'The Oscar Picks: Betrayed': The Great Goldberger Squirrel Conspiracy of 2017By Michael S. Goldberger, iBerkshires Film Critic
05:20PM / Friday, February 17, 2017 | |
 OK, maybe the Academy Award leak previously alleged to exist, the one the squirrels in my back yard either engineered or facilitated and which allowed me to successfully predict a good percentage of last year's Oscar winners, indeed exists. But first a little backstory for those unfamiliar with the bushy-tailed adventures of the Goldberger Squirrels.
Thankful for the assorted nuts I've occasionally thrown on the lawn to ensure their strength and safety against neighboring squirrels and other varmints who would illegally cross property lines to take what is rightfully theirs, last year the Goldberger Squirrels showed their loyalty with a bold act. Braving the gridlock caused by the

01:14AM / Thursday, February 16, 2017 | |
Before and after photos of the box at Union and North. PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Last year, the seemingly ordinary utility boxes throughout the downtown were transformed into colorful and vibrant pieces of art. Now, it is time to do some more. The Artscape Committee announced the return of the paintbox program, which is an art competition with eight winners decorating the utility boxes on North Street. The project takes the boring, gray utility boxes and turns them into public art. "We were so overwhelmed by the support of the community from last year's paintbox project. We were overwhelmed by the number of submissions we had and the quality of those submissions. 0 Comments

'The Comedian': Requiem for a FunnymanBy Michael S. Goldberger, iBerkshires Film Critic
03:09PM / Thursday, February 09, 2017 | |
 It's too bad I can't give you the Goldberger Guarantee for director Taylor Hackford's "The Comedian," an assurance of positive viewership I occasionally offer to close friends when I'm fairly confident they'll enjoy a particular movie. The warranty promises refund of the ticket price if any of those pals doesn't find the movie in question entertaining. I hate to be a piker, but, without releasing my tax records, rest assured that I couldn't afford to institute said guarantee en masse. If proved wrong, it would mean Hamburger Helper instead of steak tartare.
Actually, I'm more of a White Castle kind of guy. But the thought is, what if I'm

New Shakespeare & Company Head Strives for 'Resonance' with First SeasonBy Stephen Dravis, iBerkshires Staff
01:30AM / Wednesday, February 08, 2017 | |
 LENOX, Mass. — Celebrating four decades of theater and maintaining relevance for contemporary audiences is the focus of Shakespeare & Company's 2017 season.
With founding Artistic Director Tina Packer at his side, first-year Artistic Director Allyn Burrows Tuesday morning unveiled the venue's lineup for its 40th anniversary season.
Burrows wasted no time establishing that the company cannot program its season in a vacuum and has to recognize the environment beyond its stages.
"Some of us, and Tina as well, were just down at the Shakespeare Association conference in Baltimore," Burrows said. "It was a collection of all the Shakespeare companies around the

'20th Century Women': Vive la DifférenceBy Michael S. Goldberger, iBerkshires Film Critic
03:03PM / Friday, February 03, 2017 | |
 Folks who require a certain amount of shock, awe and disturbingly aberrant behavior in their cinema might do well to skip filmmaker Mike Mills' highly intelligent "20th Century Women" and perhaps instead focus on the 3-ring circus currently posing as our national body politic. However, if you're the sort who still believes there's room for truth, honest analysis, thoughtful contemplation and selfless, humanitarian goals, then here's your ticket to a sophisticated and high-minded respite from that hopefully temporary insanity lately threatening our democracy.
Rather than informing what "20th Century Women" is about, it might be easier to relate what it

'The Founder': The Original HamburglarBy Michael S. Goldberger, iBerkshires Film Critic
02:53PM / Friday, January 27, 2017 | |
 'I think my father would have enjoyed John Lee Hancock's "The Founder," an enthusiastic account of how Ray Kroc, a previously failed salesman, turned the McDonald brothers' pioneering, fast-food restaurant into a worldwide phenomenon. But while he would applaud the title character's passion and persistence, he'd have something to say about his arguable ruthlessness. While dad, like Roy Hobbs in "The Natural" (1982), liked a buck as well as the next guy, he didn't believe that business and integrity were mutually exclusive items.
Daniel Goldberger, generally a man of few but well-chosen words, turned loquacious when we had company in the form of
