  1. ABC's 'Whodunnit?' puts amateur gumshoes to the test

    "Whodunnit?" is not your granddad's game of "Clue," nor is it a fusty version of an Agatha Christie novel.
    "Whodunnit?" is not your granddad's game of "Clue," nor is it a fusty version of an Agatha Christie novel. "CSI" creator Anthony E. Zuiker, for his first foray into unscripted TV, has come up with a show he's dubbed a "cinematic murder mystery of...

  2. SXSW 2013: Selena Gomez says 'Spring Breakers' was 'liberating'

    AUSTIN, Texas -- Among the most anticipated moments of the South by Southwest film festival was the U.S. premiere of “Spring Breakers.” Directed by provocateur Harmony Korine, the movie is a sun-soaked, head-spinning look at four college girls who fund their spring-break trip with a crime spree. The film has a good-girls-go-bad angle with young actresses Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson, along with the director’s wife, Rachel Korine, playing the girls -- as well as a wild performance by James Franco as a rapper/gangster named Alien.

  7. The Reading Life: 'Agatha Christie: An Autobiography'

    Last summer, while browsing in a used bookstore in San Luis Obispo, I discovered something I thought no longer existed — an Agatha Christie novel I had not read. Anyone monitoring my vital signs would have thought I had discovered the next Gnostic gospel or a lost play of Shakespeare's. Clutching it tightly as if someone might snatch it from me, I quickly bought it. I promised myself I would take my time, savor the experience and read only a few pages at a time. Instead, I finished it the next day.

  11. Book review: 'The Reading Promise' by Alice Ozma

    Alice Ozma's father read to her every night before bed for 3,218 days straight. "The Streak," as Ozma and her father, Jim Brozina, called it, began when Ozma was in fourth grade and didn't stop until the day she moved into her college dormitory when she was 18 years old. This significant, deeply odd, sometimes-embarrassing, often-inspiring accomplishment is chronicled by 23-year-old Ozma in a new memoir, "The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared."
