February 26: “The Oscars—Maybe” with Bob Butler                                           Bob Butler’s movie reviews are now found on his website, “Butler’s Cinema Scene.”  It’s mostly about movies but with an extra dollop of straight-forwardness.  Like the past 25 years, Mr. Butler will be at the All Souls Forum this morning of Oscar night.  We can probably expect some extra fun.
