Man Down

I don't know when, if ever, I'll spend my time and money at the recently restored movie theater downtown. It's not just that I prefer live music to film. The game changed this year when DVRs became a component of basic cable subscriptions. It's transformed the way I use television. It took five sittings, but I finally made it through the French resistance drama Army of Shadows last week. And life became just a little bit better when I realized that the antics of the star of my favorite reality show would now always be just a click away.
