A Pryor Engagement at BAM Is a Welcome Reminder of the Film Work of an Influential Comic Genius
- Excerpt: Pryor’s politically astute and personally confessional humor, mining his painful struggles with drug addiction and complicated relationships with women, found expression in classic comedy albums as well as films with varying degrees of quality. BAM’s series includes some of the more notable entries of Pryor’s vast filmography (40 films), all in 35 millimeter, and all well worth catching on the big screen.

Kimberly Gadette @ Womens eNews
- Excerpt: The “Twilight” series has passed into eternal midnight, but the Valentine’s Day opening of “Beautiful Creatures” births a new afterlife in paranormal YA romance. Yet, this is no Valentine if anemic teen movies leave you dying for something better.
