Porno for Pyros kicked off their “Horns, Thorns, En Halos Farewell Tour” on Tuesday night (February 13th) at the Observatory in Santa Ana, California.
Perry Farrell and company’s final outing is also their first proper tour in 27 years. The band reunited a couple years ago to play a few festival gigs and club shows, but haven’t embarked on a full tour since 1997. The farewell trek is set to run through a March 10th show in Montclair, New Jersey, with tickets to the upcoming shows available here.
Featuring a lineup of Farrell (vocals), Peter Distefano (guitar), Stephen Perkins (drums), and Mike Watt (bass), along with Robin Hatch on keyboards and Farrell’s wife Etty on backing vocals, Porno for Pyros played a 17-song set during the kickoff show.
The set included nine songs from the band’s 1993 self-titled debut, including favorites such as “Pets,” “Meija,” and “Cursed Female”/”Cursed Male.

In 2014, documentarians Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady stumbled upon a small article about the New York City-based organization Footsteps, which assists those looking to leave an ultra-Orthodox religion (including both Hasidic and Haredi groups in the Jewish faith). The filmmakers are well known for their ability to earn the trust of cloistered communities (from the Christian extremists of “Jesus Camp” to the tight-knit creative denizens of “Detropia”), and they had long been intrigued by the ultra-Orthodox community that makes up dense pockets of NYC, but had never found a way to crack its insular world. Then they found a program that assists people already looking to leave.
The result of that discovery was “One of Us,” a documentary that focused on a trio of Hasidic Jews,...

“EuroTrump”
Donald Trump may seem like a sui generis figure, a one-of-a-kind monster who was forged in a perfect storm of racism, tweets, and chaos, but history suggests that he’s really just a new breed of an old type. You don’t even have to look...

"Jane," now in theaters, took the top prize at the Critics Choice Documentary Awards
Perhaps if I'm too stay in the Bfca (home to the "Critic's Choice Awards") I should run for actual office within them. Why? Well, change from within. I literally never understand their decisions like awards ceremonies where there are no rules as to how large a category is or isn't. They have this same problem in their main movie awards to a small degree but their documentary competition is even more unruly/nonsensical. These awards, held last night in Brooklyn, had (pause for shuddering) 16 nominees for Best Documentary Feature but 10 nominees for Best Director and only 6 nominees for Debut Documentary and so on and so on. No rhyme or reason!
But herewith, this year's winners (links go to reviews if we've covered them). All of the feature film winners are on Oscar's long...

There are no talking heads in “One of Us,” Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady’s expertly crafted portrait of three ex-Hasidic Jews adjusting to secular life. Refreshingly, the interviews in this tense documentary take place on the move; there is a restless energy to the way Luzer drives around Los Angeles in search of auditions, or Etty’s furtive glances through shuttered blinds. The three subjects of “One of Us” are always looking over their shoulders, whether in precaution of real threats or just to make sense of the brave new world in which they find themselves.
Centering on only three subjects, Ewing and Grady keep the film’s focus narrow and intimately human. Luzer is the most charismatic of the bunch; an aspiring actor who got his start playing Hasidic characters, he learned about the secular world as a teenager by secretly watching movies in his car. “The plan...
