So political watchdogs were surprised to learn that he sat down with Times reporters Peter Baker, Michael Schmidt and Maggie Haberman for a revealing 50-minute conversation in the Oval Office.

Bonjour, film fans, and welcome to another year of gawking at the rich and opinionated elite who make up the Cannes Film Festival! The 67th annual celebration of movies and money began with a rough welcome for a princess and the absence of the festival's unofficial king. “La Vie en Rose” filmmaker Olivier Dahan and Nicole Kidman's fictionalization of Grace Kelly's mid-century reign, “Grace of Monaco,” was decisively — and brutally — panned by critics. We've recapped the savaging twice already, led by The Guardian's Peter Baker calling it “so awe-inspiringly wooden that it is basically a fire-risk.” Similarly, Time Magazine's.

Washington (AP) — Little was sacred when President Barack Obama tossed out playful but pointed jokes Saturday night — not even his own health care plan. "We rolled out healthcare.gov. That could have gone better," Obama said in remarks at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner. "In 2008 my slogan was 'Yes we can.' In 2013 my slogan was 'Control-alt-delete.'" One the plus side, the president said, "they did turn the launch of healthcare.gov into one of the year's biggest movies." On a screen flashed the poster for "Frozen." When a video Obama introduced failed to play properly, he asked, "Does anybody know how to fix this?" To laughter, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius stepped up and said: "I got this. I see it all the time." In the wake of the problems with the website, Sebelius has announced she is stepping down. The annual dinner has...

Drum Beat from 1953 starred Alan Ladd and Charles Bronson and was based on a true story about a violent Indian uprising in the 187os. It’s an impressive and exciting outdoor adventure but Hollywood studios were churning out hundreds of westerns in the early 50′s so it’s not too surprising that Drum Beat, though so superior to many, hasn’t received its due. The most notable thing about Drum Beat is that it provided Charles Bronson with his real break-through role as an actor. Bronson’s scene-stealing performance as an Indian chief received a lot of attention and paved the way for his long and successful career, but Drum Beat is Not available on DVD.
Drum Beat was based on a little-known occurrence in 1873 where (for the only time) an American Army General was killed during the wars against the Indians. The Modoc tribe, lead by their chief, Captain...

An Australian sketch horror series from an advertising collective has today launched in the Google Play store as an app.
Watch With Mother, created by The Glue Society with production company Revolver, previously released episodes on iTunes but Peter Baker, a creative at The Glue Society, and one of the writers and directors, said the project was first intended to be viewed on a tablet.
Baker told Encore: “It was always perceived to be screened on a tablet. We imagined this to be watched by yourself, in bed, lights off. When watching a sketch, if you don’t like it you can flick through to the next.”
“Also, the app is like a digital box set with all the episodes but also behind the scenes and soundtrack. It’s a much richer experience.”
