Articles: Harry Potter and the big screen

Posted by admin on Wednesday, June 09, 2004 - 12:31 AM

Lord knows, Go! loves movie critics and wonders where we'd be without them. Might we inadvertently stumble into "Raising Helen" thinking it was the feel-good movie of the summer when it's actually a stinker of a chick-flick? However, the critics lately have been barking about the "darkness" of the new "Harry Potter," to which we say, well, yes, maybe compared with other Harrys, but, really, now, this is no "Gothika." But it does have some whiz-band computer-generated effects that almost make you forget you wanna stuff Harry (Daniel Radcliffe, inset) and his mates in a trunk and send them to Davy Jones's locker. If you're going to see "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," by all means go see it at the New England Aquarium's Imax Theatre, where it costs $12.95 for adults and $10.95 for seniors, ID'd college students, and kids ages 3-to-11. NEA Imax spokesman Derek Threiner says, "It's like the first-class cabin, and it's only a couple of dollars extra. The magic of Imax is the picture becomes so large, you're really immersed in it. You become part of it." The Aquarium has "Harry" at least through Labor Day, and the smart shopper will phone or e-mail in (www.newenglandaquarium.org) for advance tickets as the theater's been jam-packed. Shows today at 4:30, 7:15, and 10 p.m.

Articles: "Avenue Q" Scores Upset Tony Victory

Posted by admin on Tuesday, June 08, 2004 - 07:49 AM

It doesn't suck to be "Avenue Q." The perky musical was among the big winners at the 58th annual Tony Awards. The quirky tuner satirizing "Sesame Street" with sexually active puppets and racy humor was the upset winner for best musical, book of a musical (Jeff Whitty), and original score (Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx). Whitty, Lopez, and Marx are all making their Broadway debuts. The relatively small-scale tuner began life last season as an Off-Broadway entry at the Vineyard Theatre and transferred to the Main Stem last summer. It became the first new show of the 2003-04 season to recoup its investment. The Tonys, which honor excellence in the Broadway theatre, were presented on Sun., June 6, at Radio City Music Hall in New York and telecast by CBS.
