  1. The Oscars telecast's rocky road

    Last night's Oscars were like an emotional roller-coaster at a terrible amusement park--beginning wth Seth MacFarlane's as-bad-as-feared monologue, the show rarely rose above painful and hit few peaks. Allow us to relive some of the night's best and worst moments, not necessarily in that order.

  2. 'No' is riveting historical fiction ★★★★

    "No" is a terrific film, and word got out very quickly at last year's Cannes Film Festival, where the Chilean docudrama deservedly made a lot of noise even though it played outside the main competition categories. No less than "Argo," "Lincoln" and "Zero Dark Thirty," director Pablo Larrain's achievement feeds the debate regarding truth and fiction and how much of the former a viewer needs when watching a movie that is, by definition, the latter.

  3. Overlooked screenplays this Oscar season

    In 1945 Raymond Chandler wrote a screed against Hollywood, and Hollywood screenwriting, for the Atlantic Monthly. "An industry with such vast resources and such magic techniques should not become dull so soon," said the man who later characterized his adopted residence to the south, La Jolla, Calif., as "nothing but a climate." In the Atlantic he vented: "An art which is capable of making all but the very best plays look trivial and contrived, all but the very best novels verbose and imitative, should not so quickly become wearisome to those who attempt to practice it with something else in mind than the cash drawer."

  5. What to expect from Seth MacFarlane's debut outing as Oscar host

    A year after Billy Crystal helmed the Oscars for approximately the 40 millionth time, hosting duties fall to &ldquo;Family Guy&rdquo; creator Seth MacFarlane, who&rsquo;s directed a grand total of one movie and had a minor role alongside Dwayne Johnson (and Crystal) in &ldquo;Tooth Fairy.&rdquo;

  6. Solitary confinement's toll

    WASHINGTON -- "Zero Dark Thirty," a nominee for Sunday's Oscar as Best Picture, reignited debate about whether the waterboarding of terrorism suspects was torture. This practice, which ended in 2003, was used on only three suspects. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of American prison inmates are kept in protracted solitary confinement that arguably constitutes torture and probably violates the Eighth Amendment prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishments."

    For context about predictions of major entertainment events, Duff Goldman from &ldquo;Ace of Cakes&rdquo; correctly predicted the result of this year&rsquo;s Super Bowl. NFL experts did not.

  11. Oscars and American history: True, or true enough?

    A modest proposal: Movies exploring some aspect of American history, such as &ldquo;Argo,&rdquo; &ldquo;Lincoln&rdquo; and &ldquo;Zero Dark Thirty,&rdquo; should leave off the &ldquo;based on a true story&rdquo; or &ldquo;inspired by true events&rdquo; language and stick to what &ldquo;Lincoln&rdquo; screenwriter Tony Kushner advocates: a clear, simple and proud declaration of &ldquo;historical fiction.&rdquo;

  12. 'Zero Dark Thirty' a first draft of history ★★★★

    To consider what director Kathryn Bigelow has accomplished in "Zero Dark Thirty," imagine the events depicted by the story if they'd been given the "Argo" treatment.
