‘Wonka’: When classic kids books become winning Hollywood movies

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:31:36 GMT

Once upon a time, there was this dapper lad – an astute chocolate connoisseur – who went on a quest to come up with the right recipe for the best sweets.That could serve as the opening line for a novelization of one of this holiday season’s most anticipated confections, “Wonka,” director Paul King’s eye-popping origin story for the iconic character, Willy Wonka, created by author Roald Dahl. He’s that quirky guy and talented chocolatier who stole the show in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”The film opens Friday.Starring heartthrob Timothée Chalamet as a younger version of that character, “Wonka” is an original work that follows in a long tradition of movies adapted from beloved children’s books.It’s fertile ground to harvest from, with a crop that includes J.M. Barrie’s eternally youthful creation Peter Pan, a character who’s appeared in many film and stage  incarnations — and on to Dodie Smith’s “The One Hundred and One Dalmatians,” which was adapted by ...

Review: ‘Sondheim’ delivers worthy tribute to Broadway legend

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:31:36 GMT

Watching archived interviews with Stephen Sondheim lends itself to a faulty conclusion — he’s just an ordinary, regular guy. There he is, lying down on the couch in a faded blue polo, his favorite pencil matching his shirt color. On the coffee table beside him is an electric sharpener which he keeps terribly busy.The whole approach just feels so nonchalant and ironic. To think this might have been how he was chillin’ when he penned “Follies,” “Merrily We Roll Along,” “Assassins,” or  “Sweeney Todd” is astounding. In these moments, Sondheim comes across as a really cool uncle who just happens to be changing the course of theater history with every new composition, all while properly resting.Yeah, no big whoop.The strength of San Jose Playhouse’s production of “Sondheim on Sondheim” is how it exudes the tenderness that surrounds the late composer and lyricist, a giant in the field who was never really known for hummable, commercial hits. Originally conceived and directed by coll...

Special counsel asks high court to rule on Trump’s immunity

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:31:36 GMT

By Mark Sherman and Eric Tucker | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday asked the Supreme Court to take up and rule quickly on whether former President Donald Trump can be prosecuted on charges he plotted to overturn the 2020 election results.A federal judge ruled the case could go forward, but Trump, 2024 Republican presidential primary front-runner, signaled he would ask the federal appeals court in Washington to reverse that outcome.Smith is attempting to bypass the appeals court. The request filed Monday for the Supreme Court to take up the matter directly reflects Smith’s desire to keep the trial, currently set for March 4, on track and to prevent any delays that could push back the case until after next year’s presidential election.“This case presents a fundamental question at the heart of our democracy: whether a former President is absolutely immune from federal prosecution for crimes committed while in office or is constitutiona...
