FILM:
(Jason)
Not exactly a new release but I think everyone should see the film The Wackness. The film’s young star Josh Peck is great in it, and its equally young director, Jonathan Levine, is someone we should watch.
PERFORMANCES:
(Anne)
I went to see Neil LaBute’s play “reasons to be pretty” yesterday. Highly recommend it. Excellent performances by Thomas Sadoski, Marin Ireland, Steven Pasquale (Rescue Me), and Piper Perabo (ok, not as excellent as the others but fine). It’s LaBute’s first play on Broadway. It’s in previews now but will be opening April 2. If anyone is in NY in the coming weeks, please go check it out.
