Greg Mitchell

We know you can't wait for the upcoming HBO film on the 2000 Bush-Gore finish, aptly titled Recount, but here's a preview - coming in The New York Times Magazine this Sunday.

Director Jay Roach (previously known for Meet the Parents and Austin Powers films) says Democrats who hear...

Don't Be A Whiner

Giles Slade | Posted May 2, 2008 | Politics


Giles Slade

Superdelegates are defecting. Maybe I know how Hillary feels.

The "critical success" of my last book left my family broke and tired. My publisher made me pay for my own author tour, my shipping charges, and thousands of dollars of photos they never used. They held onto my royalties months...

Condi Rice as VP? Richard Clarke and Dana Priest Call Her 'Worst' Ever

Greg Mitchell | Posted April 12, 2008 | Politics


Greg Mitchell

There was an interesting, if brief, moment of zen on last night's Bill Maher HBO show, when Maher raised the question of Condi Rice supposedly testing the waters to be picked as John McCain's running mate.

Jason Alexander chortled but then Dana Priest of The Washington Post -- who...

Sunday Night History

Marvin Kitman | Posted April 10, 2008 | Entertainment


Marvin Kitman

A quintessential commentary on the state of historical literacy in the nation today was heard the other morning on the show that replaced Don Imus, "Boomer and Carton In the Morning" on Sports Radio 66 WFAN. The episode on the station, which through syndication spread Imus across the nation, featured...

Stop-Loss: Another Hollywood Iraq Film Misses the Mark

Paul Rieckhoff | Posted March 31, 2008 | Politics


Paul Rieckhoff

Stop-Loss is Hollywood's latest attempt to define the Iraq War and the American troops who have fought in it. And is it the latest to fail.

I'm not a film critic, so I'll skip over the weak script, melodramatic music, and atrocious "southern" accents. But I feel an...

DVDs: Is Tim Burton Any Good?

Michael Giltz | Posted March 31, 2008 | Entertainment


Michael Giltz

Director Tim Burton is one of the most successful artists in Hollywood. He's a "brand name" director who sells tickets a la Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock and other iconic figures. You know what to expect: quirky projects, a strong visual flair, black humor and excellent actors. His movies are often...

Trusting Teenage Girls: What America Can Learn from HBO's Dr. Paul Weston

Sarah Seltzer | Posted March 31, 2008 | Living


Sarah Seltzer

Ah, teenagers. Every single person who makes public policy was one once, but the deep irony of our nation's attitude towards the entire adolescent age group is that we treat them like a strange species, and we have ever since rock 'n' roll and the baby boom created the teen...

HBO and Autism: Perfect Together

David Kirby | Posted March 25, 2008 | Entertainment


David Kirby

A lot of adults (myself among them) are arguing very vocally right now over the scope, cause, and impact of autism in America. Acrid debates over mercury, vaccines, special diets, alternative therapies and conceded court cases are flooding the media almost daily.

It's enough to give autism a bad...

John Adams: God Damn America

Steven Waldman | Posted March 20, 2008 | Politics


Steven Waldman

As I alternate between reruns of Jeremiah Wrights "God Damn America" tirade and first-runs of the HBO's John Adams series, I see a surprising connection. Like many of the Revolutionary era, Adams believed that if we weren't careful, God would damn us or at least withdraw his support.

At some...

The Wire vs. The Sopranos

Erik Lundegaard | Posted March 18, 2008 | Entertainment


Erik Lundegaard

I've been meaning to write about HBO's The Wire since the final episode aired nine days ago and now it seems the show's creator David Simon has beaten me to the punch. My bad.

Even so, while Simon's defense of the show's final season is dead-on, and carries unfortunate...

HBO to John Adams: We Think You Were a Slob

Jordan Michael Smith | Posted March 17, 2008 | Off The Bus


Jordan Michael Smith

Unlike the critics, apparently, I liked the debut episode of the John Adams miniseries on HBO. I'm a sucker for American history, though, and I will be the first to admit I'm not very discriminating in my tastes.

But even I balked at having Adams portrayed by Paul Giamatti....

Gettin' Wiggy With It

Jamie Malanowski | Posted March 17, 2008 | Entertainment


Jamie Malanowski Being the world's most reliable consumer of historical dramas, I obligingly clicked on HBO for the first two episodes of its seven part series on John Adams, which was titled, with no-frills certitude, John Adams. The show was as dutiful, as earnest and as joyless (and ultimately less moving) as...

HBO Teams Up With US Postal Service To Promote "John Adams"

New York Times   |  Stuart Elliot   |   March 11, 2008 08:01 AM


HBO and the Postal Service are joining forces for the first time to co-sponsor a multimillion-dollar multimedia campaign that is intended to evoke the pleasures of sitting right down and writing yourself -- or anyone -- a letter. The campaign...

In Virtual Treatment

Pamela Redmond Satran | Posted March 4, 2008 | Entertainment


Pamela Redmond Satran

Last night I dreamed that my shrink ordered me to parade in the park while wearing a tee shirt and a bikini bottom and leading an elephant.

Never mind that I don't have an elephant. Or a bikini. Or even, in real life, a shrink.

I'm in treatment...
