#OscarsSoSilly

Posted on February 8, 2017 by Mark DuPré

Jackie and Hidden Figures

Posted on January 30, 2017 by Mark DuPré

Foxcatcher

Posted on December 31, 2014 by Mark DuPré

Foxcatcher is disturbing almost from the first moment, and never stops being so. Directed by Bennett Miller (Capote, Moneyball) and only his third feature-length film, it seems the director is attracted to true stories (his other two major films are … Continue reading →

Second Thoughts and Two Laments: Philip Seymour Hoffman and “Alone Yet Not Alone”

Posted on February 5, 2014 by Mark DuPré

Philip Seymour Hoffman I awoke Sunday morning happy to be a Rochesterian. Our own Renee Fleming was going to be singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, and we were all basking in that reflected glory. Then the news … Continue reading →
