Check out my "Friday Flicks" column, on Phoenix Magazine online, with reviews this week of the musical Stuck and of Wild Nights with Emily, featuring Molly Shannon as Emily Dickinson. Also check out my theatre review of Rochester Nights, the inaugural production of Theatre Upstairs here in Phoenix.
A pal recently asked if I was aware that James Mason had once appeared on a Sesame Street special, in which he had played an Egyptian demon. Indeed I was not, and it strikes me that when any two of the categories "Sesame Street" "James Mason" and "Egyptian demon" are present it's interesting, but when all three are present it's pretty much must-see TV. So check out this clip, from the 1983 special Don't Eat the Pictures: Sesame Street at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, about six minutes in.

The Notebook of M.V. Moorhead
- M.V. MOORHEAD
- I'm an award-winning movie critic, playwright, actor and director.
My work has appeared in publications ranging from the New Times weeklies (where I was a staff writer for several years) to USA Today, from Phoenix Magazine and Wrangler News and the East Valley Tribune to the Erie Times-News, Seattle Times and Detroit Metro Times to Rewind Magazine.
I'm that rare example of a living poet who has had a sonnet published in Weird Tales, and my poems have also appeared in Elysian Fields Quarterly.
I've acted in theatre productions in six states and the District of Columbia, and appear for about six seconds as an extra (a prison guard) in the John Waters film Cry-Baby.
I directed Shakespeare's Measure for Measure at Southwest Shakespeare Festival, and a short film called Holding Back the Dawn, based on a short story by my friend Barry Graham.
I was host of Another Saturday Night, a pop culture and film review show on KTAR radio.
I have produced, directed and acted in radio plays for NPR, KTAR and the Sun Sounds Radio service.
