BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Movie Review: 'The Walk'

The real life trip across The Twin Towers is only exciting at the end. Review by Matt Cummings The events of 9/11 are still fresh in my mind, as if my vacation-turned-nightmare to New York that week happened only recently. Perhaps it's my connection as my birthplace that keeps me anchored there, but to know it captured the imagination of so many is the only consolation I can take. Perhaps the most stunning of those was Phillipe's Petit's high-wire antics across the buildings in 1974, which is now the subject of a major motion picture. And while The Walk looks good on IMAX, its small and frustrating story derails the experience. When the French high-wire performer Phillipe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) learns that the massive World Trade Center Towers are about to become the world's tallest structure, he heads to New York City to cross them before they are completed. He takes the girlfriend Annie (Charlotte Le Bon) with him, seeking insight from an aging

Movie Review: Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon

Comedy giant gets the retrospective treatment. Review by Brandon Wolfe While it’s entirely possible that the National Lampoon name is primarily known (if at all) by the youth of today as a moniker grafted onto the titles of a series of direct-to-video comedies virtually no one has seen, the legacy of the brand can be witnessed in just about every facet of comedy produced over the last forty years. National Lampoon changed the face of satire and subversive humor, creating some of comedy’s most noted stars and paving the way for such cultural institutions as Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons . Starting life decades earlier as the Harvard Lampoon, an Ivy League humor rag, the magazine was converted into a national publication by Doug Kenney and Henry Beard in the early ‘70s. The magazine made a tremendous cultural imprint with its boundary-busting humor and sexually explicit nature. This breed of comedy had never been given such a prominent national spotlight before, and the cont

In 1815, an American brig, the Commerce, was wrecked on the desolate coast fringing the Western Sahara. Starving and dying of thirst, its 12 man crew were captured, stripped, beaten and enslaved, kept barely alive on camel blood and urine. Five were never to be seen again, the others sold to a succession of tribesmen who bought and bartered each man for as little as a tattered blanket. An Arab trader, Sidi Hamet, then bought Captain James Riley (Crowe) and some of his men, aiming
