George Harrison: Living in the Material World

It’s difficult to believe that we lost George Harrison almost ten years ago. Martin Scorsese's new George Harrison: Living in the Material World meticulously recounts his life story, from his birth in 1943 in a war-ravaged Liverpool, to the maelstrom that was the Beatles, to his solo artist years, to his later life until it ended way too soon when he died of cancer (although, as you’ll see when you watch the film, Harrison probably wouldn’t have believed that he died before his time).  read more

Boardwalk Empire Review: "Paris Green" (1.11)

When Boardwalk Empire is doing badly, it’s usually because the show is too controlled. Its writers always know the direction each scene is taking and they play out so perfectly that it’s like watching a Merchant-Ivory film, and despite the gangsters, booze and whoring, the entire show begins to feel so prescribed that it pushes you out of the drama. That being said, when Boardwalk Empire maintains its control but has a bit more subtlety to it, there’s real power in how much direction its writing has. There’s no excess words or imagery, it’s all a unified whole layering one...  read more
