Like all Wes Anderson movies, “Rushmore” is made special in part by its carefully curated soundtrack. Mark Mothersbaugh, the Kinks, Donovan, the Creation and other artists provide the musical accompaniment to Max Fischer’s coming of age and remind us of Anderson’s artful meticulousness. Courtesy of Kentucker Audley, we now have a new version of the “Rushmore” soundtrack to ponder — and it’s hilarious in its awfulness.

If you ever wanted to know how Smash Mouth’s “All Star” would pair with Anderson’s second film, now’s your chance. And if you were curious how the opening credits would feel accompanied by Spin Doctors, by all means indulge yourself. Just try not to get too angry when your favorite musical cues from the film are replaced by tracks that, though apropos of the movie’s 1998 release date,...

A stranger wanders the streets of New York. To everybody, he just looks like another hairy, barefoot slob who got lost in the parking lot between sets at a Spin Doctors gig in 1992. The man walks into the Rand Tower skyscraper and claims to be the long-lost heir to the family's corporate empire. But everybody knows Danny Rand got killed 15 years ago, at the age of 10, when his parents' private plane crashed in the Himalayas. So who is this hippie dude with the mysterious power to punch through walls, jump...

With the series finale of The Vampire Diaries looming, fans have tons of questions: Can the gang from Mystic Falls defeat that minx and keeper of Hell, Katherine? How does Elena wake up since Kai is now stuck in a new Prison World listening to the Spin Doctors on a loop? Can Hell realistically be destroyed and what happens to its inhabitants? Which major character dies (it's been confirmed this one is a heartbreaker)?
But most importantly, will Elena and Damon finally live happily and mortally ever after, or will Stelena fans get their wish of seeing the exes reunited? There is a very good chance one of the Salvatore brothers won't survive the finale, but assuming they do, as does the woman at the center of this epic love triangle, which Salvatore brother should get the girl?...

Friday’s Vampire Diaries was a little like John Tucker Must Die — only with surprisingly less Arielle Kebbel.
VideosVampire Diaries Series Finale Promo: See Damon and Elena’s Epic Reunion
Cade, of course, played the “John Tucker” role, targeted by Damon, Stefan and Bonnie — three of his former protégés looking to get even. And just like Brittany Snow’s character, Stefan actually thought he could accomplish something by going rogue, challenging Cade all on his own. (Spoiler alert: He was *ahem* dead wrong.)
After getting the upper hand on Stefan, Cade offered Damon a chilling ultimatum: Which soul would he save,...

This is where I'm supposed to summarize the past year, find some overaching theme or thread running through my choices, spot trends, or something along those lines. Instead it's just another mea culpa for my continuing and accelerating estrangement from mainstream pop music. Don't mind me, I'm just a grumpy old fart. But these twenty new albums made me less grumpy.
1. Diiv: Is the Is Are (Captured Tracks)
I enjoyed their first album, and far from a sophomore slump, their second is even better. Sure, I'm heavily predisposed to love bands that conjure a moody '80s vibe with thrumming bass, chiming guitar jangle, and submerged vocals, but this is greater than the sum of those parts, simultaneously updating the sound while tapping into a new level of melodicism for this band.
2. David Bowie: Black Star (Sony)
I wrote about this at length. What can I add now that...

Robert Kenner’s 2006 documentary “Food, Inc.” examined corporate farming in the United States and came down hard on agribusiness. Executive produced by “Fast Food Nation” writer Eric Schlosser, the film was nominated for a Best Documentary Oscar and was a critical and commercial success. Now Kenner and Schlosser have reunited for “Command and Control,” based on Schlosser’s Pulitzer Prize-finalist book of the same name, about a deadly accident at a Titan II missile complex in Damascus, Arkansas in 1980, as well as the history of America’s weapons program. Watch an exclusive clip from the film below.

It only takes one small-town journalist to make a difference in Kill the Messenger, a true-life conspiracy thriller in the vein of All the President's Men, with The Hurt Locker and The Avengers' Jeremy Renner in buzzing electric form as the titular scribe. His defining moment is a 1996 series of articles uncovering the CIA's involvement in aiming to depose the Nicaraguan government, an effort funded by sales of crack cocaine – mainly in South Central, Los Angeles.
Apart from the dodgy foreign politics, issues of race and class are squarely in the frame as government spooks deem the lives of some of their own citizens expendable when weighed against the cost of arming the Nicaraguan Contra movement (who supply and distribute the coke in the Us,...

