  1. WGA list: Why are TV comedies embraced but movies dissed?

    If you&rsquo;ve been on the Web or social media the past 24 hours, you no doubt have caught some of the arguments about <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-sopranos-wga-top-101-tv-shows-all-time-20130531,0,4500137.story">the Writers Guild list of the 101 best TV shows of all time.</a> &ldquo;The Wire&rdquo; should be higher! &ldquo;Seinfeld&rdquo; over &ldquo;Sopranos"! And many such unresolvable issues.

  3. 'I'll Eat You Last' chronicles Sue Mengers' old Hollywood

    A Hollywood striver in the 1970s would have learned oodles from Sue Mengers &mdash; how to woo a client, sass a studio exec, host a dinner party, smoke a joint. And, had she pulled up a seat in Mengers' Beverly Hills living room one particularly gloomy day in the agent's career in 1981, she would have learned how it feels when the town's warm winds suddenly blow cold.

  4. In search of 'The Searchers' and the history behind the western

    The bigger the fight between a screenwriter and a director, the better the picture. It's an arrant generalization but not necessarily an errant one. Look at Budd Schulberg's battles with "On the Waterfront," or Robert Towne's over the ending of "Chinatown," or most if not all the writers on director Otto Preminger's best movies &mdash; few if any of whom could stand ever to work with him again.

  5. Steve Schapiro's photos in 'Then and Now' offer a mix of emotions

    When photographer Steve Schapiro first arrived on the Lower East Side set of "The Godfather" in 1971, there were rumors floating around that Marlon Brando was not well. Moving closer to the action, he noticed an old man in an overcoat and hat talking to an assistant director with this gravelly, sick voice. The rumors must be true, he thought.

  7. 'Gangster Squad' a stylish but shallow noir tale, critics say

    Taking its name and inspiration from a real LAPD operation that battled organized crime during the 1940s and '50s, the new film "Gangster Squad" dramatizes the story of&nbsp;Sgt. John O'Mara (played by Josh Brolin) and his squad's crusade against the interloping East Coast mobster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn).

  11. Movie review: 'Rango'

    A marvelous mash-up of Old West and newfangled, "Rango" rewrites the animation playbook with its eye-popping critters and varmints, and its hero's tale (tail?) of a chameleon desperate for a SAG card and a town desperate for a sheriff. What fun.

  12. Broadway: Bette Midler serves up Hollywood dish in 'I'll Eat You Last'

    <strong>NEW YORK &mdash; </strong>Almost none of us would have been invited to one of the famous parties at Sue Mengers' swishy pad in "The Hills of Beverly." Those networking opportunities &mdash; wherein Faye Dunaway could get cast in "Chinatown" between appetizer and desert, or the genial director William Friedkin could be leaned upon, on a client's behalf, over cocktails &mdash; were reserved for those greater mortals of the firmament. The "twinklies," the Hollywood superagent Mengers liked to call them. Of course, gossip never has been constrained by social class. But at chez Sue, the rich twinklies of the 1970s and '80s dished with the cold dishes.
