Articles tagged "alan alda" Film DVD ReviewNothing But the Truthby Jesse Hassenger[30.Apr.09] :. By the time the focus tightens onto Armstrong's jail time, the movie turns righteous and, it must be said, a little tedious.  Film ReviewNothing But the Truthby Cynthia Fuchs[22.Dec.08] :. Rod Lurie's Nothing But the Truth looks at the compromises and complications that shape the "truth" in legal systems, media collusions, and politics in DC.  Cinema Qua Non - Indispensable DVDs FeatureCinema Qua Non - Indispensable DVDs: Part 2by PopMatters Staff[14.Oct.08] :. Day Two - A demanding Decalogue overflowing with everything: from fascinating international fare, misbegotten masterworks, some out of the blue bafflers, and that seminal show about “nothing”. Cinema Qua Non - Indispensable DVDs  Film ReviewFlash of Geniusby Cynthia Fuchs[3.Oct.08] :. Robert Kearns' saga is more complicated than its trite "stalwart individual against the system" scaffolding suggests. Still, the movie sticks mostly to the scaffolding.  The PopMatters Fall 2008 Movie Preview FeatureTalk, Talk, Talk: October 2008by Bill Gibron[10.Sep.08] :. What studio suit thought this was a good idea? With four months to schedule your high priced efforts, you instead unload almost 30 overpriced pictures on an unsuspecting movie audience. The PopMatters Fall 2008 Movie Preview  Film DVD ReviewResurrecting the Champby Marc Calderaro[24.Apr.08] :. An interesting tale about the intent of lying and the strengths of good old-fashioned work. The House on Skull Mountain / The Mephisto Waltzby Chadwick Jenkins[24.Oct.07] :. These films are far more an embarrassment of riches (well, riches of a mildly titillating sort, at least) than they are a simple embarrassment. They are all the more delightful for being a guilty pleasure. Part 4 - Feasts from the Fringeby PopMatters Staff[11.Oct.07] :. Cable created supply where there was little or no demand. Out of the myriad of subject specific programming, a few gemstones managed to shine. Part 3 - The New Networksby PopMatters Staff[10.Oct.07] :. It would never work... no one challenged the reigning broadcast junta and survived. No surprise then that the upstarts snuck in and changed the face of TV forever. Josh Hartnett sees reporters from the other side of the storyby Roger Moore [The Orlando Sentinel (MCT)][24.Aug.07] :. "I would love to play a rock star," he said. "If somebody said it was time to make The Iggy Pop Story, I'd be there." Resurrecting the Champby Cynthia Fuchs[24.Aug.07] :. Maybe Erik just is so dim that he doesn't understand what's at stake in his storytelling, the way it reflects and repeats a history of storytelling. Alan Alda feels free to pierce his good-guy imageby Joe Neumaier [New York Daily News (MCT)][22.Aug.07] :. The recent run of nasty or weasely fellows Alan Alda has played in movies (“The Aviator,” which got him his first Oscar nomination), TV (“The West Wing,” as a Republican... Time Encapsulating: The Best DVDs of 2006by PopMatters Staff[10.Jan.07] :. From solid single issues to amazingly complete film and television compilations, the works highlighted here argue for DVD's continued importance. M*A*S*H Season Ten: Collector’s Editionby Dan MacIntosh[25.Jul.06] :. For those not already familiar with the good old 4077th, its seasons with single digits are always the best places to start any new tour of duty. Few will be disappointed by this set. Never Have Your Dog Stuffed and Other Things I’ve Learned by Alan Aldaby Nikki Tranter[13.Dec.05] :. The book, with Alda's full life as its case study, presents new ways of looking at old problems; new approaches to long-standing lessons. The West Wingby David Swerdlick[16.Nov.05] :. There are growing overlaps between politics, news, and entertainment. Hard news has taken a back seat to feature journalism and talk shows, real politics to realpolitik. M*A*S*H: Season Seven (Collector’s Edition)by Brian James[26.Jan.05] :. As long as Baby Boomers still roam the earth, M*A*S*H will probably always be showing somewhere on cable. The Aviator (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[22.Dec.04] :. The Aviator portrays Hughes as a rebel and a genius, a dashing young man with ambition, hope, and nerve. Whispers in the Dark (1992)by John G. Nettles[8.Sep.04] :. What emerges here is a painfully generic potboiler briefly masquerading as softcore porn. The West Wingby Michael AbernethyAs is often the case with presidential terms, the Bartlett administration ended with great pomp and little circumstance. What Women Want (2000)by America BillyAt the start of What Women Want, we learn the definition of a “man’s man.” This lesson comes first from the ex-wife of Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson), and he is Exhibit A.
