(WARETOWN, NJ) -- On Saturday, November 15, 2025, the annual Homeplace Show will take place at Albert Music Hall, featuring traditional "Sounds of the Jersey Pines." The name of the show originates from weekly jam sessions once held at the Albert brothers’ cabin—affectionately known as the Homeplace by those who played there. These gatherings drew crowds from near and far, including both musicians and music enthusiasts who came to listen or sing along. Over time, they inspired the founding of Albert Music Hall and the Pinelands Cultural Society.

Given its subject matter, you might expect writer/director James Vanderbilt's Nuremberg to be another awards bait snoozer, the sort of film schoolkids will be forced to sit through when their History teacher wants to catch up on correcting homework. But Vanderbilt is the screenwriter responsible for David Fincher's Zodiac, arguably the best movie based on real events to come out of Hollywood this century. By narrowing his focus on two men, Vanderbilt has crafted a riveting film that grounds a global spectacle in the brief relationship between these two figures. The Movie Waffler

Artists have been rebelling against the frame for a long time. Painters put borders around their pictures and are immediately filled with an overwhelming urge to shatter them. Never mind that it is the artist herself who imposes the limits. Her images push hard against the lines that confine them anyway. Sometimes the pot boils over and the work spills over the frame and into the white space beyond, or drips down the edges and on to the walls.
