It only took four decades for Chandler Travis to crack the big time. The laid-back singer/songwriter/guitarist/bassist of both the Incredible Casuals and the Chandler...
It’s hard to picture a foursome other than Jeff Daniels, James Gandolfini, Marcia Gay Harden, and Hope Davis as the squabbling parents in the Tony-winning God of Carnage . But we couldn’t expect them to stick around forever. Starting tonight, a new cast — Jimmy Smits, Ken Stott, Annie Potts, and Christine Lahti — will duke it on the stage of the Bernard B. Jacobs Theater. Lahti...
I predicted table tennis becoming chic geek some time ago – after watching Jeff Daniels and his Tourette's suffering son playing in his NY loft apartment in The Squid and the Whale. Then I was flicking through some old Creative Review magazines and noticed how several cool creative design agencies had tennis table tables in their offices – not to play on but to store pretentious art books,...
Wonder whether you should buy this indie flick? Despite decent performances, a lackluster Blu-ray release and familiar plotline make the answer obvious.
Review: State of Play, dir. Kevin Macdonald (2009)Russell Crowe is excellent as the hard-boiled journo, Cal McAffrey, in this dark-coloured, brooding, slightly-grungy film that details illegal collusion between politicians and a giant, private defense contractor called PointCorp.McAffrey's colleague and occasional side-kick in the drama is the perky, ironic Della Frye (played by Rachel McAdams),

The Squid and the Whale – dir. Noah Baumbach Though I’ve often heard Wes Anderson fans name Noah Baumbach as one of the reasons why The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou failed to live up to his previous efforts, Baumbach’s solo endeavor The Squid and the Whale is one of the finer examples of the Sundance lot of American cinema in recent years.

Reviewer: James van Maanen Rating (out of 5): *** For anyone who suffers from the occasional bad back, a new to DVD film The Answer Man -- the first from writer/director John Hindman -- should be a must-see, if only to revel in the facial expressions of its star (a sublimely funny, nasty and so-real-it-hurts Jeff Daniels ), as he suffers the moment-by-moment degradations of a spine askew.

As anyone who takes spirituality seriously knows, it’s only natural for a person to experience ebbs and flows in his relationship with whatever higher power he believes in. But what if your career was founded on that relationship? What if you were famous for it? And what if…it ended? Badly, even? That’s the premise at the [...]
