Red Sox - Buzz Talk & News

You may see a lot of empty white space on these pages; I see the weekend that I finally reached the bottom of the stack of comics that's been growing since I went to London for vacation. (And, good gravy, is DC a disaster right now. It seems lik...

The next time someone talks about superhero movie fatigue, remind them that the Brattle was able to program a whole series of films noirs celebrating their 75th anniversary this summer, and I don't know how many people were talking about "murder...

Back from Montreal, and London not long before that, and Hong Kong a little while earlier, and I'll often say the MBTA isn't that bad, but, yikes, while those places aren't perfect, there's a certain basic level of reliability to their public transpo...

Weather both nice and bad kept the moviegoing to a minimum this week.. But first, two ballgames which did not go great - on Monday, the Red Sox coughed it up in the 9th, leading to extra innings and eventually losing it in the 11th. Unlike the l...

Difficult conditions at Fenway this week. On Tuesday, for instance, it was chilly and rainy and windy. I got there late enough to miss the start but early enough for a long rain delay. The game seemed to be going well enough, though, and then...

You know what's kind of great? Weekends where everything you do for entertainment is actually pretty darn entertaining. The work-week started with Dragged Across Concrete, which makes me ponder the calculus of movie-theater booking - it's got a...

Averaging a movie a day even with playoff baseball going on, the sort of schedule that kind of makes my scrapbook grateful they didn't send my a physical ticket. It was a good week to catch up with some of the stuff that has been getting good rev...

They're doing a lot of renovations downstairs at the Somerville, and let me tell you: If they replaced the Museum of Bad Art with a kitchen so that I didn't have popcorn for dinner on weeks like this, I would happily accept the tradeoff. But, in...

Man, this weekend did not go as planned. The good news - Tuesday's baseball game was a lot of fun, a nice night, the score tight until it wasn't, the first game with Sale back from injury, enough 9/11 commemoration to be respectful but far from g...

Late summer is for baseball, ignoring the major releases, and procrastinatnig on catching up on the stuff that's worth it. I generally try and space my baseball games out, but sometimes they schedule the game with the Snoopy bobblehead giveaway t...

Folks, I'm looking at the Fantasia schedule for this year and breathing a sigh of relief at there not seeming to be many midnights. I am getting old. But before getting to how I can't stay up like I want to, I at least demonstrated that I won't...

"Yep, quiet summer this year. No need to really get all worked up about falling behind, let's just see what's coming this weekend OH MY GOD." Well, at least I proved to myself that I could do those five-film days, get something quick in...

It may push bedtime back an hour or two, but I'm getting "This Week" up before "Next Week". What can I say, sometimes you just have a lot of Star Wars opinions to get out. First up this week was Raazi, a distinctly Indian spy...

Didn't realize until this morning that I kind of missed the chance for a Silence/Quiet double feature this weekend. It was just sitting right there That Red Sox game on Tuesday was... not great. It was raining all afternoon, the sort where you...

Isn't it supposed to be spring now? Because it was cold out this week, whether in the bleachers at Fenway or killing time in Harvard Square before a show at the Brattle. I mean, I actually hung around work for an extra hour or so because that me...
