Brimming with bawdry and smut, Paul Verhoeven’s “Black Book” focuses on the sleazier side of World War II. And what guilty, brooding cineaste doesn’t like a little Nazi sex now and then? Because he poses the odd moral question, Verhoeven’s movie—his first filmed in the Netherlands in over two decades—isn’t entirely worthless. Still, he puts too much of “Showgirls” (his 1995 softcore porn hit) into “Black Book...

...tones and precision of these works, but one can also perceive the artists’ own variations from Ruskin’s style.The centerpiece, and perhaps the best work, of the show is Moore’s “Peacock Feather” (c. 1879-82), which hangs side-by-side with Ruskin’s “Study of a Magnified Pheasant’s Feather” (August 27, 1879).

...testament to just how unnoticed their first two albums went. “Traffic and Weather” marks the first new release from the light-hearted popsters in four years, as their 2005 album “Out of State Plates” was a compilation of B-sides and previously-unreleased singles.

...Luke Wilson, tackling the lighter side of film comes naturally. He’s played the rebellious frat-boy, the sometimes sappy romantic lead, and the brunette half of a quirky, floppy haired sibling comedy duo. But come this Friday, with the release of his new motel-trip-gone-awry movie, he’ll take on a new role: horror film star. “This is obviously not the kind of thing that comes my way quite often,” says Wilson of his role in “Vacancy,” which also stars Kate...

...live in an era that is defined by extremes. For example, how do we live in a world that contains both the sublime musical experience of “Thuggish Ruggish Bone” by Bone Thugs ‘N Harmony and, on the other side, repugnant trash like “You’re Beautiful” by that ugly English man whose name I actually forget because he sounds like 1800 other ugly English men with strangled falsettos? Western culture is so extreme! I, for one, have always championed the stalwart Protestant notions of moderation...
