You know the song. You probably know John Cale’s version, maybe even Jeff Buckley’s. You’ve heard it in movies like Watchman and TV shows like Scrubs. We’re not talking just iconic, but ubiquitous. But you might not know the number of revisions Leonard … Continue reading HALLELUJAH: LEONARD COHEN, A JOURNEY, A SONG

EMMA.

January 15, 2023January 12, 2023 Michael J. Casey

Emma Woodhouse (Anya Taylor-Joy) is handsome, clever, and rich. She’s also a bit of a wrecking ball—the kind who thinks she’s holding the world together when she’s the one holding on for dear life. And if she spent a little … Continue reading EMMA.

ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (IM WESTEN NICHTS NEUES)

December 11, 2022December 1, 2022 Michael J. Casey

The soldier is shot. One bullet to the head just as he was going over the top. We learn his name, Gerber, but little else. The year is 1917, three years into the War to End All Wars. But Gerber … Continue reading ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (IM WESTEN NICHTS NEUES)

THE MEDICINE

December 4, 2022December 3, 2022 Michael J. Casey
