Margo Cilker is keeping an eye out for an easier patch of ground in “Lowland Trail,” the first offering from her new album Valley of Heart’s Delight. The follow-up to Cilker’s acclaimed 2021 album Pohorylle, the new project will be released Sept. 15.
“Lowland Trail” has a breezy feel with its acoustic strums and reverb-heavy electric guitar that seems like keeping hope alive in the face of trouble. “Got miles before me, miles behind/ looking for a lowland trail,” Cilker sings, acknowledging that there will always be difficulties up ahead.

Exclusive: The story of the real-life 1988 protests at all-deaf Gallaudet University that became a watershed moment for the deaf community in the U.S. is being turned into a feature film. Jules Dameron, a Gallaudet alum, wrote and will direct Deaf President Now, which is now casting and aims to begin production later this year.
Sam Sokolow (Nat Geo’s Genius) and Steven Posen are producing the pic along with PhilmCo’s Jonathan Prince and Peter Samuelson. Amy Lanier and Bruce Daitch are executive producing. The team said it is committed to a mixed Asl/English-language production. “We intend this to be the first mainstream film to be fully integrated with a deaf-oriented crew and set,” Posen said.
Posen originated the project with Dameron to tell the story behind the uprising at the Washington DC university, at the time the only all-deaf college in the U.S. The student-led protests...

Being unable to hear and unable to listen are two very different issues, and in Darius Marder’s directorial debut “Sound of Metal,” Riz Ahmed gives an extraordinary performance as a punk-metal-experimental drummer and recovering addict who is forced to come face to face with both of them.
Marder creates a world that feels lived-in and characters of varying who all seem like they’ve got mileage on them. The writing leaves some unanswered questions, which viewers may interpret either as frustrating or as a reflection of the protagonist, who finds himself rudderless when he loses his hearing. Either way, Ahmed’s performance goes a long way in holding the film together.
His character, Ruben, lives in an Rv with his girlfriend Lou, and the two form a touring band of reputable esteem if not lucrative record contracts. One day, Ruben’s hearing suddenly, abruptly disappears; a doctor informs him...

It’s been years since I read the Bible, but if I recall correctly one of the plagues that Charlton Heston sent down on the Romans involved souped-up muscle cars raining from the sky. That image so indelibly burned into my impressionable young mind has now been brought to life by director James Wan in the first trailer for the seventh installment in the world’s most improbable blockbuster franchise, Furious 7. The entire gang is back again — Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Chris Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Elsa Pataky… hell, they even brought back Lucas Black. They’re joined (or opposed) this time by the likes of Tony Jaa, Djimon Hounsou and Kurt Russell. Kurt Russell I said. The plot appears to pick up after Furious 6‘s stinger ending that saw Jason Statham offing a member of the family in explosive fashion. His personal vendetta continues and the gang is forced...

Prior to James Franco’s first adaptation in 2013, no one had taken on the daunting task of adapting a William Faulkner novel for film since 1983’s A Rose For Emily. Successfully adapting Faulkner is nearly impossible, and Franco learned this the hard way as scathing reviews for As I Lay Dying surfaced after its premiere. One would hope that Franco would have learned from that disaster, but less than a year later, the filmmaker is back with his adaptation of Faulkner’s most esteemed novel, The Sound and the Fury.
There are many reasons why the revered American author’s novels are often called “unfilmable.” While they are certainly experimental and cerebral, the most difficult part about adapting a Faulkner novel is capturing the stream-of-consciousness style of writing he often used. To elaborate, many of Faulkner’s novels are written in first person perspectives, with their narrator’s thoughts written...

I was originally going to see James Franco's William Faulkner adaptation The Sound and Fury in Toronto on Friday, but I think I'm opting to see the Viggo Mortensen starrer Far from Men instead. After all, I doubt it will be long before this one is streaming or at least available domestically while Far from Men may take a little longer to find itself a domestic distributor. That said, the first clip from Franco's new movie has arrived as it will be having its world premiere this Friday at the Venice Film Festival, followed by a North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday. I caught Franco's previous Faulkner adaptation As I Lay Dying at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival (read the review here) and it was an intriguing experimental piece, but the pace at which he churns these things out makes me wonder just how much...

Hey y'all... I've been hard at work this week updating all the charts. Yep, every. single. one. So herewith ten notes for suggested comment fodder.
• Mystery Meat
American Hustle and Saving Mr Banks are the Oscar Bait Unknowns... unless you assume that Wolf of Wall Street will be finished in time. All have, to my knowledge, not been screened for even long lead critics. Most pundits, armchair or otherwise, believe in Hustle wholeheartedly (one assumes due to David O. Russell's recent track record) and are suspicious of Banks (one assumes because of the dangers of Disney-on-Disney hagiography but maybe also because movies-about-movies aren't always Hugos; sometimes they're Hitchcocks). So far I'm not expecting a lot of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty but maybe that's a stealth masterpiece about to blow us all away. Which of the unseens are you hoping deserves space in the Best Picture race?

We’ve been pretty grim, these last couple of weeks, so I thought maybe I should lighten up. What I thought I’d do, last night, was take my place at the computer and spin some wordfluffle suitable for submission to ComixMix and then…what? Continue existing? But before I could get to it, I saw the news window on the screen and learned that some lone gunman – anything familiar in those words? – had killed six Sikhs in a Wisconsin temple before being himself gunned down by police. We don’t yet know why. We probably won’t be too surprised when we do.
The politicians – no surprise here – beat me to the fluffle. The same dreary litanies we hear so often: hearts and prayers going out to and deep sadness and troubled days ahead… Democrat, Republican, independent all saying the same thing and in so doing actually saying nothing.

