I saw Trout play 2 seasons ago, and he clearly deserves this rich contract that should lock him in till age 38. Comparisons to Mantle, Williams and even Ruth are not unwarranted.

I thought at the time that American Sniper was Eastwood's rejoinder to, maybe even critique of, The Hurt Locker . I have not seen that film. What would be a modern - or even fairly modern - equivalent of Lysistrata , if that's even possible? You've mentioned Spike Lee, and you suggest he explicitly...

Mystic River is an absolutely magnificent film. I didn't notice the clerical ring in that film, I have to admit. Neither did I. My students did. I've always felt that in Gran Torino (cf. the confession and crucifixion scenes), Eastwood was making amends for what he perceived as his past offenses as...

Sean Penn said about Eastwood after making the deep Mystic River : "the least disappointing American icon I ever met." I am fascinated by the religious allusions in Eastwood's films: e.g. the death scene in Gran Torino . The clerical ring worn by Dave's pedophile kidnapper in Mystic River. The premi...

Black Panther is a tour de force of filmic art which should have won Best Picture this year.

It grabbed me all 5 times in each format, and I hate superh...

Reconnecting excitedly with Aristophanes's Lysistrata which, along with Oscar Wilde's Earnest , is the most perfect satirical comedy I've ever read.
