...star: it's to somehow make people watch you when your body's at rest. Studying this actor doing nothing is a rewarding experience. It's not that he suggests reservoirs of cogitation and calculation behind his eyes; he's too stolid, monolithic, slab-like for that. Reeves, on-screen, is not a thinking animal, but he's a strong, wounded, wary one. You feel both fascinated and apprehensive, guessing with good reason that he's about to claw, bite or maul some other creature in his way. Armed or not, Reeves is the weapon that...
...variety, there are restaurants with the cuisine, the atmosphere, and certainly the prices to remind almost all Spring Breakers of the best trip of their lives.DaedalusThe national origin of the menu is ambiguous at every final club’s favorite restaurant/bar, allowing it to serve as a blank screen onto which Eurotrippers of most varieties can project their experiences.

His unconventional and experimental approach to filmmaking—which includes literally cooking film to yield different visual effects—has led to a long and varied artistic career. On Saturday April 5, he screened his seminal work “The Flicker” (1965), a black-and-white avant-garde piece. On Sunday, he opted...
Charlton Heston, the great screen actor who graced sets from the Egypt of the Old Testament to the Planet of the Apes, passed away a few days ago. A notable conservative who marched with Martin Luther King, Jr., he would later serve as the president of the National Rifle Association. Before the onset of the Alzheimer’s that claimed his life, Heston was often just a punch line for jokes about Soylent Green and gun nuts, but in truth he was a lot more than that...
