It is perhaps impossible to overstate the influence of the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci, 1452-1519, on subsequent civilization. Scientist, inventor, engineer, painter, sculptor and architect, da Vinci did so much that exploring his entire life seems a Herculean task. But that’s exactly what filmmakers Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon set out to do with their four-hour documentary LEONARDO DA VINCI, which airs on PBS over two nights, Monday, November 18, and Tuesday, November 19. During PBS’s portion of the summer 2024 Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour, Sarah Burns (Ken Burns’s daughter) and McMahon (Sarah Burn’s husband) […]Read On »

Dappen is especially intrigued by the intersection of wild creatures and […]Read On »

In screenwriting lore, there is a character often referred to as “Morris the Explainer.” This is the person who shows up in the story to deliver the exposition that there’s just no other way of providing to either the other characters or the audience. In SMILE 2, which opened in theatres on Friday, October 18, that character is literally named Morris. Played by Peter Jacobson, he’s the one who relates the workings of a malevolent supernatural entity to troubled pop star Skye Riley (Naomi Scott).
