2012 | Best Film Programmer

It might seem unwarranted, or at least premature, to toss garlands at someone who's been on the job less than a year. But Keith Arnold had a laudable record on the Bay Area art house scene, notably as co-founder and programmer of the late, lamented Fine Arts Cinema in Berkeley, before he was hired at the end of last year to book and manage the precious Castro Theatre. It was an inspired choice, for the man has splendid taste, an unpredictable imagination, a gunslinger's guts, and a showman's... More »
2009 | Best Late-Night Movie Series

"Even the past isn't worth living in," snarled Graham Parker on his blistering 1980 record The Up Escalator. He was right, of course, which makes us respect the remarkable sacrifice of Jesse Hawthorne Ficks that much more. The genial but obsessive movie hound behind the regular Midnites for Maniacs triple bills at the Castro devotes himself to mining the culture-challenged decade Parker jump-started so furiously.

Don't Mess With Jesus

By : Lily Janiak | Wed, April 25, 2012

Terrence McNally’s Corpus Christi, a play that envisions Jesus as a gay man in 1950s Texas, has created just as much drama offstage as on since its 1998 premiere. The original Manhattan Theatre Club production generated so much outcry — and so man... More »
