  2. The man behind the people who know the story behind 'The Shining'

    You know the Calumet Baking Powder cans in Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining"? You know &mdash; the <em>Calumet</em> Baking cans? Lining the pantry of the film's Overlook Hotel? No, no: The baking cans behind all the carnage! Right, <em>those</em> baking cans. What's that, you didn't notice those cans, red and white, with the familiar Indian-headdress logo, what with all the rivers of blood and the axe-wielding and the bug-eyed Shelley Duvalls?

  4. Donald Richie dies at 88; interpreted Japan for the West

    Donald Richie, an American expatriate in Japan who became that country's preeminent Western interpreter, explaining its culture &mdash; from cinema to Zen to tattoos &mdash; in books and essays that illuminated the author's psyche as much as that of his adopted home, has died. He was 88.

  5. The story of the Oscars

    While it's true that there's only so much anyone can say about the Oscars, remember it can be said again and again. As a reader (and writer), I know by now that there are 10 abiding Oscar stories. Here they are, all in a single article:

  6. New TV series raise the style bar

    It's the throwback '60s style as much as the story lines that has made "Mad Men" a success. The AMC series, which enters its fifth season in 2012, ushered in a ladylike trend in fashion that has reverberated all the way to the Paris runways and inspired a collaboration with retail chain Banana Republic, and a book and HSN collection for the show's costume designer Janie Bryant. So is it any wonder that the big three networks are looking for their own fashion gold? Many of this season's new shows, whether they be contemporary or retro, are amping up the style quotient in a big way. Here's a rundown.

  9. When H.G. Wells met Orson Welles, Or: How typos lead to neat things

    The strangest part of this story may be that in the middle of World War II, 74-year-old British author H.G. Wells took a train to Texas to speak to a meeting of the United States Brewers Assn. I can't quite figure out why he was <em>tapped</em> to speak there; perhaps he simply liked beer.

  10. Revolution on the screen, on the ground in 'I Am Cuba'

    From 1964, a time when the world seemed ready to accommodate 33 revolutions per minute, the film "I Am Cuba" boasts some single-take shots so boggling, the following phrases showed up in my notebook: "How did they <em>do</em> that? A three-story-high tracking shot <em>above</em> a revolutionary martyr's funeral parade?!?" And: "Camera travels <em>down</em> the outside of the building, then noses in on Western scum drinking Bacardi by the pool, and then <em>into</em> the water!"

  11. Steve Schapiro, a fly on the wall — with a camera

    Steve Schapiro wants to photograph President Barack Obama, and there is little doubt that he will one day do so. In his lengthy and star-studded career, he has photographed so many famous and influential people that one can almost believe he has Zelig-like powers. He appears to have been everywhere, shot everybody.

  12. 'Not Fade Away' like a Rolling Stone ★★★

    "That pianola sure brings back memories," says Orson Welles, entranced by Marlene Dietrich's bordello background music in "Touch of Evil." A few moments of this scene pop up on somebody's television in "Not Fade Away," the wry feature film debut by writer-director David Chase, creator of "The Sopranos."
