I have seen a lot of stage plays in my time, but never one performed comic book style. Macon City now playing at The Naked Stage on the campus of Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida takes a chance on the tricky art form and comes up a winner.
Completely engrossed is the only way I can describe my seeing The Baader Meinhof Complex. The film is based on a true story that shows the effects of terrorism and the determination of left-wing extremists. Insightful yet despotic the film made me cringe at times seeing the lengths and means terrorists will go to make their point. It’s an astonishing film that reaches deep into the gut of an activist group that really changed Germany over a ten-year span starting in the late 60’s and brought the meaning of terrorism to the forefront.
Seeing Michael Jackson on stage in This Is It, happy and in control, made me wonder what could have happened to this wonderful man. I was in total awe watching him create a final concert from his vision and the way Michael threw himself into his work. The film is a must see for Jackson fans, pop music lovers and for those who want a last endearing look at the King of Pop.
