New Release Review - "The Front Room"
 

Of all the isms, ageism might be the most baffling. If we're lucky, we're all going to be old some day so discriminating against the elderly means we're only making things tougher for our future selves. It's like if white people knew they were going to turn black when they hit 65 yet continued to be racist. And yet, possibly because of its disconnect from race, gender or sexuality, ageism is the most acceptable and unquestioned form of prejudice, so much so that in our supposedly enlightened modern times we still get movies that mock the elderly for cheap laughs.

EVENT PREVIEWS

Lucrecia

Lucrecia Pays Homage to Former Bergen County Resident and Reigning Queen of Salsa, Celia Cruz

"Life is a carnival! It's much more beautiful to live it singing." If you're unfamiliar with my life's mantra, perhaps you’d recognize it if I were instead to say "la vida es un carnaval, es más bello vivir cantando." Now put a salsa beat under it and add the iconic voice of the Queen herself, Celia Cruz. Sound familiar? One would hope.
