...tired, uninventive romantic film plot is born when a happily married architect celebrating 25 years of bliss suddenly catches the seven-year itch. In Town and Country, Porter Stoddard (Warren Beatty) is every post-menopausal woman’s dream husband. He’s rich and successful, not too handsome to be dangerous and blessed with an adorable charm. But suddenly things go awry—a flash of décolletage here and there is enough to evoke in poor Porter a supercharged sexuality. An unbelievable number of affairs later—not even...

...listener is Irish or understands a word of Gaelic. High energy fiddling and masterful percussion get the feet tapping and the head nodding in enthusiastic rhythm. Breathy acoustic ballads are interwoven throughout, and lead singer Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh’s haunting vocals are nothing short of harmonic bliss. Steeped in the power of an ancient culture, this music is a wistful tribute to a peaceful time before memory...
