Kirby’s January decision was abruptly announced in an opaque two-paragraph press release from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) that contained little justification for the change. The move to the Fine Arts Library made sense “given the historic synergy between film and art,” the comment argued—a seemingly peculiar claim to make when one is moving an archive out of a department focused entirely on creating and studying art. Moreover, as VES prepares to debut a film studies concentration track in the fall, it is a stretch...

...Fine Arts Library head Katharine Martinez, like other administrators involved in the decision, says they are “still in the very early planning stages” and will conduct a “thorough assessment of the program.” In the meantime, they say the archive’s previously-scheduled screenings will continue.

...company was founded in 1982, moving into the old, regal Boston University Theater.

...movie cliche, from the brutal, solitary casino owner and his cadre of double-chinned thugs to the gilded-heart hooker. After an innocuous first act, the plot quickly careens into a darker realm that can’t sustain the levity of the two main characters. There is some fine acting in this film, particularly from Paul Sorvino as the outdated singer in the casino lounge, but perhaps The Cooler would have been better served had the bright lights of the Strip not been dimmed so bleakly...
