Directors Alex Gibney and Allison Ellwood have resurrected, cinematically, the pivotal moment when our country went from Mad Men to HAIR.

Vanity Fair recently hosted an event to celebrate the film 127 Hours, starring James Franco. Though I'd failed to get the one-on-one, I was determined to snag some face time with Franco.

The actor James Franco channels poet Allen Ginsberg in Howl, the part animation, part courtroom drama, part period piece about the creation of the i...

After watching style swamp content in Howl, I wondered what would happen to Spalding Gray's monologues. Would the beauty of his words die an obscene death on a screen of ripping horrors?
