“Childhood is not birth to a certain age,” Bella Swan intones in the opening moments of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. “The child is grown, and puts away childish things. Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.” Although she’s quoting 20th century American poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, Bella’s observation may very well apply to childish thoughts about the Twilight franchise too. For over a decade after the release of the final movie in the franchise, we can now admit the truth: the Twilight franchise isn’t about sparkly abstinence vampires, it isn’t about stilted dialogue or pasty, inarticulate heartthrobs.
It’s about the love between a wolf man and an infant.
To be clear, I say this not as a critique but as a praise. For all the hate that the series got throughout the period of its highest popularity, Twilight was never just...

There are times in nonfiction film when daring — and magic — arrives in a surprisingly simple and quiet way. “Hello, Bookstore” is a documentary about a venerable and beloved independent bookstore in Lenox, Mass. The place is called The Bookstore, and it first opened its doors in 1973. Ever since 1976, it has been owned and operated by Matthew Tannenbaum, a tall, solicitous, eccentric, engagingly garrulous lover of stories and words and literature who ritually answers the phone with a jaunty nerdish “Hello, bookstore!” Handsome in an eagle-ish way, with an easy smile and a full mop of gray curls, Tannenbaum, in his mid-70s, has the look and attitude of a debonair English professor, but he’s a more modest mensch than that — a boomer bibliophile without a glint of pretension, one who happily spends his days stocking shelves, poring over invoices he should have digitized years ago, and chatting away with his customers,...

In an era when someone can impulsively decide to buy Twitter for billions — and millions more will follow every moment of the timeline — A.B. Zax’s “Hello, Bookstore” feels like the panacea many people may not have realized they’ve been missing.
Zax is clearly among those who believe there is no better way to spend some time than to wander into a cozy, tattered, overstuffed hideaway like the titular shop, while chatting with its obsessive and garrulous owner-curator. And so that’s just what he does, while inviting us to put down our phones, and share the experience.
Matt Tannenbaum has reigned over The Bookstore since 1976, regaling every customer with stories about the time Tom Stoppard came in, or reading them a bit of poetry he thinks might fit their mood. His neighbors in Lenox, Massachusetts, know just how fortunate they are, and they are as dedicated to Tannenbaum as he is to them.

Mary Oliver, the poet whose odes to nature and animals made her one of the favorites of the modern age and won her a Pulitzer Prize, has died. She was 83 and passed at her home in Hobe Sound, Florida from lymphoma, her literary executor said.

Douglas Sirk's first American movie came out so well that Prc sold it to MGM, earning Sirk a promotion out of the Poverty Row studios. John Carradine is excellent - and underplays! -- as the Hangman of Prague who moonlights as a depraved sex criminal.
