Review: A Minecraft Movie

2 weeks ago | chicagoreader.com | Maxwell Rabb

A Minecraft Movie knows it was crafted from a video game with no real story—and it spends all 101 minutes scrambling to prove it deserves to be a movie at all. Instead of unearthing any real treasure, the movie digs itself a hole so deep in references, chaotic plotting, and forced humor that not even a diamond pickax could save it.

A lot of Americans want to stick it to Big Pharma. Or, really, to the rich in general. “Eat the rich” movies and memes are saturating our media streams, from Rian Johnson’s Knives Out (2019)to tweets turning alleged health-care CEO–shooter Luigi Mangione into a “baby girl”-type folk hero. It’s an enticing premise that Hollywood and many contemporary filmmakers intend to capitalize on—and the irony is not lost on anyone.
How Late Abstract Painter Lynne Drexler Became a Color Field Pioneer

3 weeks ago | artsy.net | Maxwell Rabb

In 1970, Lynne Drexler’s world suddenly became muted in color when a mental breakdown triggered temporary, psychosomatic color blindness. Yet despite this profound sensory shift, the artist never stopped working. Instead, Drexler sought solace in music, attending operas, like German composer Richard Wagner’s The Ring Cycle, where she sketched her impressions. Drexler—sketchbook in hand—became a regular at New York’s Metropolitan Opera.
