La Vida L.A.: Hollywood Forever’s Baaaack
Last summer, I discovered one of the best things about living in Los Angeles: watching movies in a graveyard. And not just any graveyard—it’s the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Santa Monica Boulevard. Where other cities hold movie screenings in normal places like parks or rooftops and such, L.A. takes the darkly glamorous route and shows [...]
Lost Season Five Finale: You’ve Shark Jumped On Me
Lost, I am not sure when it happened. But lately when I look at you, I feel nothing. No inward stirrings, no heart palpitations, no jittery nerves. There were fleeting moments that recaptured our early days of romance, like when you ditched the time traveling stunt and got back to the good ol’ fashioned flashback, [...]
Michael Emerson from Lost is Awesome
Michael Emerson, who plays the evil/maybe good Benjamin Linus, was on Jimmy Fallon last week. Emerson revealed that he was an illustrator before being an actor, and then he demonstrated why he is such a brilliant actor by reading, of all things, “Little Boy Lost.” Like his “Lost” performances, his reading was arch, humorous and [...]

Oscar Watch: Robert Downey Jr.
When he was still the toast of Hollywood, Robert Downey Jr. received an Academy Award nomination for his work as Charlie Chaplin in 1992′s Chaplin. He didn’t win, and spent many of the years since then battling drug and alcohol addiction. But over the last few years Downey Jr. has resurrected his career– and his [...]
Best Picture: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Executed correctly, Benjamin Button could have been as epic as the story it tries to tell. But under David Fincher’s plodding, emotionless direction, and at the behest of an episodic plot that inches along bit by bit, Benjamin Button is overly long and finishes flat. Hamstrung by the same sentimentality that soiled Forrest Gump (also [...]
