I'm no Deadhead - more of a punk rock spirit, thank you very much - but even I can't help but paraphrase those hippies when noting what a long, strange trip this year has been. And now we're right in the middle of the holiday season frenzy and it feels even stranger than ever. I … Continue reading Holiday Vibes
Yesterday it was official: the United States voters have delivered a victory for democracy over authoritarianism. And for that, I’m relieved and grateful. The fight is never over, but this historical moment is one we should savor. Many people, including some of my best friends who are women of color, can finally breathe again. Cheers … Continue reading Cheers
What scares me isn't how short life is, no, it's the pain, all the pain. I don't understand why there has to be any pain. I adore Sukie Ridgemont, one-third of the famous Witches of Eastwick from the 1987 hit movie of the same name. She’s one of Michelle Pfeiffer’s most pure-of-soul characters—kindhearted mother, sweet … Continue reading Season of the Witch: Sukie Ridgemont

The movie is chock-full of … Continue reading Surviving Scarface: Elvira

That Susie Diamond. Susie is the role that should have won Michelle an Oscar. She won every other major award for her stunning, … Continue reading Susie—not Suzie—Diamond
It's been a week or two now since I revisited Robert Towne's criminally underrated neo-noir classic Tequila Sunrise (1988), and I'm still obsessing over falling in love again with both the film and Michelle Pfeiffer’s performance. A sharp Towne script, packed with crackling dialogue, along with gorgeous cinematography from Oscar-winner Conrad Hall and a stellar … Continue reading Tequila Sunrise
