...Faculty was the first disc I purchased. That is because Rodriguez, the mastermind of such blood-spattered action spectaculars as Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn, is, quite simply, one of the most extravagantly entertaining filmmakers working today. Crimson Arts recently caught up with the laid-back, low-budget icon at a college roundtable to discuss his latest madcap action-thriller, Spy Kids...
...quite possible that this latest news will push me over the edge. I know that e-mail has taken a lot of the Postal Service's business away, and I think that's rotten. If you ask me, that blinking e-mail icon is pretty cold comfort compared to the sight of an envelope stuffed fat with news and photographs. But that's progress, I guess.

For 78 years, Time has been the Somerset House of newsmagazines: elegant, balanced, highly polished, a red-bordered icon recognized around the world. How could we dare to change it?

Over a five-decade career, Koffman released more than 30 albums and performed with jazz...
...Reviving "Judgment at Nuremberg" may be the toughest test. This famous drama, made into an Oscar-winning film in 1961, is an icon of postwar liberalism, and author Abby Mann (who revised the script slightly for its Broadway debut) is a message playwright of the old school. Onstage, the work is rather lumpy and heavyhanded, especially since director John Tillinger has not solved the problem of how to integrate the cinema-like scenes outside the courtroom. And yet, "Judgment at Nuremberg" retains its power to move and provoke...
