The Iron Lady
Bill Wine
Meryl Streep portrays former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher in the biographical drama about not only the only woman to hold the post, but the person who held it the longest
The Iron Lady
Michael Phillips
Some movies arrive pre-stamped with a consensus opinion. With ‘The Iron Lady,’ the consensus so far is this: Meryl Streep excels as Margaret Thatcher. And the movie itself does not work.
Michael Phillips
With amazing cel animation, impressive vocal performances, and unforgettable characters, this movie reminds us of what animation was capable of before the rise of computers and Pixar
Bill Wine
The Devil Inside is a spooky thriller about a woman who becomes involved with a series of exorcisms as part of her investigation into just what happened to her mother, who murdered three people while possessed
Bill Wine
Set in New Orleans, Contraband centers on the predicament of one Chris Farrady (Mark Wahlberg), a legendary smuggler, who is trying desperately to leave the dangerous, high-stakes world of international smuggling behind in the name of protecting his family
Michael Phillips
Mark Wahlberg plays Chris Farraday, an ex-smuggler who gets sucked back in. A nasty drug lord is owed money by Farraday’s brother-in-law. Now Farraday has to get beaucoup counterfeit bills from Panama to New Orleans in a jiffy
Bill Wine
This dialogue-driven dark comedy of manners is based on Yasmina Reza’s play, God of Carnage, about two sets of parents who meet to discuss the playground altercation that their tween sons have recently gotten into
Michael Phillips
This serviceable musical contraption takes place in a hard-hit Georgia town, where the multiracial members of the Divinity Church Choir take their act to the competition stage

Rosh Hashanah Recipes – Jewish New Year Recipes
Sweet-and-Sour Braised Brisket
When it comes to the Jewish New Year one of the main recipes on family tables is braised brisket of beef. It traces back to home-style central European cooking, and favorite brisket recipes often combine traditional sweet and sour notes. The brisket recipe I share this year also adds a noteworthy American touch to Old Country traditions
Brisket with Figs and Butternut Squash
I came up with this Brisket with Figs and Butternut Squash recipe one cool autumn day as I scoped out the local farmer’s market and eyed plump, fresh figs and beautiful orange-fleshed squashes
Rosh Hashanah: Mediterranean Style Recipes
Certain Rosh Hashanah traditions are observed on Jewish tables around the world, such as dipping apples in honey. In Ashkenazi and Sephardic homes alike, fish and sweet vegetables such as carrots and pumpkin are important elements on the menu. To these, however, Jews from Mediterranean lands add their own customs and recipes
Rosh Hashanah: The Honey Holiday
On numerous Jewish New Year tables honey contributes its incomparable flavor to challah, entrees, vegetable dishes and, of course, desserts. With honey’s history, symbolism and importance in the Torah, it’s not surprising that honey cake has become a prized Rosh Hashanah sweet. Here’s a set of Rosh Hashanah recipes worth trying
Roast Chicken Breasts with Raisins & Couscous
With Rosh Hashanah coming in just a few days, it’s that time of year again when many of my friends and restaurant customers ask me the perennial question: Do you have any ideas for something different I can cook for the Jewish New Year?
Like all new year celebrations, the Jewish new year Rosh Hashana marks a time of beginning. During a recent visit to Israel, I discovered the following recipes that we can assume were eaten during the early Rosh Hashana holidays celebrated
Noodle Kugel: A Pudding Like No Other
Children and adults all love my slightly sweet, noodle pudding rendition. Cream cheese, sour cream and cottage cheese are added to the eggs to form smooth custard. I like to use apples since they are abundant this time of year, but you can substitute pears, peaches or even canned crushed pineapple
Cheesecake with Caramelized Apples
Now, I realize that some readers celebrating Rosh Hashanah won’t be able to enjoy this dairy dessert after a meal featuring meat, owing to their observance of Jewish dietary laws. But the recipe is so delicious that it’s reason enough for planning a dairy dinner. And it’s certainly worth making to enjoy for breakfast on Rosh Hashanah morning with coffee, tea, or milk
Many Jews serve apples as their first fruit, but in hotter climates, fruits such as pomegranate, tamarind, fig, and dates are more commonly used. Syrian Jews regard dates as a symbol of sweetness for the year to come. And Sephardic Jews the world over treat the date as one of the seven fruits and vegetables that are blessed to start the New Year
