Article The Newsroom: Cable News Media Played for Laughs and Cries

If everybody hates it, that usually means I like it. The Newsroom on HBO is one of the best things to come along in a while. Not just because it is Aaron Sorkin, not just because Jeff Daniels is not Tom Hanks and certainly not just because I hate the Tea Party too. All over the place and almost like the real thing, it is television worth watching.

DVD Review REVOLUTIONARY ROAD (BLU-RAY)

Some were surprised when Revolutionary Road was not given a Best Picture nomination by the Academy. But they probably were not as surprised as those who went expecting a romantic extravaganza between Kate and Leo a la Titanic II and were instead treated to a picture full of screaming matches, depicting the utter breakdown of a relationship.

DVD Review ROMAN POLANSKI: WANTED AND DESIRED

One need not excuse or minimize what happened between Roman Polanski and a 13-year-old girl in Jack Nicholson's pool in 1977 to recognize that Polanski has led an extraordinarily complicated and morally challenging life. He escaped the Third Reich; his wife, 8 1/2 months pregnant with their first child, was brutally slaughtered by disciples of Charles Manson; he's had enough sorrow for a handful of lives, though that doesn't make it all right for his Humbert Humbert streak, thanking heaven for little girls. This fair-minded and gripping documentary is an extraordinarily thorough look at what happened to Polanski in Southern California in the late 1970s, both in a Santa Monica courtroom and in the court of public opinion. It's a morality play with all sort of shades of gray, and it's a fascinating watch.
