Area Residents Encouraged Downtown for Solid Sound WeekendBy Tammy Daniels,
08:03PM / Monday, June 17, 2013 | |
 NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The third Solid Sound Festival isn't just for music lovers.
Local officials stressed that the event, oft-dubbed "Wilco Weekend," is also an occasion for area residents to enjoy the many activities and late-night openings being planned in the downtown with the hope they will be dancing in the streets come Thursday night.
"Sometimes I think people in the community get lost in the sense that this isn't for us," said Mayor Richard Alcombright at a meeting Monday afternoon with some of the events coordinators. "I think we really have to send the message that it's for everyone."
Some 7,000 to 8,000 festivalgoers from 48

 NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts staff, students and Mayor Richard Alcombright showed off the school's galleries downtown to state Sen. Michael Moore, D-Worcester, on Monday morning. Director of MCLA's Berkshire Cultural Resource Center Jonathan Secor told Moore, the Senate chairman of the Joint Committee on Higher Education, about the upcoming DownStreet Art kickoff — scheduled for Thursday — and how it "came about from a real economic need in downtown North Adams." "Since the start of DownStreet Art, and Gallery 51 and Press Gallery, we're now at 85 percent occupancy for downtown," 0 Comments

'The Internship': A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the FutureBy Michael S. Goldberger, iBerkshires Film Critic

20th Century Fox Films Director Shawn Levy's "The Internship" is the sort of lighthearted ditty Bing Crosby and Bob Hope might have knocked out if they were making their "road to" movies at the dawn of this millennium. However, since the filmmaker has neither resurrecting powers nor a time machine, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson make good substitutes. The sensibilities of the genre are kept intact. Except that, in this incarnation, the starry-eyed, bantering best buddies find fun, dismay, epiphany and maybe even raison d'etre not in an alluring, foreign 0 Comments

Universal Pictures Odds are the flock of 15-year-old boys who excitedly drooled over "Fast & Furious 6" in the theater where I painfully attempted to make hide or hair of said sociocultural pandemonium on a recent rainy afternoon won't read this negative review. But if they do, I think they'll politely agree and then add, "Yeah, but it's great." A detonated piñata of special effects, it is of and for their time, and while it is a matter of conjecture whether franchise holder Universal Studios has created or responded to this entertainment 0 Comments

North Adams Art Museum Delayed Over Parking RulesBy John Durkan, iBerkshires Staff
03:30PM / Tuesday, June 11, 2013 | |
 NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Eric Rudd wants to preserve the former United Methodist Church and transform it into an art museum. But he hit a snag at Monday evening's Planning Board meeting over the city's parking ordinance and then faced opposition from City Councilor John Barrett III. "The good news is if you accept this application, the Methodist Church site won't be the site of a CVS or Walgreens," Rudd said, alluding to the potential razing of St. Francis of Assisi. Rudd envisions a free, public museum that will act as a "bookend" to the downtown full of galleries, restaurants and shops. He also hoped the Western Gateway Heritage State Park 7 Comments

Summit Entertainment If painstaking detail alone could make a movie great, then director Louis Leterrier's "Now You See Me," a witty, colorful homage to magic, would be showered with Oscars come March 2, 2014. But its chances for said statuettes go poof when it materializes into a typical tale of revenge. As consolation, it teaches us a thing about the hocus pocus biz. We think we want to know how the sorcerer does it. Yet, in following the tale of how four magicians come together, name themselves the Four Horsemen and larcenously wow audiences while confounding the 0 Comments
