There's plenty of high speed big thrill activity now playing at the multiplex but if you want an actress to get your heart racing this summer, you're going to have to look for counter-programming. Look no further than Famke Janssen's film elevating, career expanding work in Chris Eigeman's directorial debut Turn the River. The year is young but Janssen's work is arguably the best lead performance so far this year. The low key drama about a pool shark playing high stakes life games, opens in limited release today. Janssen plays Kailey, an estranged mom looking ... Flag post Flag post Flag post
Keith Woods, dean of the Faculty, Poynter Institute, on the Online Newshour, speaks the truth:And I think, particularly when you look at the way that we have talked about the demographic groups, the degrees to which we have divided up particularly black and white America in this -- in the conversation, we reveal, I think, in some ways, both the media's limitations in how it talks about it and the country's.So, you see a full vocabulary for talking about white Americans in this debate, from blue-collar, a euphemism for white blue-collar workers.

This dude encounters some weird art directors who like him to splash about topless and do weird things with his hair. Emile Hirsch stars in Speed Racer, which opens this weekend.

DJ Harmonix returns to the Cuff this weekend both Friday and Saturday night spinning until 3 am. You may remember my posting about DJ Harmonix from a couple of weeks ago.In my opinion, for high energy dance, DJ Harmonix is one the best resident DJs in the area.
