The first two months of 2021 have brought no shortage of compelling, even great, movies and TV series but in March we’re getting some full-on events. A big, new animated Disney movie! Eddie Murphy returns to one of his most famous roles! Godzilla fights King Kong! Zack Snyder fights the limitations of a theatrical running time! It’s madness in the month of March! (If only there was some kind of pithy phrase that could be used to describe such a thing). March will also see the departure of a great sitcom and a new Marvel series. There’s no shortage of intriguing-looking things to watch, in other words, starting with a promising-looking first film from a familiar name. Debris (NBC, March 1st) What would it take to make a brash CIA agent (Jonathan Tucker) and a … [Read more...] about What to Watch in March: ‘Godzilla vs. Kong,’ New MCU Series and Prince Akeem Returns to America

Think of it: were detective Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and his partner, Ken Hutchinson (David Soul), hot for each other when they started working undercover in Bay City? You can suss out clues from the ABC series that ran from 1975 to 1979, or you can watch Starsky and Hutch on the big screen and see subtext stiffen into hard and hilarious evidence. Turning moldy cop shows into movies has become such a numbing quick-buck proposition ( The Mod Squad , I Spy , The Avengers ) that it’s bracing to find one with the smarts to laugh at itself, not to mention the studly stereotypes spawned by the Dirty Harry era. And while the gags in Starsky and Hutch are more hit-and-miss than nonstop inspiration, the movie does get a fair share of laughs, starting with the gay thing. Even the opening credits tease the fab duo by having Barry Manilow warble his lovesick hit “Can’t Smile Without You.” Then director and co-writer Todd Phillips ( Road Trip, Old School ) — who cleverly … [Read more...] about Starsky and Hutch

I t was perhaps rock and roll’s all-time worst day, December 6th, a day when everything went perfectly wrong. Altamont remains Topic A among the musicians who were there. After all, it’s not every day that a rock and roll band’s performance, let alone the Rolling Stones ‘, is accompanied by a knifing, stomping murder within a scream of the stage. “The violence,” Keith Richards told the London Evening Standard , “just in front of the stage was incredible. Looking back I don’t think it was a good idea to have Hell’s Angels there. But we had them at the suggestion of the Grateful Dead . “The trouble is it’s a problem for us either way. If you don’t have them to work for you as stewards, they come anyway and cause trouble. “But to be fair, out of the whole 300 Angels working as stewards, the vast majority did what they were supposed to do, which was to regulate the crowds as much as possible without causing any trouble. But there were about 10 or 20 who were completely … [Read more...] about In the Aftermath of Altamont

WOODSTOCK , N.Y. — Chicago was only the labor pains. With a joyous three-day shriek, the inheritors of the earth came to life in an alfalfa field outside the village of Bethel, New York. Slapping the spark of life into the newborn was American rock and roll music provided by the Woodstock Music and Art Fair. And Dylan’s Mr. Jones, who has, indeed, been aware of what is happening, but has preferred to denounce the immorality of fucking around with his values, is now forced to acknowledge both the birth and its legitimacy. The New York Times , which had given the story front-page coverage for three days running, thundered on its editorial page the Monday-after that it was “an outrageous episode” and demanded to know “what kind of culture it is that can produce so colossal a mess?” But, in a reversal astounding for that Establishment journal, a second editorial Tuesday sheepishly allowed that the gathering was “essentially a phenomenon of innocence . . . they came, it seems, to … [Read more...] about Woodstock: ‘It Was Like Balling for the First Time’

Donald Trump returned to the spotlight on Sunday with a speech before the Conservative Political Action Conference, but the news networks took different approaches to how they covered the event. Fox News carried the speech live, but CNN and MSNBC did not. The latter two networks covered the speech: CNN had Jim Acosta and Donie O’Sullivan in Orlando, while MSNBC stuck with Al Sharpton’s Politics Nation. Sharpton opened his show by blasting the speech, saying that it “proves just how content the Republican Party is to remain in darkness.” On CNN, anchor Ana Cabrera went to Acosta, who ran clips of Trump’s opening remarks and then took issue with one, that “there has never been a journey more successful than the one we have been on.” Acosta noted that Trump lost the election.
