  1. 'Breakfast Club': How a talky teen film became a classic

    I was in 7th grade when "The Breakfast Club" opened in theaters, and I distinctly remember thinking the movie was <em>totally right about everything</em>. I wasn't in high school yet (and that was surely one of movie's allures; a peek in a world I would soon enter), but at 13, I had suddenly become aware of all those weird anxieties, indignities and nuances that define the lives of adolescents, and they were all right there on the screen. Perceived slights as far as the eye can see. Rigid-seeming social circles. Parents who just don't understand. If only people knew the real me.

  3. The Contenders: Timothy Olyphant of 'Justified'

    "Justified" just finished a typically terrific fourth season that featured the Detroit Mafia invading Kentucky, a marriage proposal from antihero Boyd Crowder to his love Ava and Patton Oswalt playing a constable who takes it (and takes it) on the chin before turning into an unlikely hero and saving the day. In the middle of this chaos, as always, stood Timothy Olyphant's Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, laid-back and laconic, glaring and growling, one of television's most fully realized lawmen. We caught up with Olyphant recently at his Westwood home to talk about the show's evolution.

    Molly Ringwald's life and career are about priorities. There were priorities when she was young and spirited, torn between professional jazz singing and acting in what would become watershed coming-of-age movies by the writer-director John Hughes.

  8. Molly Ringwald: Pretty in ink

    One of the many surprises in Molly Ringwald's "When It Happens to You" arrives somewhere within the book's first 50 pages, when you forget that you're reading a novel by an actress whose films were as much a part of your adolescence as bad hair, chronic awkwardness and reckless driving, and you find yourself wondering why you haven't heard of this writer until now. Sure, you only need to catch her name on the book's spine to be reminded that this Molly Ringwald is the same one who starred as a teenager in "The Breakfast Club," "Sixteen Candles" and "Pretty in Pink." And sure, her voice when you pick up the phone on a recent Monday morning sends you right back to the terrifying halls of your own high school, your own after-school detentions, your own goofy friends. But the Molly Ringwald who wrote "When It Happens to You" strikes you as someone entirely different. Someone you didn't even know existed.

  10. Molly Ringwald taps into 'When It Happens to You'

    Picture a film shoot somewhere in Canada. On one side of a swimming pool, the gear, the crew and most of the cast; on the other side, Molly Ringwald. They're shooting the rest of the scene before her part, so she sits on a box to wait. She begins tapping on her phone, and as the hours pass, that's all she does: Sit on the box, tapping. By the time the camera turns her way, she has finished the first draft of "When It Happens to You," the impassioned, clever title story of her first book of fiction, which hits shelves Tuesday.
