  1. City Lights: The Oscar pool is on

    Everyone has at least one skill that doesn't have a practical use. Mine is the ability to name every movie ever to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. I absorbed that knowledge from years of reading critical studies of the Oscars, to the point...

  2. Back Story: City's historic black cemetery was moved to Carroll

    Several weeks ago, a friend of mine told me about the old Laurel Cemetery in the city's Belair-Edison neighborhood that had once been the premier resting place for Baltimore's African-American community until disappearing when the site was redeveloped as a shopping center in the late 1950s.

  4. Hollywood's outsiders come inside

    It's been nearly a generation since Quentin Tarantino burst on the scene with his raucous indie film "Pulp Fiction" in 1994, and Hollywood is a very different place.

  5. Laura Dern's 'Enlightened' approach

    Season 2 of HBO's "Enlightened" finds Laura Dern as fortysomething executive Amy Jellicoe conspiring with an egotistical Los Angeles Times muckraker (Dermot Mulroney) to bring down her corporate overlords. Well-meaning but hopelessly naive — "I'm like the Julian Assange of Riverside," Amy boasts without a drop of irony — she is quickly in over her head.

  9. They're 'Mortified,' we're entertained

    As a genre, the celebrity interview hasn't changed much over the years. The standard talk show appearance is home to the carefully sculpted anecdote. In-depth magazine profiles tend to pivot around a contrived field trip or two, or leave you with the lingering sense that most of the spontaneous ponderings have been shaped ahead of time by the unseen hands of a publicist and manager. The press junket doesn't even pretend to be anything more than the sales tool that it is.

  10. The lighter side of self-destruction in 'Cruel World'; 'Rorsky Plays' at Oracle

    <strong>"Goodbye Cruel World"</strong>
    "Goodbye Cruel World" The back story to Nikolai Erdman's 1928 play "The Suicide" is a real knee-slapper: the play was banned by Stalin's censors on the eve of its premiere, the author ended up spending time in Siberia, and its would-be director, the...

  11. A Glendale native projects his film dreams

    Five weeks ago, Matthew James Reilly sat for an elegant dinner at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes, on the French Riviera.

  12. Reese Witherspoon honored at Gene Siskel Film Center gala

    Alexander Payne wasn&rsquo;t the obvious choice to host the Gene Siskel Film Center&rsquo;s &ldquo;An Evening With Reese Witherspoon&rdquo; on Saturday at the Ritz-Carlton hotel, but the director and screenwriter best known for &ldquo;Sideways&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Descendants&rdquo; &mdash; neither of which starred Witherspoon &mdash; can say one thing about the Oscar-winning actress that few in Hollywood can: He knew her before she was famous. Well, A-list famous.
