    Behind the gloss of Vogue, a revealing look at work, creativity and two strong women
  • Nostalgia for white terrorism

    New films tackle the Baader-Meinhof gang and the IRA's dirty war. Cue the rock music and put on those tight jeans!
  • "Inglourious Basterds"

    Quentin Tarantino's "Jews vs. Nazis" epic is unwieldy, nutso and often boring. That doesn't mean it isn't any good

    Renee Zellweger's career is not dead yet! This classy period piece features her most nuanced performance in years

    Hayao Miyazaki's latest fable is beautiful and whimsical. Unfortunately, it's also a little cold

    This adaptation of the 2003 bestseller is meant to be supremely romantic. But why does this love go so bad?
