  2. Movie review: 'Leonie' biopic upstaged by woman's famous son

    In the biopic "Leonie," the famous artists in a Japanese American family — the sculptor-architect Isamu Noguchi and his writer father — are supporting characters. The "woman behind the men," Leonie Gilmour, steps out front and center. She's ferociously independent and unconventional, and played with a bright, chilly strength by Emily Mortimer. But one of the disappointments of the film is that she is, ultimately, defined by the success of her son.

  4. The year of John Cage

    Once, when asked how he thought history would consider his work, John Cage responded that he had made so much, getting rid of it all would be very difficult. Twenty years after his death he has been spectacularly proven right. This year marked the 100th anniversary of the composer's birth in Los Angeles on Sept. 5. As part of an international celebration, Cage's work appeared and continues to appear in concert halls, opera houses, museums, galleries, clubs, alternative spaces, reconverted industrial buildings, parks, street corners, atria and even a dock or two by the bay.
