On the screen…
The road from T. S. Eliot’s poems on the psychology of cats to the “Cats” musical to the latest “Cats” movie (which looks horrifying but also so alluring with its star-studded cast) is just as curious as the lasting appeal of any of these individual pieces of art. Have a laugh at these takes on why our feline friends are so mystical.
Grammy nominee…
“Beastie Boys Book” features a star-studded list of narrators, from Michael Diamond and Adam Horovitz themselves (of course) to Snoop Dogg, Wanda Sykes, and Jon Stewart. The stories told in the memoir about the hip hop group’s exploits are wild all on their own, but they’re elevated by the rich performances in the audiobook. “Beastie Boys Book” has been nominated for a Best Spoken Word Grammy.
On the screen…
The abundant kindness of Fred Rogers, of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” fame, universally unites a generation. This book full of Mister Rogers’ best life advice also includes Tom Junod’s classic profile of the beloved man. The movie version of Mister Rogers’ life stars Tom Hanks (the perfect casting).
Grammy nominee…
John Waters has a dirty mouth, and it’s absolutely filthy in his hilarious memoir. Living on the fringe of the mainstream has given Waters a unique perspective on American culture, one that only someone who failed so spectacularly and repeatedly could have. Waters narrates this audiobook version, which is nominated for the Best Spoken Word Grammy.
On the screen…
This sequel to Stephen King’s classic “The Shining” achieves what followups rarely do: It delivers just as well as the original source material in frights and imagination. In a year that’s already been jam-packed with King adaptations (“Pet Sematary,” “It Chapter Two,” “In the Tall Grass”), the film version of “Doctor Sleep” starring Ewan McGregor looks it might just be the one that shines the most, based on critic reviews.
Home for the holidays…
This book started as a simple Twitter account, in which the author would tweet out real things his dad said. The tweets are hilarious and outrageous, especially when read out of context. Their brutal honesty is a heartwarming take on the relationship between a father and son. (Hopefully your dad doesn’t say similar sh*t during holiday dinner.)
