...Garry Shandling to reflect on The Larry Sanders Show, his inspired comedy about an insecure, manipulative, talk-show host that is ending its six-year run on HBO this week, and he won't tell you about making people laugh or satirizing show business; he will talk about "the core of human existence." Recalling the show's origins, he will say, "I wanted to do a project that dealt in a deeper way with human behavior...I wanted to be more deeply challenged as an artist." He will mention his "steadfast vision" for the show--that it would...
...anymore. Then the film Swingers, about two guys making their way through the world on terms they borrowed from Frank's life and works. The past year also saw the publication of two histories of the Rat Pack; a pair of Rat Pack movies are in the works (an HBO film starring Ray Liotta as Sinatra and a Martin Scorsese film about Dean Martin); and a few weeks ago, the cable channel TV Land drew its highest ratings to date with a never before broadcast Rat Pack concert from...

Hanks, who starred in the movie Apollo 13 in 1995 and has had a lifelong interest in space, conceived and oversaw the production. It was an extremely complicated undertaking, involving...
...documentary 4 Little Girls, which debuts on HBO on Feb. 23 at 9 p.m. E.T., Spike Lee sets out to tell the stories of the victims of the bombing and to explain why it happened when and where it did and the effect it had on the civil rights movement. The film was briefly in theatrical release last year, and has just been nominated for an Oscar. Shifting smoothly from the most poignant details of the girls' lives--Scout badges, a first pair of grownup shoes--to the actions of historical figures like the Rev. Martin Luther King...
