  1. Movie secrets are there, in the script!

    You know what "Star Wars" is about? I mean, <em>really</em> about? Vietnam. It's a critical allegory of the war: The Rebels are the scrappy Viet Cong, hastily assembled, devoted and relentless; the Empire is the American military, tripped up by an enemy using guerrilla tactics and inferior weaponry. Oh, there's more here, but...

  2. Dennis Hopper's carnival ride through life

    "I was a beatnik, and then I was a hippie, and before that I was a bohemian," a sky-high Dennis Hopper confided to Merv Griffin on television one night in 1971, in a clip you can see on YouTube. On the opposite couch, Willie Mays uncomfortably refilled his glass of water and James Brolin sneered &mdash; Hopper certainly didn't belong to their worlds.

  3. Iran vs. 'Argo': What other lawsuits could be in the wings?

    <span>People in Iran believe that &ldquo;<a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/moviesnow/la-et-mn-oscars-argo-lincoln-silver-lining-playbook-20130225,0,2786629.story" target="_blank"><span class="runtimeTopic">Argo</span></a>,&rdquo; which chronicled the storming of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and the later rescue of six Americans who escaped and hid with the Canadian ambassador, is "a propaganda attack against our nation and entire humanity" and a "violation of international cultural norms." </span>

  4. 'House of Cards' Hammy, Addictive

    It may be impossible to write a drama about politics that doesn&rsquo;t come off as ham-handed, over-the-top, and laughable. This is probably because actual politics reverberate with mundane news-cycle non-events, punctuated by overseas disasters and domestic high school snippiness and gossip-mongering. Politics is too stultifying to actually dramatize for film or television.

  5. 'On the Waterfront' revisited, restored, still great

    Liz Smith
    "I COULDA' been a contender. I coulda' been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am." That's Marlon Brando, in the famous car scene with Rod Steiger in "On the Waterfront." Well, there were a lot of contenders, some winners, and quite possibly...

  6. Pacino's 'Any Given Sunday' speech gets new life in Jeep ad

    Many actors are finding easy money in doing voice-over work for radio and television commercials. But it is very unlikely that anyone landed an easier gig than Al Pacino, who didn't lift a finger to get a plum voice-over spot with Chrysler Jeep. The...

  7. In hip-hop, violence is taking on a diminishing role

    Among the most important rap albums released over the last year or so, one contains a song about Nas' complicated relationship with his teenage daughter. Another has a track in which Killer Mike outlines President Reagan's contribution to the prison-industrial complex. A third disc finds Drake pondering the impossibility of real-life romantic connection in the age of the nip-slip Twitpic.

  8. Critic's Notebook: Movie violence must not be stopped

    I abhor violence. As a rookie police reporter years ago I saw the damage guns, knives, broken bottles, metal pipes, hands &mdash; humans &mdash; can inflict. From the terrifyingly premeditated to the unfortunately accidental, those images still have the power to shake me to the core. They will never leave me.

  10. D.C. is an issue in Oscar campaigns

    Hollywood director David O. Russell took a meeting this week to talk about a movie. But the man in the room with him wasn't a studio executive or an actor hoping for a role &mdash; he was Vice President Joe Biden.

  11. The Crowd: An olive leaf for the New Year

    In the Eastern Hemisphere, the Lunar New Year, also known as the Chinese New Year, Spring Festival, is the most important holiday occasion on the annual calendar. In Orange County, the Lunar New Year celebration, which begins Feb. 10, is being observed throughout the region with considerable excitement and hope for a healthy and prosperous 2013. For those unaware, the holiday is an occasion when red envelopes signifying good luck are often filled with money and presented to loved ones and friends in a symbolic gesture of good faith. Lunar New Year has also become an important occasion for our retail friends in the community, inasmuch as gift-giving is a significant aspect of marking the occasion.
