Adored Richard Linklater's BLUE MOON, playing this week at NYFF and releasing soon. The film uses the breakdown of Rodgers and Hart's creative partnership to tease out age-old paradoxes between art and commerce, hope and despair, commitment and compromise. My review:

I cannot emphasize enough that TRON: ARES is a pleasure to watch and to listen to, so much so that it almost (ALMOST) doesn't matter that it stars Jared Leto, who is not capable of the Keanu thing he's aiming for here. Reviewed: www.avclub.com/tron-ares-re...
Tron: Ares is a blockbuster from another decade, and that's not entirely bad
Tron: Ares has cutting-edge visual effects and snazzy digital cinematography, but some of its sensibility is oddly turn-of-the-century.

A great artist, a wonderful teacher, & speaking personally, a close friend for over 50 years. Linking to a piece I wrote to mark his 80th birthday.

One of Chantal Akerman’s Best Films Is in Legal Limbo
The Belgian-born director’s 1994 coming-of-age masterwork, about a precocious teen-ager’s romantic audacity, can’t be reissued because of its needle drops.