Not all doctors are created equal. Some are actually supervillains, some are formerly respected cardiothoracic surgeons who turned into TV hacks peddling snake oil, and some don’t even have any qualifications. Luckily, Shea Strauss is here to help us figure out who we can rely on. He created this matrix rating each doctor, or “doctor” as the case may be, on both their trustworthiness and their qualifications. I would quibble with some of the placements — why does he trust the Spin Doctors so much? — but his suggestion that we should trust Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable and the Doctor an equal amount is pretty spot on.

Well, my friend the time has come: Lionel Richie is turning 65-years-old on Friday, even though he doesn't look like he's aged since he (and his mustache) popped that pink collar and stared at us from the cover of his 1982 solo album.
The Grammy winning singer, former Commodore and leather pants enthusiast looks like he can still karamu, fiesta, forever. On June 14, Richie made a well-received appearance at the Bonnaroo music festival – and he's currently on the road with his All the Hits, All Night Long tour. (He'll be in Detroit on Friday, if you want to bake him cake...

“There is no one like Jack Black… No, I read that wrong- no one likes Jack Black,”s aid Roastmaster Bob Saget as the School of Rock star and Tenacious D musician was honored at star-studded Friars Club event held at the New York Hilton on Friday April 5.
Saget masterfully set the tone for the roast: “To say that Jack Black is a one-trick pony is an insult to ponies… Jerry Lewis, you’re an icon,” he told the Friar’s Club Abbott, who announced that he is celebrating his 84thyear in the entertainment business, “but I’m glad you don’t take a bow- you’d yank your balls out of your socks.”
“It’s unusual for Sarah Silverman to be at table with comedians,” Saget said introducing her, “she’s usually under a table jerking them off.” “Anyone who’s seen Bob...

In David Wain's 2008 comedy Role Models, the main characters, played by Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott, are constantly annoyed by an extremely cheery member of the Big Brother program that they have been forced to take part in. Played by A.D. Miles, one of the character's most annoying traits was that he would keep singing a fake song by Wings called "Love Take Me Down To The Streets." It was a great running gag during the movie, and apparently Wain loves it so much that he's also included it in his newest project, Wanderlust. A new clip for the comedy has been released online, and while the central focus of the preview is on Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux playing "Two Princes" by The Spin Doctors, if you listen closely to the song at the start of the clip you'll hear some very familiar lyrics. Check it out...

Ed Zwick abandons the world of conflicted African diamond smugglers and 18th century westerners indoctrinated into the ways of the samurai, for a romantic character piece which revolves around the world of pills, thrills and heartaches.
Jake Gyllenhaal stars as young, horny salesman Jamie Randall who, having been fired from his previous job after being caught in an uncompromising position with his boss’s wife, manages to secure a position (thanks to his younger and incredibly successful brother) selling pharmaceutical products for medical company Pfizer. Crashing a patent’s appointment with a doctor he’s trying to sell to, it’s there where he meets his romantic match in Maggie (Anne Hathaway) with whom he becomes involved. A similar free sprit to himself, she’s a struggling artist working as waitress to make ends meet (with that traditional Hollywood contrivance of owning a massive loft conversation), who is also battling...

Happy day of giving Thanks! Happy day of eating poultry, like we don't eat poultry every day in staggering quantities. Most importantly, welcome to the end of the year, the time when we all pretend like movie goers are divided into two categories: those that care awards season is coming up (Hey, you wanna see The King's Speech?) and those that don't (When's Tron: Legacy coming out, again?). Luckily, I think there's a movie out this week that will satisfy both sides of the film-going public that I'm currently writing about, director Ed Zwick's Love and Other Drugs is in theaters now and managed to be a romantic comedy that didn't make my short hairs stand on end with idiocy... … let's not think about why my short hairs respond to idiocy, let's start with my titular things. Ladies and Gentleman, for your post-gorging reading pleasure, I present 6 Things W...
