Movies such as Out of the Past are what movie blogging should be all about. While it's undoubtedly important to keep up with the new titles hitting theaters, finding hidden gems within the glut of watered-down, mass audience studio releases, it's just as important to look into the past and find the movies that have shaped cinema into what it is today... or, at least a reminder of what great cinema used to be, and is now mostly (un)seen within the confines of independent releases. As someone who only started delving deep into cinema's rich history about eleven years ago I still pay attention to a variety of sites and bloggers, hoping to hear of films I've never heard of or seen, something to shake up the monotony. Typically this comes in the form of a Criterion Collection release, the gold standard (at least domestically) in ensuring classic cinema remains alive,...

Maybe Demi Lovato takes her fashion cues from Goop? The X Factor judge, 20, arrived in NYC via JFK airport on Monday, April 8. On the same flight? Fellow Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow. An even bigger coincidence? The stars, who'd never met before, donned nearly identical outfits for the flight to the Big Apple: Green military jackets, jeans, white t-shirts and ankle boots! Getting acquainted during their flight, the unlikely twosome -- at the urging of Paltrow, 40 -- posed for a Twitter photo. Oscar-winning actress and [...]...

"Getting Acquainted" was the mission of last week's season premiere of The Real Housewives of Miami, but in this week's episode it was clear that the honeymoon was officially over for the new Housewives.
Dr. Karent/Ana and the Texting Wars
Last week, we were given some information from Dr. Karent Sierra involving her telenovela boyfriend Roldolfo receiving texts from Ana Quicoces. However, Ana claimed it was actually Roldolfo who continued to send texts despite the fact that he was dating Karent. As Adriana declared tonight, "Someone's lying somewhere."
This week, Ana spoke to Alexia about Dr. Karent, the texting mess, and how Rodolfo practically acted as if it was his first time meeting her. Ana felt that Dr. Karent was a bit clingy when it came to Rodolfo being around the other ladies, which could come from Rodolfo always flying out to do his show, making their relationship more on the long-distance variety.

In my adopted home, the Us, capital punishment is still the norm in many states. After Troy Davis' execution, I had to take a stand
In the UK, it's the human rights violation that it's still socially acceptable to support: the death penalty. You can be pro-capital punishment and not get ejected from a dinner party. It's probably not going to cause outrage if a social gathering throws out a "we need a strong deterrent" line, or if someone says "it's what they deserve, an eye for eye."
Which, in a sense, is slightly strange. It's nearly 50 years since there was capital punishment in Britain and knowledge of it is increasingly filtered mainly through films like Let Him Have It, or Pierrepoint, or 10 Rillington Place. As it happens, these films, plus others like Dead Man Walking, hardly present an unproblematic view of the penalty, so why do people – quite a few,...
