  1. Patt Morrison Asks: The poet, W.S. Merwin

    An Idaho resort hotel's verdure is not the wild tumble around W.S. Merwin's beloved Hawaiian home, but disciplined grass and orderly stands of trees. Not, perhaps, the sort of trees Merwin had in mind when he wrote, "On the last day of the world I would want to plant a tree." But the Sun Valley Writers' Conference bears an annual crop of words and ideas, and Merwin is here as a master gardener of that. He just ended a year's term as the nation's poet laureate. He <a href="http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/merwin/">has to his name two Pulitzer Prizes and more than 30 books of poetry and prose</a>, and a hand-planted forest at home of rare and endangered palms. <a href="http://www.merwinconservancy.org/">The Merwin Conservancy</a> is dedicated to keeping his works green -- the ones he created with words, and the natural ones that exist before and beyond them.

  3. Book Review: 'Robopocalypse'

    If there's such a thing as voodoo in literary circles, a lot of jealous sci-fi writers are probably burying needles into tiny Daniel H. Wilson dolls these days. What struggling novelist wouldn't be envious of Wilson's trajectory? None other than Steven Spielberg reached down from the heavens to option his new novel "Robopocalypse" &#8212; a deal brokered before the book was even finished, by the way &#8212; and rights to his still-unpublished follow-up have already been snapped up by another studio.

  5. A close-up on this year's film costumes

    From the lava-like raw-linen tunic inspired by avant-garde Japanese design in "The Tempest" to the Rodarte-designed twisted tutus in "Black Swan," the fashion in this holiday season's "prestige" films is notable for historical references and inventive approaches to traditional costuming.

  7. New on DVD: 'Atlas' requires concentration while 'Dexter' takes a turn

    The Fresno Bee
    This week's new DVD releases range from the odd to the odder. "Cloud Atlas," Grade B: Events and actions in one time period have an affect on past and future eras. Tom Hanks stars. Not since "2001: A Space Odyssey" has a film come along that's such a...

  9. Sci-fi worthy of Malthus

    In the new sci-fi movie "Oblivion," Earth's most precious resource is Tom Cruise. But running a close second (spoiler alert) is water. Aliens want it. All of it.

  11. In battle against cyber attacks, these Seattle hackers wear the 'white hats'

    Seattle Times
    He's 26, likes industrial and electronic music, has a bleached-blond Mohawk haircut and sometimes, Mikhail Davidov says, he starts his day "at the crack of noon." The late hours are in front of a computer, working on reverse engineering, tearing apart...

  13. Biblioracle: Bring 'Geek Love' to the big screen

    In general, I like to keep my books and my movies separate. When I finish a book and clutch it to my breast in a final loving embrace, I am not fantasizing about how the characters and conflict will play out on screen, since I've already had it play out across the inside of my skull.

  15. 'Cloud Atlas'

    Since they're ambitious directors within their own spheres, the Wachowskis ("The Matrix") and Tom Tykwer ("Run Lola Run") only could yield a massively ambitious project by teaming up. This film certainly is that, and even if the lengthy result - based...

  17. Toronto's Hollywood juggernaut can't swamp indie pleasures

    In "Argo," one of the leanest satisfactions of this year's massive Toronto International Film Festival, director and star Ben Affleck anchors a movie based on the true story about how Central Intelligence Agency operative Tony Mendez faked his way into Iran following the 1979 hostage crisis posing as a film producer scouting locations for a Canadian science-fiction film called "Argo." Under that cover story, Mendez engineered the rescue of six American hostages, themselves posing as part of the fake film crew.

  19. Coaxing film from a former steel plant

    "I used to spend summers with Uncle Nick as a kid," Pissios, a former real estate developer, tells me. He hung around the Cinespace Toronto soundstages. "That's how this whole thing happened. A few years ago, I was building condominiums by the United Center." Then came the mortgage and housing crises and the bad economic weather. Pissios went to Toronto for a wedding and saw his Uncle Nick. "And he said, 'How's things going?' I told him, 'Not so good. It's slow now.' And he said, 'We've always talked about opening up a studio in Chicago. Let's test the waters. Start lookin' around.'"

  23. Reel Critics: 'Resident Evil' keeps features that made it popular

    "Resident Evil: Retribution" is the fifth movie in a very successful franchise that began as a series of apocalyptic Japanese video games. The surreal sci-fi adventure blends "Aliens" and "The Matrix" with "Blade Runner" overtones. For good measure, thousands of flesh eating zombies are added to the mix to chase down the remaining humans on Earth in a climatic battle of survival.
