By Sean O’Connell Mondo, the art boutique arm of the Alamo Drafthouse, has been busy catering to geek cinema fanatics who like to bring a piece of the movie-going experience home with them.

Recently, Mondo collaborated with Duncan Jones to commemorate his debut film, “Moon,” and his anticipated follow-up, “Source Code.”

Today, the boutique revealed two posters tied to Zack Snyder’s “Sucker Punch,” which opens in theaters Friday, March 25.

Artist Ken Taylor designed the new posters (below, courtesy of EW.com), and they have a retro feel that calls to mind the period setting of Snyder’s film as well as the art-deco design of the wildly popular “Bioshock” video games. The “Sucker Punch” po

Laura Aikin is in town. She is the Clarence High School grad who went on to star on the stages of the world’s great opera houses. She joins the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra this weekend for Richard Strauss’ famed “Four Last Songs” and Seven Early Songs of Alban Berg.

Aikin added to the Viennese ambience by emerging Friday in a gown that looked like something out of a Gustav Klimt painting. In a whimsical touch, she w

Abdul “Duke” Fakir, the last surviving founding member of the Four Tops, brought nostalgia to the latter-day Four Tops concert Saturday in Kleinhans Music Hall.

The last time the group was in town, about 10 years ago, three of the original four were there. Now, two more have passed over. It was touching to hear Fakir, alone in the spotlight, describe his dead band-mates: Renaldo “Obie” Benson, with the sunny childlike smile; Levi Stubbs, who with his deep voice was the soul of the group; and Lawrence Payton, the skilled musician who created the Four Tops sound.

His admiration went beyond music: “These men were great fathers, uncles and grandfathers.”

Fakir then sang “My Way,” finessed into “Our Way.” In the song he repeatedly thanked God for the Four Tops’ joy, longevity and success. The last original Top Full Post…
