Original Starship Enterprise model boldly goes to MIT Museum
The MIT Museum has long been home to models and technology that test the limits of knowledge and understanding, but few have generated the fervor of its newest addition: the original Starship Enterprise model used in the opening sequence of the 1960s TV series “Star Trek.” Read more MFHO projects need better data Only 33 […]
MFHO projects need better data
The City Council’s decisions on the Multifamily Housing Ordinance (MFHO) must be based on reliable and comprehensive information: how proposed projects will add needed housing, and how they will displace tenants and create environmental and neighborhood disruptions.

‘Whalefall’ is more of a whale fail
⭐⭐ Rating: 2 out of 4. A strange “Jonah and the Whale” concept that’s even stranger in execution. It’s got incredible talent too, but none of that can save this cinematic miscue from submerging in banal blubbering. It’s essentially a one trick pony — make that “a one bubble guppy”—that lacks character development or even […]

Outrage and scandal: “The Devils” is back in theaters
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3.5 out of 4. Ken Russell’s cult-classic “The Devils,” which comes to the Somerville Theater this week for a limited re-release, remains a glorious cinematic affront: one part historical drama, one part political horror flick where the monsters wear vestments and call their cruelty salvation. Its graphic sex and scenes of torture earned […]
