In the new issue of Bright Lights Film Journal I have film reviews of Fred Astaire in Belle of New York, his not-that-good reunion with Vera-Ellen, as well as Tina Fey’s NBC mini-hit 30 Rock The Jazz Baroness, the story of jazz groupie Pannonica de Koenigswarter and her main man Thelonious Monk, book reviews of Chaplin: The Tramp’s Odyssey, by Simon Louvish and The Moment of Psycho by David Thomson. And, of course, Avatar. Whole issue, not terribly SFW, here.
