BOSTON – Plans are firming up for a new residential development in the South End that promises to add 710 units to Boston's housing stock, according to the companies behind the project.
Called the Harrison Albany project for the two main thoroughfares that border the property, the plan calls for two new buildings of up to 19 stories in height, plus the renovation of an existing structure at 575 Albany Street, according to a statement from developer Leggat McCall Properties. It will include an unspecified number of "affordable" units, the developer said.
BOSTON – As Easter approaches, films about the life and death of Jesus regularly pop up, and older movies from years ago get a second look. Many of these are epics, often featuring actors speaking with British accents, a clear indication of a Roman period piece (think "Gladiator"), a heroic tale, or both.
But a different kind of Easter film will hit theaters for one day only on Tuesday. "Easter Mysteries," which tells the story of Christ's last days, from his betrayal and crucifixion to the resurrection, through music. Producers of the movie filmed the musical production in front of live audiences, using 10 cameras. The techniques give the film a "real-time" feel, eliminating some of the distance between viewers and actors.