Nine hours of fantastic conversation in the best thing in life with your clothes on.
Sadly, as the overly-breaded but otherwise tasty General Tzu’s was being presented to me at our Greenwich Village dungeon of culinary delight, I was starting to sound like a frog in a blender. By the time I was on the subway back to Grand Central Terminal, I was grateful somebody bothered to invent texting. The gifted Miss Adriane picked me up and dragged me home. That was birthday-eve.
On birthday day, we first had to ransom my car back from the shop – I can’t complain; 100,000 miles on one battery is pretty damn good...

As the new film of Sound and Fury's Kursk reveals, capturing live theatre on video is tough – even more so when it's immersive, interactive or promenade
Theatre on film? Better than nothing, is my take. If you can't see a show in person, watching a recording of a production is a pretty decent second-best. It will, inevitably, lack all the trappings of the live event – both temporal and spatial – but at least you get a sense of the performance as it might have been. In fact, thanks to multiple cameras and zoom lenses, filming technique can allow an audience a better sense of what happens onstage, even if it can't capture the full experience.
But what about those forms of theatre where the liveness isn't simply brilliant to have, but entirely integral? Sure, a camera and microphone can stand in for our eyes and ears – but how do you...

In Game Change, the HBO movie about the 2008 presidential campaign that airs on March 10, Julianne Moore portrays former Vice President Sarah Palin as blindly ambitious, emotionally unstable and intellectually unfit for national office. Moore's Palin, according to David Hinckley of the New York Daily News, has "a look in her eye that you see in horror flicks just before the adorable 12-year-old chops her whole family into bite-size pieces."
In his review of the movie, James Poniewozik of Time magazine criticized Moore's portrayal of Palin as little more than a caricature.
"It's a lowest-hanging-fruit approach," Poniewocik says. "The movie seems to want to make a larger point about modern politics from the way Palin's nomination was used by the flagging McCain campaign -- as a shiny object to `change the narrative' and shift the buzz from Barack Obama -- but the movie itself gets distracted by its own shiny object,...

For those of you who have yet to see Stuart Gordon's superb 1985 Re-Animator and its 1989 sequel, Bride of Re-Animator, allow me to introduce you to Doctor Herbert West, the titular Re-Animator, portrayed by the one and only Jeffrey Combs. What is Combs up to these days? We were lucky enough to catch up with him for an exclusive interview to find out.
Before we look forward, however, let's take a quick look back at Combs' career:
Through his seriously questionable research and macabre experiments in Re-Animator, Combs' Doctor West pioneers a serum that brings dead tissue back to life – often with disastrous consequences. Playing a man dangling so precariously on the edge of genius and lunacy -"I will not be shackled by the failures of your God!" - is no cakewalk for any actor, but Jeffrey relished the challenge, turning out one of the most entertaining madman performances...

In a year awash with superhero movies a new X-Men film was in danger of being overlooked, or even avoided altogether given the toxic slap of X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Origins Wolverine and yet here we are with me telling you that X-Men: First Class is tremendous fun and edges up to X2 as one of the best of the series. How did Matthew Vaughn bring this series back from the edge?
Taking us back in time is a smart move and the origins of this film lie in the film’s opening scene which is a continuation of the previously glimsped moment when the young Erik Lensherr enters a Nazi concentration camp. At one point the next X-Men film was to be Magneto’s story and in First Class there is a strong case to be made for a Fassbender led film as he is easily the most interesting character here,...

#Gift! It is the middle of November so it must be time to start talking about Christmas. CinemaSpy has an upcoming feature on 10 Blu-ray and DVD titles that you must have under your tree (or that you should buy in what's left of 2010 if you don't celebrate Christmas). In the meantime, we'll also be highlighting a few other releases that are recommended as gifts for yourself, a loved one or someone you wish was loving you. Look for the stocking icon and the #Gift tag at the start of our reviews from now until Christmas to spot them (we're including the '#' because we're now living in Twitterlight Zone). Reviews of not-so-recommended titles won't have that so you can read those later (be sure you read them, though, because we'll find you if you don't).
For our first such suggestion, here's the Blu-ray debut of the original (i.e.

Some documentaries are national, even universal, catering to a wide variety of audiences. Michael Moore's are a good example, treating issues like the meltdown in Detroit, the shootings at Columbine, the health care crisis in America. Other docs are aimed at a more limited audience; at those families with special interests in narrower subject matter. "Sound and Fury" is an example, which considers the debate between the deaf who want to remain deaf, and the deaf who prefer to be helped by cochlear implants.

July 28, 2010: A Santa Barbara concert featuring Hardcore legends Sick of It All was canceled by Santa Barbara Sheriff’s deputies and it was later migrated to Ventura County on the Sunday night ensuing an unprepared backyard party with 300 to 400 fans.
As per the statement released by the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Department, a big brawl broke out at around 6:20 p.m. Sunday, during the final day of the Sound and Fury Festival. The show was being held at the Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara; thus officers had to intervene and shut down the concert.
Sound and Fury Festival had bands like Sick Of It All, Terror, Strife.

Sound and fury signifying nothing; that.s Robin Hood in a nutshell. Ridley Scott helming, Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett starring and it comes up empty . noisy and clanking, the stuff of headaches, sleep, and quick exits. And insult to injury, its blurry. Literally. The battle scenes are impossible to comprehend through the storm of jolting images and the rest is clouded by campfire smoke, ultra dark interiors and endless yards of fabric obscuring the people wearing it. Someone falls down, arrow through the neck, and we.re supposed to feel something. But since the entire excurison is little more than a video game in robes and chain mail, it.s not possible to feel anything. There is little effort...
