Mad Men: Three Seasons On and Looking Forward

William Bradley | Posted November 21, 2009 | Entertainment


Mad Men's brilliant third season finale earlier this month is still echoing in the mind. And in the culture. January Jones was a game host of Saturday Night Live the following weekend. (Though she didn't make anyone forget Jon Hamm's great hosting gig last year. He is seriously funny.) Secretary...

Adam Lambert "For Your Entertainment" (19/RCA)

Ten or twenty years from now, when people are reflecting on the defining albums of the current pop-synth-glam revival, For Your Entertainment will undoubtedly be at the top of many lists.

This, of course,...

Oren Moverman delivers with The Messenger

Marshall Fine | Posted November 20, 2009 | Entertainment


It's referred to as "development hell" - that period between when a script is optioned and when it gets a green light - an endless series of notes, meetings and rewrites when the original script falls prey to the whims of all the chefs involved with creating this particular soufflé.

Behind The Filming Of One Of My Favorite Fantastic Mr. Fox Performances

Wes Anderson | Posted November 20, 2009 | Entertainment


When you're making an animated film, one of the big differences is that you can add scenes, change dialogue and re-write as you're going along because you only shoot a little bit of the movie each day.

A Good Cop Is Hard To Find: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

Werner Herzog's approach to "the truth" has always been fascinating, fearless, at times ferocious and to continue in this alliterative vain, faithful.  Faithful to life -- to its wonderful or horrifying craziness,...

"Bad Moon Rising": My Playlist For All You Suckers Waiting On Line To See The Twilight Saga: New Moon

David Wild | Posted November 20, 2009 | Entertainment


I will be rushing out to see The Twilight Saga: New Moon, just as soon as I finish seeing every other film ever made first -- and Zombieland twice.

Fortunately, as the father of two sons, absolutely no one is asking me to see New Moon, which I consider...

Project Runway Finale Recap Part Two

Una LaMarche | Posted November 20, 2009 | Style


And so, my friends, it has come to this. As Boyz II Men sang so soulfully, we've come to the end of the road. Or, the runway, I guess. Which means we're about to fall off into the lap of the Malaysian Prime Minister, if Zoolander is to be believed....

OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder Making "All the Right Moves"

Jon Chattman | Posted November 20, 2009 | Entertainment


OneRepublic frontman and songwriter Ryan Tedder has consciously followed the band's mega-hit record with a new sounding record that is more true to their self-perception as a band but may very well be everything that album's standout hit "Apologize" is not. That, as Al Franken may have said as Stuart...

Why I Love Thanksgiving

Bob Saget | Posted November 20, 2009 | Comedy


Thanksgiving is a time of family. A time of reflection. A time of giving. And a time of stuffing. It is a time when a man or woman, sometimes a slightly intoxicated man or woman, crams their butter-coated hand into a turkey's butt. If this act were to be done...

What I Like (And Hate) About Sarah Palin

April Daniels Hussar | Posted November 20, 2009 | Politics


Like many people outside of Alaska, the first I heard of Sarah Palin was back in August 2008, when John McCain announced her as his running mate. My first reaction: Smooth move, John. We wanted a woman in the Oval Office, now you might be giving us one. My second...

Mighty Movie Podcast: John Woo on Red Cliff

Dan Persons | Posted November 20, 2009 | Entertainment


The short form would be that John Woo rediscovered himself in returning to China, but that really doesn't capture what's going on. Woo made his name with such beautiful, dynamic, and surprisingly thoughtful urban crime films as Hard Boiled and The Killer -- pop culture with soul -- then made...

No More Sounds of Silence on the Music Composition Front?

Jonathan Handel | Posted November 20, 2009 | Entertainment


Everyone knows that composers and lyricists make scales ... now they want to make scale as well. Union scale, that is (or, even better, above scale). One of the few non-unionized sectors of Hollywood, composers and lyricists - the people who write music (as opposed to musicians, the people who...

Survivor: Samoa: Lord of the Gnats

Tallulah Morehead | Posted November 20, 2009 | Entertainment


We are right at the midway point of Survivor: Samoa. We began with twenty players; we now have ten. Our early villains, Evil Russell, and idiot Shambles, have grown into heroic (seeming) crusaders against a true villain, Evil Laura, the Sarah Palin wanna-be conservative lobbyist co-ordinator and Christer pastor, who...

Fight Club Ten Years Later

Kim Morgan | Posted November 20, 2009 | Entertainment


If any picture was the movie to usher in the new millennium, it was David Fincher's Fight Club. To me, it was the movie of the 1990s -- as prescient as Network was in the 1970s towards the future of "news," and as equally misunderstood. As Fight Club revealed and...
