CURRENT

Tex/Czech Kolaches: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Forget Jason Bourne’s death defying chases, or James Bond’s wit and savior faire. As in real life, the significant events in this classic espionage film are in muted greys, shadows gliding past us without revealing their true significance.
— Kathy Borich

RAINY DAY RENTALS

Cuban Roast Pig: The Good Shepherd
The gray everyday grind of the CIA’s early years are as far away from the sexy glamour of James Bond as fact from fiction. Not everyone is going to enjoy this glimpse at a shadowy world of suspicion that slowly erodes the soul.
— Kathy Borich

CLASSIC & CRIME

Schnitzel with Lemon-Caper Cream: The Lives of Others
Rarely has there been such a perfect film, and increasingly rarer yet, one that Hollywood has had the good sense to recognize. Though it is interlaced with references to the plays of Bertolt Brecht and the music of Beethoven, to me this exquisite German film shines with the spare beauty of a Petrarchan sonnet.

Footloose Foodie

From time to time your Different Drummer escapes from behind the confines of her computer and ventures out into the real rather than virtual world. But don’t think that I have forgotten you.

I may be traipsing through the silk stalls of Singapore’s Little India, enjoying a vegetarian lunch at a Buddhist monastery in Macau, China, or tirelessly searching for the perfect Italian beef sandwich in Chicago, but you are always on my mind.

Look for a new Footloose Foodie the third Wednesday of every month.
