  2. 'Berberian Sound Studio' picks up the sounds of violence

    No blood is spilled or flesh ripped on screen in "Berberian Sound Studio," Peter Strickland's disturbing satirical thriller about the dubbing of a ferocious horror movie made in the style of <em>giallo</em> directors such as Mario Bava, Pupi Avati and Dario Argento.

  3. Review: 'Van Gogh' and 'Tell-Tale Heart' have a crazy idea

    Opera was born to be mad.
    Opera was born to be mad. The first great opera concerned the demented Roman emperor Nero. In the nearly three centuries since Monteverdi's "The Coronation of Poppea," mad scene has succeeded mad scene on the lyric stage. They still do, as Long Beach...

  4. Stewart Copeland finds synchronicity in writing operas

    Though it's been 27 years since the Police disbanded, Stewart Copeland, its American drummer, remains best known for his nine years with the seminal British rock band. But that doesn't mean he hasn't been busy beyond the Police's 2007 reunion tour. From the mid-1980s through the mid-2000s, Copeland was a prolific composer of movie and TV scores. More recently, he's been writing operas and ballets.

  5. Looking for opera inspiration

    Like every other form of art, operas can be inspired by just about anything &mdash; historical events, myths, epic poems, plays, even movies. Often, such operas go on to eclipse their inspiration. Puccini's "Tosca," derived from a play by Victorien Sardou, is a good example; so is Verdi's "Rigoletto," based on a tragedy by Victor Hugo. But not all make that leap. Some remain in the shadow of their progenitors.

  8. 'The Walking Dead' recap: Let's have a little talk

    My favorite moment of any given &ldquo;Walking Dead&rdquo; episode is the moment leading out of the teaser and into the opening credits, when the buzzing, anxious strings of the show&rsquo;s theme song gradually crowd whatever is happening on screen off it so the audience can stare at some images of the world after the zombie apocalypse arrives.

  11. Review: Long Beach Opera charts 'The Fall of the House of Usher'

    <span>Philip Glass is prolific beyond all understanding &ndash; and he keeps cranking out pieces at a clip that even his own record label, Orange Mountain Music, can&rsquo;t keep up with. What that means is that there are lots of opportunities for enterprising outfits large, small and in-between to sift through Glass&rsquo; massive piles of score paper in order to score a regional premiere. &nbsp;</span>

  12. Woe is Poe: The TV show 'The Following' loses its literary grip

    Woe to Edgar Allan Poe. In life, the writer was ill-served by fortune: orphaned as a toddler, an indebted college dropout, Poe moved often, usually to dodge creditors. His beloved wife (and, um, first cousin) died <a href="http://www.bronxhistoricalsociety.org/poecottage.html">in the Bronx</a> at age 24; two years later Poe himself was dead. The circumstances of his death remain mysterious -- the 40-year-old left Richmond, Va., en route to Philadelphia and turned up five days later at a pub in Baltimore, where he was delirious, wearing someone else's clothes and was at the end of a deathly bender or something else that drove him into the arms of the grim reaper.
