Some commenters have criticized my post about Adam Lambert's performance at the American Music Awards because they say I should not have singled him out. There were other provocative and even outrageous musical numbers in the show. That's a fair point, but it seems to me there was a difference ...

Director Wes Anderson has often seemed more interested in his films' props and sets than the characters and stories. His last movie's most memorable character was a set of luggage ( The Darjeeling Limited ). The previous one's most memorable image was a cutaway that turned a sea-going vessel ...

"Funny People" combines two very different movies. The first is a typically crass, shallow Judd Apatow production, saturated with childish sexual antics and slapstick humor. The second is a dark, self-aware examination of a painful and ultimately meaningless life. What starts out as an ...

Sacha Baron Cohen is back, and once again he has created an outrageously offensive character from another country who crosses the ocean to interact with unsuspecting Americans so that we can laugh at their reactions, which range from befuddlement to extreme discomfort to outrage. But this time ...

At one point in this endlessly, excruciatingly un-funny non-comedy, Dan (Robin Williams) and Charlie (John Travolta) are at a camp-out with Dan's seven-year-old twins. Everyone agrees that it's all about the kids. And of course there's nothing more fun for kids than sitting on the sidelines ...

The most terrifying moment we ever experience is the realization that we are responsible for the life of the perfect being who has turned us from people into parents. We want more than anything to keep them safe and teach them everything they need to survive, even though we know how impossible ...

Great piece by Marjie Killeen on True/Slant about
the reasons to love Donny Osmond . I agree!...
He is enormously talented, he has a sense of humor about himself, he has lived a life of courage, integrity, and generosity. I hope he wins Dancing With the Stars! Read ...

A rainbow-colored wishing rock creates comic chaos in a film from Robert Rodriguez about bullies, family communication and being very, very careful what you wish for. It is also about an army of crocodiles, a telepathic super-genius baby, and a pig-tailed villain named after a font.

The biggest acting achievement in this film is four Oscar winners valiantly managing to hide their embarrassment in appearing in sheer holiday dreck. Its leads are not as successful. Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn cannot manage to disguise their shame and all but skulk through this latest ...

I was looking forward to Adam Lambert's performance on the American Music Awards last night because I was impressed with his ability and stage presence on "American Idol." The show included some of the industry's biggest stars, but they saved him for the last song of the night and really built ...

I spoke to John Hillcoat, director of the apocalyptic new film, "The Road," based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy. We do not know what caused the cataclysmic damage that has wiped out most forms of life on earth and left everything covered in ash. All we know is that there is a father (Viggo ...

Slate TV critic Troy Patterson echoes the concerns about the smarmy qualities of the Disney series "The Suite Life on Deck " that Dan Savage discussed in the essay I linked to in June. "On Deck" is the follow-up series that takes real-life twins Cole and Dylan Sprouse. They are the proteges of ...

"You're good with weird," a character tells Bella mid-way through "The Twilight Saga: New Moon." That's an understatement.
