Robert Altman’s A Prairie Home Companion is based on Garrison Keillor’s unique variety show of the same name, which has—in various forms—been a staple of public radio since 1974. The Saturday evening broadcast was designed to be a sort of nostalgic, anachronistic look at small town America through the combination of comedic skits, live folk music, news updates from “Lake Wobegon” and fictitious “brought to you by” commercials from products like “Bebop-a-reebop Rhubarb Pie.” The show can be heard on public radio across the world, is often broadcast from special “tour” locations like the Hollywood Bowl, and has now been made into a movie that does it all a great deal of justice.]]> Guest Fri, 14 Jul 2006 12:58:25 +1200 http://www.highresyouth.com/articles/movie_review/movie_review_a_prairie_home_companion http://www.highresyouth.com/articles/movie_review/movie_review_superman_returns
After his five-year disappearance, the Man of Steel is back to saving the Earth and winning the girl, but will the action-filled Superman Returns be like all the other comic movies that come to life on the big screen?
