...thinking behind creating her own cable property is sound. Oprah's Harpo Productions is almost as successful a creator of TV programming as she is a talk show host. Dr. Phil, Rachael Ray and Dr. Oz were all sucklings on The Oprah Winfrey Show before being launched solo into syndication. And she's not done yet: Harpo and Sony just announced that a show hosted by Nate Berkus, her interior designer of choice, will be available in 2010. "She has as good an understanding of media and how it works as anyone I've ever met," says Ken Sunshine...
...deadly drug underworld, Refn is surely more than aware of the parallel between himself and the subject of his sixth feature when it comes to making a spectacle of violence. “My name is Charlie Bronson,” whispers Tom Hardy, who delivers a superb, essentially solo performance as the eponymous character, “and all my life I’ve wanted to be famous.” For Bronson, it barely makes sense.

...Goto ’11, brother of renowned violinist Midori Goto, will join the Bach Society Orchestra (BachSoc) this Sunday in a concert featuring the music of Strauss, Mendelssohn, and Brahms.

This semester, Goto has performed in Kansas, San Francisco, and Mexico City...
Twenty one-year-old prodigy Lise de la Salle picked up the slack with her delivery of Camille Saint-Saen’s popular “Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor.” The solo piano passage that opens the piece—whose lack of a conventional orchestral prologue or a customarily slow second movement deviates significantly from the standard concerto structure—calls a Bach organ fantasy to mind. Sweeping broken arpeggios paired with a vibrant treatment of melody distinguished de la Salle’s delivery, though an enthusiastic orchestral accompaniment sometimes...
...always left out, feels betrayed that anyone would sabotage her own chances at fitting in, and he resentfully ends their date. Finally, Kurt (who is apparently trying to bring karate headbands back) feels slighted when Mr. Schue doesn’t give him a chance at a female solo, so his Mellencamp-loving, flamethrower-toting dad steps in to fight the school. After a mysterious and harassing phone call, though, Burt Hummel has to face his own discomfort with his son, and Kurt decides to sabotage himself, allowing Rachel to score the solo in order to spare his father more...
