In the introduction to this remarkable collection of works by and about Dylan Thomas, the Welsh actor Matthew Rhys – who played Thomas in the film The Edge of Love – reflects on the life and legacy of “the 20th century’s first rock star author, famed for his dazzling, imaginative poetry and chaotic personal life”. Thomas, who influenced Bob Dylan and the Beatles, loved radio and delivered a series of BBC broadcasts in the 1940s and early 50s which took in poems, short stories, critical appreciations and reminiscences of…

When the pandemic arrived, Joel Ross went back to school – to New York’s famous New School conservatory, where completing his degree included a class on the blues. It proved a resonant decision for the twentysomething vibraphonist, transforming his view of the blues from archaic 12-bar form to what he calls “a sort of spirit, an energy”.The pandemic also made Ross wonder whether his three previous albums for Blue Note were not too fussy, too concerned with “time and tempo manipulations”, a little daunting for the…

There’s a revealing moment at the end of this sturdy documentary about the Italian film-maker Dario Argento, when his daughter Asia remembers his state of mind when he came home from the David di Donatello awards, Italy’s version of the Oscars, in 2019. Over the course of his career – which is still ongoing – 84-year-old Argento had never won a David for any of his strange, unique films, such as Profondo Rosso (1975), Suspiria (1977) or Tenebre (1982) to name just three of his best known. But that year, the Italian…

Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore is getting a controller worthy of its inspiration — for better or worse. The upcoming game, a spiritual successor to the infamous 1993 Zelda titles for the Philips CD-i, will launch with a limited edition controller that resembles one of the largely forgotten system’s original remotes.Developer Seedy Eye Software (a homophone for “CD-i software”) says using the controller on “Classic Controls” mode will let you “play Arzette, as it might have played back in 1993.” That’s when the title’s…

Padre Pio, real-life monk, mystic and one of the big holy hitters of 20th-century Italian Catholicism (Shia LaBeouf), lends his name to this chest-beating, teeth-gnashing period drama from Abel Ferrera. But Pio’s story feels oddly sidelined in a picture that attempts to balance the monk’s ecstatic spiritual suffering with the events surrounding the first free election in a provincial Italy still reeling from the first world war. In effect, this results in a film composed of two barely connected story strands, cobbled…

The reason is that real life is more fascinating than fiction. In fiction, the author can do what he likes with the protagonist, but in non-fiction, you’ve to stick with what actually happened. But when you tell a story, linking it with a historical fact makes it more understandable, more believable. While I want the readers to know what actually happened, I wanted to make the story a little more interesting, so I’ve added something on my own. This is, however, a very small percentage. What was it like to be in the armed…

INGLEWOOD — It is safe to say that Snoop Dogg loves the LBC. The rapper-turned-actor’s new movie “The Underdoggs”, which was inspired by the Snoop Youth Football League (founded by Snoop Dogg in 2005), prominently features his beloved Long Beach Poly High School. “Poly High School, the Funkhouse, this is the most prolific high school in Southern California as far as I’m concerned when you think about the greats that have come through that campus,” Snoop Dogg said during an exclusive sports roundtable at The Compound in…
