Over the Rhine, The Long Surrender: Track 1, “The Laugh of Recognition”

Last updated on: September 27, 2012 at 12:54 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to post thoughts on Over the Rhine’s The Long Surrender… my favorite album of 2010… and 2011 (so far). The band’s website calls The Long Surrender a 2011 release, but since almost all of their fans had the album in hand long before we hung up new 2011 calendars, I think of it as a 2010 record. Produced with exquisite textures and depth by Joe Henry, it’s my favorite album of the band’s... Read more

How to please the young readers in your life: How to Save a Life

Last updated on: September 30, 2012 at 9:33 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

How to Save a Life, the new novel by my favorite YA novelist, Sara Zarr, is now in stores. I highly recommend it as a gift for any young adult you know who is willing to sit down, open a book, and pay attention. (I understand that we’re talking about an endangered species.) I’ve been following Sara’s work since before her first novel was published, as we met in a fiction workshop in Santa Fe. It’s been a joy to... Read more

Courageous (2011) – A Filmwell Film Forum review

Last updated on: September 30, 2012 at 9:33 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

I’ve had quite a few emails asking me for my opinion of the new film Courageous, from the makers of Facing the Giants and Fireproof. I haven’t seen it. And based on what I’ve read from a lot of respectable sources, I doubt that I will. But I’m happy to serve up some of the most thoughtful responses I’ve seen… (more…) Read more

Are you excited about Anonymous, the movie that’s going to shock the world by revealing the shocking truth? No, me either. Check this out, from a New York Times take-down of the film: The most troubling thing about Anonymous is not that it turns Shakespeare into an illiterate money-grubber. It’s not even that England’s virgin Queen Elizabeth is turned into a wantonly promiscuous woman who is revealed to be both the lover and mother of de Vere. Rather, it’s that... Read more
