The Kid? City Lights? Mr. Lane, did you

The Kid? City Lights? Mr. Lane, did you think you could capture the magic? Sorry, not even close. Nice try, but all your frenetic hyperactivity and awkward slapstick can't match the grace and charm of the originals.

While there is rioting happening over a taxi

While there is rioting happening over a taxi on Wall Street, things are much more peaceful a couple miles north as a homeless street artist(Charles Lane, who also wrote and directed) plies his trade while waiting for the IFC Center to open. As he observes the world going by, he also witnesses a brutal murder in an alley. During which, he shields an infant girl(Nicole Alysia) from danger. First off, I applaud Charles Lane trying to do something different by doing something retro where he gives the homeless characters the only spoken words of "Sidewalk Stories." And I am always a sucker for views of a bygone New York City, in this case, from a movie made in 1989. However, there is also the sad irony of a film steeped in realism having a story, especially involving one incident, that does not really ring true at the same time.
