Talented fashion designers are a rare find in Arizona -- though the state does have some sparkling specimens of style. It feels like I've been to a million local shows, and if the audience is lucky enough not to be shown the latest denim/T-shirt combo straight from a Dillards rack,...

Julie Delpy materializes on the patio of Hollywood's Chateau Marmont on a wave of nervous energy. Hair pinned up away...
Long before there were YouTube reaction videos (and we all had to find someone to surprise in our own time), there was nothing quite like sharing the fun fact that Christopher Walken auditioned for the role of Han Solo. The reaction is complex: laughter, disbelief, confusion, this desperate need to...
I know I've lost an arm-wrestling match with a classic piece of literature if I can easily follow a story from beginning to end and don't feel confused, yet just can't shake that feeling of not knowing what the big effing deal was. But you know you've been lucky enough...

Push It
In 2009, friends and artists Matt Brown and Jay B Fail opened the doors of PUSH Gallery at 1145 East Roosevelt with a vision of "pushing" the local arts movement forward with exhibitions and events. For three years, the duo brought in local artists in a variety of media for...

For many, especially black people who see in her a mockery of our own grandmothers, Tyler Perry's Madea is little more than a mammy — an insult to the matriarchal community figure that Perry claims to celebrate. And unforgivably, when compared to Flip Wilson's Geraldine or even Martin Lawrence's Big...

Whit Stillman made a name for himself making semiautobiographical, deadpan, highly literate comedies about the night lives of idle heirs (his 1990 Oscar-nominated debut Metropolitan), privileged Americans abroad (Barcelona, 1994), and resilient yuppies in decadent early '80s Manhattan (The Last Days of Disco, 1998). But for more than a decade,...
Oh, my, this is exciting. For those who thought Bomberos Winebar, the hip little neighborhood hangout in Sunnyslope that shuttered last March after failed lease renewal discussions with the landlord (the space is now occupied by Timo), was ancient history, it's time to write a new chapter. Just over a...

In a movie season worshiped for its CGI-boosted, spiritually bankrupt juvenilia, it's heartening to know that filmmakers still create — and maybe more significantly, that studios still distribute—summer entertainment for grownups. Not that those buckets of popcorn are going to empty themselves, but who needs to be reminded of yet...

Four of us were having a perfectly romantic evening when my friend mentioned a YouTube video he wanted to share. My objection was quickly overruled 3-1, and in an instant the viral clip was playing tableside. You've probably seen it: A chimp sticks a finger in his ass, smells the...
Like all good celebrity worshippers, we enjoy the Oscars telecast, the jokes from Billy Crystal, the awkward mispronunciations during foreign film awards, feigned surprise, looks that could kill, and incidental swearing in acceptance speeches. But, we gotta say, our favorite part of the movie-maker merriment is the red carpet. Our penchant...
