A killer book (Dog Soldiers) must hide behind a Credence Clearwater tune. Karel Reisz’s killer movie about the moral residue of Vietnam scores as both drama and action, as disillusioned counterculture smugglers versus corrupt narcotics cops. Just don’t expect it to really have much to say about the Vietnam experience. But hey, the cast is tops — Nick Nolte, Richard Masur, Anthony Zerbe — and the marvelous Tuesday Weld is even better as a pill-soaked involuntary initiate into the pre- War On Drugs smuggling scene.

A juror who voted to convict Steven Avery of murdering Teresa Halbach in the Netflix docu-series Making a Murderer stands by her vote. Diane Free told the Associated Press, "I'm comfortable with the verdict we reached. The thing on Netflix was a movie, not a documentary." The 10-part Making a Murderer follows the twist-filled case of Avery, a Wisconsin who was released from prison after being exonerated for sexual assault but was then arrested again and convicted for the murder of Halbach, a young photographer. The series suggests that investigators framed Avery for Halbach's murder in retaliation for a $36 million...

The 10-part Netflix series Making a Murderer is the latest entry in America's newfound obsession with serialized true crime storytelling, coming on the heels of the hugely popular podcast Serial and HBO's The Jinx. In each case the show ends but the story continues – and questions persist.
Filmed over a decade, the docu-series follows the strange case of Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man exonerated after spending 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, only to be arrested and ultimately convicted of a murder for which he also maintains his innocence.

A juror who was ultimately dismissed from the murder trial of Making a Murderer subject Steven Avery tells People that two jurors who convicted Avery were related to Manitowoc County employees.

It's no surprise that the film adaptation of Kerouac's book is rocky: the Beats have rarely fared well on the big screen
The Beat generation was vibrant for just a short cultural moment, proclaiming a loud "no way" to the great American "yes sir" sighed by fat, complacent Eisenhower-era America. The Beats sought escape in jazz, marijuana and heroin; in racial and sexual transgression and spiritual questing; in language still deemed obscene (Ginsberg: "America, go fuck yourself with your atom bomb"); and with a determination to live free of ambitions and schedules. Their exploits unfolded in a world now vanished, where racial segregation was the norm, and jazz was still a living music, not a museum art; before Eisenhower shrank America with the transcontinental highways, and the road was still The Road. They're people in history now, the Beats.
It's taken 55 years for Kerouac's On The Road, the movement's signature novel,...
