Bottle Grove Review

“Nothing is believably conjured to life in Bottle Grove. No spell is cast, no character takes root in the reader’s heart. Captive to Handler’s cleverness, to his allusive play and lack of rigor, the reader tries to make sense of the proceedings, to no avail."

Wrinkles The Clown

It started with a surveillance video uploaded on YouTube in 2014. The video's description claims that the clown's name is Wrinkles, that he lives in Florida, and that he is hired by children's parents to punish kids who misbehave. After the video went viral, other mysterious videos popped up online...Wrinkles pushing a cart through a parking lot. Waving alongside a busy highway. Holding balloons in front of a suburban home. The unsettling clips launched WRINKLES THE CLOWN to internet infamy. Cryptic stickers with a phone number were plastered on telephone poles and in bathrooms across the state, promising to terrify misbehaving children. Over 1 million voicemails were left. Wrinkles the Clown follows this eerie real-life character and explores the unpredictable spread of imagination in the internet age.

The Daytrippers: The Criterion Collection

With its droll humor and bittersweet emotional heft, the feature debut of writer-director Greg Mottola announced the arrival of an unassumingly sharp-witted new talent on the 1990s indie scene. When she discovers a love letter written to her husband (Stanley Tucci) by an unknown paramour, the distraught Eliza (Hope Davis) turns to her tight-knit Long Island family for advice. Soon the entire clan—strong-willed mom (Anne Meara), taciturn dad (Pat McNamara), and jaded sister (Parker Posey) with pretentious boyfriend (Liev Schreiber) in tow—has squeezed into a station wagon and headed into Manhattan to find out the truth, kicking off a one-crazy-day odyssey full of unexpected detours and life-changing revelations.

Bob Dylan’s “Tarantula,” as read by actor Will Patton

The music of Bob Dylan has always been poetic. Bob dabbed in actual poetry with his infamous 1971 Tarantula book of prose. Critics did not respond in kind throughout the years.

Tarantula is more of a tribute to Arthur Rimbaud's prose style. Will Patton breathes new life into this body of work as he reads the lesser-known work of Bob Dylan.
