MOVIE REVIEW: Hybrid comedy 'Works'

Woody Allen combines the old and new in return to New York

Friday, July 3, 2009

"Whatever Works" marks Woody Allen's return, after four films in Europe, to the cinematic New York he helped create. His re-entry isn't simply one of location.

Tale of love as Great War nears comes to glorious life

Friday, June 26, 2009

Coppola free to indulge indie soul

Friday, June 19, 2009

Finding romance online

Steamy stories, the privacy of a Kindle; together they make genre sales superhot

Friday, June 19, 2009
