  • Mayer Hawthorne Lends Throwback Feel to KCRW’s Apogee Sessions

    KCRW’s Apogee Sessions, named after the Santa Monica recording studio where these intimate performances/chats take place, remain one of the more sought-after tickets in a town where live music is so ubiquitous it’s almost bewildering.

  • RIAA Stats Mean Music Industry Must Focus on Subscriptions

    The Recording Industry Association of America released its annual report on the state of the U.S. music industry on Tuesday, and the headline was that streaming music generated more revenue for the industry than music downloads for the first time last year. However, digging into the streaming music numbers in more detail shows that it’s... Read more »

  • Early ‘Batman v Superman’ Reviews: What the Critics Are Saying

    “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” is facing a rocky start ahead of its Friday release. The tentpole has met with lukewarm reviews and holds a bleak Rotten Tomatoes percentage (which continues to change as more reviews roll in). The last installments fared far better for these caped crusaders, with “Man of Steel” holding a... Read more »

  • Sutton Foster Teases ‘Younger’ Season 2 Finale, Talks About That Shocking Death

    SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead, if you have not watched last week’s episode of “Younger,” titled “Secrets & Liza,” which aired March 16. “Younger” has put out the unexpected (hello, Matthew Morrison), but never has the TV Land dramedy killed off one of its own — until last week. Just as Kelsey’s (Hilary Duff) fiancé... Read more »

  • Here's the Problem With 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' (Review)

    READ MORE: How 'Man of Steel' Makes Every Other Superhero Movie Look Like an Indie It takes roughly 90 minutes for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" to justify its title, and another 30 to establish it's a red herring. Rather than focusing on a cataclysmic showdown between pop culture's most famous men in tights, Zack Snyder's flashy, cacophonous follow-up to 2013's "Man of Steel" is basically one long teaser for the next installment. Next fall's "Justice League: Part One" has plenty of plot details set in motion by this dreary spectacle, but doesn't fare as well in the department of good ideas. As its title implies, "Batman v Superman" plays like a mashup of things we've seen before.  Which isn't to say the movie lacks some modicum of intrigue, at least insofar as it further explores the massive universe of DC Comics' properties. But that's also its Achilles' Heel. So obviously beholden to the next stage in its story, "Batman v...

  • Exclusive: This Comic Reveals What Happened When David Bowie Came To HBO's 'Vinyl' This Week

    LAST WEEK'S REVIEW: Season 1 Episode 5, 'He in Racist Fire,' Turns Up the Heat Indiewire has commissioned artist Jess Rotter, an illustrator and 1970s music enthusiast, to draw her reactions to the new HBO drama "Vinyl," which features Bobby Cannavale as a record executive in search of personal salvation as well as the next big music sensation. For the second half of "Vinyl" Season 1, we've decided to focus on the rock star cameos featured in each episode of the series -- so, for our first “star sighting,” we highlight the great David Bowie (portrayed by Noah Bean). While the legend is sound-checking “Suffragette City," Zak Yankovich (Ray Romano) and their new publicist try to ask Bowie to perform at a benefit show for the label. But the goofy and awkward pitch sends them to dinner alone, as a non-impressed Bowie would rather take a nap on Mars then hang with the likes of American Century Records. Informed by a deep knowledge and love for the...

  • Watch: Peel Back the Layers of Reality With This Mind-Blowing 'Black Sails' Visual Effects Feat

    Special effects have certainly come a long way, especially as technology continues to advance at rapid speeds, serving as a bridge between our imaginations and reality. Without special effects, entertainment would be much different than how we know it -- in fact, it might be much more bleak than we even begin to realize. With the fine assistance of Shade VFX, a company that has collaborated in the past with Netflix and Starz, we get to see how some of the most magical scenes truly come to life with a little post-production help.  READ MORE: The Company Behind the VFX for 'Daredevil,' 'True Detective,' 'Jessica Jones' and More of Your Favorite Shows and Movies In an exclusive video from Shade, we are given a fascinating visual breakdown of a particularly complex bit from a recent episode of "Black Sails." In the scene, there's plenty of action involved, with horses, carriages and stunts galore. While it may look like just another day on an action show about...

  • 'American Horror Story: Hotel' Creators Reveal Ambitious (And Spookier!) Plans For Next Season

    As the annual PaleyFest came to a close on Sunday, the critical and fan darling "American Horror Story: Hotel" seemed like the perfect selection to conclude the festivities, as the cast and creators gave the festival an appropriate laughter and love-filled send-off. Because for a show that embraces and celebrates darkness as much as it does, the panel was, in fact, anything but that. For starters, Kathy Bates and Sarah Paulson went at each other back and forth the entire evening, constantly teasing one another in between a sweet series of hugs and playful gestures. And then the wonderful Denis O'Hare mused about his love for his character, Liz Taylor, even paying homage to her as he effortlessly stepped onto the stage in heels. The fans, naturally, ate every bit of it up.  In its fifth season, "Hotel" further expanded the "American Horror Story" universe to the comfort (or discomfort?) of the infamous Hotel Cortez, a fictional location in the...

  • Ang Lee Named Provincetown International Film Festival's 2016 'Filmmaker on the Edge'

Movies: Past, present and future
  • Movie theater junk food: Is it a menace to society?

    If you’re a parent concerned about your kids eating healthful food, where is the last place you’d want them to go? The answer is simple: a movie theater. When I give my 14-year-old son some cash so he can have something to eat at the movies, I know that whatever he gets at the concession stand is going to be the most unhealthful thing he eats all month.

  • Pulp non fiction: Joe Eszterhas tells all about Mel Gibson

    Screenwriter Joe Eszterhas has given up chasing women. He’s given up booze. He’s given up smoking, after barely surviving a horrible bout of throat cancer. But judging from “Heaven and Mel,” his new Amazon e-book about his ill-fated attempt to write a historical action drama about the Maccabees for Mel Gibson to direct, Eszterhas hasn’t lost his fondness for larger-than-life showbiz soap opera. Eszterhas was once the highest-paid screenwriter in Hollywood, a man who fought bitterly with directors, studios and actresses — at least when he wasn’t sleeping with them. He lived across the street from Bob Dylan in Malibu,...

  • Kirk Douglas on the blacklist: Why Hollywood showed so little courage

    Kirk Douglas has written a lively new memoir about one of his greatest triumphs. Titled “I Am Spartacus!” it recounts how Douglas helped break the midcentury anti-communist blacklist by secretly hiring Dalton Trumbo to write “Spartacus,” the historical epic that was directed by Stanley Kubrick and produced by Douglas and came out in October 1960.

  • Alan Horn: Can Disney's new boss reinvent the studio?

    The arrival of Alan Horn, who was unceremoniously pushed out of his Warners job in April 2011, is a game changer for Disney. It’s a sign that Iger, who has spent the last several years hiring (and then firing) untested executive talent, notably the recently departed studio chief Rich Ross, realizes Disney needs a seasoned hand and a soothing presence who can revive its relations with top Hollywood talent.

  • How did 'Battleship' escape the 'John Carter' flop furor?

    If there is a truism in Hollywood when it comes to the media, it’s that people in the industry never think you’re nasty, mean or vicious enough when writing about someone else’s movie. It’s a business, after all, where people root just as hard to see their friends fail as their enemies. So I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised to hear from so many studio execs, producers and agents this week, all wondering the same thing: Why hasn’t the entertainment press been giving “Battleship” just as big a whipping as it gave “John Carter” a couple of months ago?...
