I saw “Long Distance Runaround,” a documentary/video journal of Brookfield’s Dan Bailey and Simsbury’s Tim Comer’s adventure on a “School of Rock” tour with Jon Anderson, the lead singer from “Yes.” The doc, which screened last night at the Heirloom Arts Theater, is very, very funny, as the two recent Fairfield University graduates try to […]

I felt a bit tabloid-ish, but I had to ask him about Tom Sizemore, the great (but waaaaay troubled) character actor from “Heat,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “Black Hawk Down” […]
