Philip Seymour Hoffman – Intense, Accomplished and Gone

Philip Seymour Hoffman lured his stage and camera audiences with an intense hollowness, an upfront sensitivity veiled in the subtle, or perhaps the bold. He took his time to express idiosyncracies and complexities of character. He took his time to speak, to move, to breathe on stage. And now, his time has most unfortunately come to an end. Found dead at 11:30 this morning (February … Continue reading Philip Seymour Hoffman – Intense, Accomplished and Gone

Passion Play at the Odyssey Theatre

Wow! I haven’t seen anything like this play EVER! The show was so cleverly written by Tony and two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee Sara Ruhl who shares the hilariously entertaining collision with religion in three different versions of the passion in three different times and places:  England 1575, Germany 1934 and South Dakota 1969-present. In each act, town members gather to commemorate the martyrdom of Christ, and … Continue reading Passion Play at the Odyssey Theatre

The LG Music Lodge at Sundance

Another fun place to be at Sundance was The LG (Life’s Good) Music Lodge – to keep warm, to snack and drink, and to mingle.

The LG … Continue reading The LG Music Lodge at Sundance

13 years. Michaelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel in 4 years. The average marriage length in California is 8 years. Michael Jordan played 13 years for the Chicago Bulls. So 13 years… That’s a long time. That’s how long I have been in LA.
