Adventures in Barrywood: Blame the shark for summer-movie madness
Orange County RegisterIn a world of increasing segmentation, allow me to add a couple of segments. As I see it, the world can be divided into two distinct groups _ people who were alive on June 20, 1975, and people who don't know what it was like. What they don't know is...Tags: Pacific Rim (movie), The Avengers (movie, 2012), Orange County Register, Movies, Iron Man 3 (movie)

Review: 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' from Orlando Philharmonic/Orlando Shakespeare Theater

Maryland Symphony Orchestra: 'A Night at the Movies with the Music of John Williams'
katec@herald-mail.comSo picture this: You go to the movies and there is no soundtrack accompanying the film. No music to set the scenes, to enhance the moods, to heighten the suspense. Do you think the impact would be the same as if there were a musical score to guide you...Tags: War Horse (movie), Entertainment Events, Academy Awards, Star Wars (movie), The Wall Street Journal

Movie secrets are there, in the script!
You know what "Star Wars" is about? I mean, really about? Vietnam. It's a critical allegory of the war: The Rebels are the scrappy Viet Cong, hastily assembled, devoted and relentless; the Empire is the American military, tripped up by an enemy using...

To the screen, and back again
