Update: Some of us go bananas on snackfoods when we’re high, others rob their empolyer of $100,000.

‘The Spitfire Grille’ Opts for Emotional Simplicity
Maudlin sentimentality is acceptable when toasting your 90-year-old grandmother on finishing her first 3K. Hey, it’s quite an accomplishment, and let’s encourage the tears to flow.

Cleveland Clinic Debuts Yoga Certification Program, First of its Kind
Some may think that a yoga class at the Cleveland Clinic looks like yoga for old folks.

In 2012, Algiers, a trio of “displaced Southerners” who now live in New York and London, released its first single, “Blood.” A somber tune that features bluesy vocals and the sound of rattling chains, it sounds like an old spiritual rather than a tune that was recorded in the 21st century. “That particular song was…

O Wood Brothers, Where Art Thou? (At Kent Stage, Last Night)
There’s a sort of thesis I’ve massaged over years of seeing shows that has something to do with larger than life music being performed onstage by humans for other humans.

‘Dreamgirls’ Production Dazzles, Though Performances Fall Flat Throughout
It’s almost hard to believe that Dreamgirls, the story of the rise to glory of The Supremes, is now about 35 years old.

Sicario is an Explosive Cartel Drama You Don’t Want to Miss
The early word on Sicario, the cartel drama starring Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro, is that it’s terrific.
