Rachel Zoe on Brad Goreski: ‘It’s Not the First Time I’ve Been Used’
The best thing about going back to work on Tuesday after Labor Day is that everyone will have to put their white jeans away because IT IS A RULE. Kidding!

‘Sons of Anarchy’ season premiere: Don’t look back
Those of you hoping to ease back into “Sons of Anarchy” with the Season 4 premiere are A) probably disappointed and B) probably watching the wrong show. Fourteen months have passed in “SOA” time since the end of last season, but there’s next to no looking back in the jam-packed 90-minute premiere. By the end [...]
The Final Weekend of Summer Movie Season 2011
Apollo 18: Call it “The Blair Witch Project … in Space!” or “Paranormal Activity … with Aliens!” but this “found footage” mockumentary is based in fact. NASA did stop sending manned space flights to the moon after Apollo 17 in 1972, despite the advance planning for three more missions. This movie posits that the 18th [...]
Review Of Dead Island
Remember the Dead Island teaser trailer? Of course you do. It “went viral” as marketing people with spreadsheets like to say. That means everybody saw it, posted it on Facebook, emailed it to their friends and said, “Hey, what’s this Dead Island game all about?”Played in reverse, we saw how a pretty young girl’s fatal [...]

Graffiti blamed on school rivalry
vLouisa County residents and students have spent the last week and a half recovering from the damage caused by a magnitude-5.8 earthquake. But things were shaken up again yesterday morning when school officials found graffiti spray-painted on the high school’s football field and press box. “It was disappointing to see that happen in light of [...]
Temple Grandin defies the odds
TEMPLE Grandin is already a celebrity amongst the autism community in the United States. Last year, the diameter of that celebrity circle grew a lot wider thanks to the HBO biopic titled Temple Grandin, featuring Claire Danes in the titular role. It received 15 nominations at the 2010 Emmy Awards, winning five of them, including [...]

Christina Hendricks Talks Sundresses and ’80s Music
Christina Hendricks landed a spot on our list of celebs we love when she first wiggled onto the AMC TV series “Mad Men.” The 36-year-old Screen Actors Guild award-winning actress’ curves may be her most-talked-about asset, but she’s sure to get lashes fluttering with her latest leading role. Hendricks has joined forces with Latisse to [...]
Soleil Moon Frye really is happily chaotic
When my son recently started to write on our wall, I lost it. I was pissed. He knows that’s not acceptable. I yelled and sent him to his room. I know my parenting works best when I stay calm, but sometimes it’s hard to be so controlled. I lose it sometimes. Don’t you? That’s the [...]

Keanu Reeves Wants to Direct And Star In Man Of Tai Chi
Keanu Reeves gets a bad rap. It’s really easy to typecast him as a boring surfer dude with no emotion, but the fact of the matter is that in the right roles Reeves has shined, like in Point Break, Bill & Ted, and in the Matrix films. Sure he signs on for roles that just [...]
Red State: God’s Lonely Man
A blood-soaked story of a rogue evangelical Christian sect and their self-appointed mission to punish the deviants and sinners (particularly those of the homosexual variety) in their midst, Red State isn’t exactly what you would call a typical Kevin Smith film. And to be honest, that’s a relief. Although the Jersey-born and bred writer/director has [...]
Avant-Garde Theater in Iran – Art as Politics
To say that art is always political, even when it is not obviously politically engaged, is a truism often used by artists who don’t want to do the difficult work of figuring out, or owning up to, the (usually conservative, in the sense of contributing to the status quo) politics of their art. I hear [...]
