Today-Sunday Making a splash The Sugarloaf Crafts Festival appeals to the creative of all ages. In one event, Splash! Animals, artists quickly throw and brush paint on a canvas as the audience tries to identify which endangered species the paint splatters
As Ebenezer Scrooge (not to mention The Grinch), Jim Carrey aims to put a lump of coal in the Christmas stocking and a lump of emotion in the throat. That he fails is not for lack of effort.
As goofy as the glint in George Clooney's eye, The Men Who Stare at Goats offers a terrific adaptation of the nonfiction book of the same name, one that chronicles U.S. "alternative warfare" programs. That is, military operations that explore ps
'There's something going on in this town that we don't know about." "They're not from here." "Do you honestly believe that you were forcibly removed from your bedroom by a member of an alien race?"
Based on the improbable-but-true saga of Sandra Laing, the dark-complected daughter of light-complected Afrikaner parents in South Africa during the apartheid era, Skin is a surreal melodrama of arbitrary racial labeling that estranged a woman from herself, her family of origin, and the father of her children.
A 2009 foreign-language Oscar nominee, the Austrian thriller Revanche ("revenge") is a slow-burning, character-rich study in desperation, grief, vengeance, loyalty, and love. It's the sort of arthouse entry - in German, mostly - that gets you thinking about an English-language remake. But really, why should there be one?

Leader talks about starting from scratch.
Talk with Wolfmother vocalist/guitarist Andrew Stockdale, the toast of Brisbane, Australia, about recording the follow-up to the band's 2006 eponymous debut, and you get two moods.
Ain't No Sunshine since singer-songwriter Bill Withers walked away from the music business in 1988. Withers, whose hits included Lean on Me and Just the Two of Us, said he still loved the music but he'd had enough of the business.
Emmanuel Havens hadn't eaten in more than a week. He shivered under an army blanket in a group counseling meeting at St. Elizabeth Recovery Residence in North Philadelphia, where the first words the homeless musician and artist said were these:
Bob Dylan The Never-Ending Tour - the best expression of Bob Dylan's ancient troubadour nature - has taken two interesting turns of late. The first is that he's welcomed back guitar hero Charlie Sexton to the fold. Dylan's been doing great as a guitarist, adding wh
