Strange Trip (Amazon Video)
I was stoked have scored a ticket for the limited-run (one week) theatrical screening of the new Grateful Dead documentary at IFC Cinema in the West Village. A four-hour love fest for Deadheads young and old, and more importantly for those music fans and the curious who just never got "it" and what it means to be a Deadhead. Expertly handled by director Amir Bar-Lev, there is so much to mine here that I can't imagine how much was left on the cutting room floor. (Props to executive producer Martin Scorsese, too.) Jerry's Frankenstein story frames the movie in a way that initially seems odd but by the end of the film makes perfect sense. After all, like the Monster, the band was "assembled" by the various parts (members, friends, fans, staff) that comprised it. Messy, joyous entropy in action; seemingly random, but actually spiritually...

Sometimes hitting the multiplex just isn’t in the cards. That’s when Netflix steps in to provide a movie fix. But how to separate the wheat from the chaff? I’m happy to help; every week I’ll pick a flick from the Netflix Watch Instantly section and see if it’s worth your time. This week? “Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains”.
Corinne Burns is a pissed off 15-year-old who lives in a small town in Pennsylvania, trying to start up an all-girls band. She and her bandmates (her sister Tracy and her cousin Jessica, aka Peg) get a big break when they manage to make their way onto a milk run of a tour by an aging metal band and their more talented opening punk rock act. As Corinne develops her on-stage persona, she amasses a cult of wannabes…but are The Stains a one-hit wonder or a true music phenomenon?...

The Tubes frontman Fee Waybill brought a colourful gig in Agoura Hills, California to a standstill on Friday night by paying a twisted tribute to late bandmate Vince Welnick.
The veteran rocker told fans at the Canyon Club he was still coming to terms with the keyboard player's 2006 suicide, and felt angry his old pal took his life before approaching his pals with his troubles.
Waybill explained, "He didn't come to us for help. I don't know whether to be p**sed off or sad."
He then dedicated I Don't Wanna Wait Anymore - a song Welnick wrote for The Tubes - as a tribute to the keyboard player.
Welnick, who also performed with Todd Rundgren and the Grateful Dead, died in Sonoma County, California at the age of 55.
