All About Eve: Review

Fasten your seatbelts: It's the consummate back-stabbing backstage story, a poisoned valentine written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. An aging star (Bette Davis) takes an adoring young actress (Anne Baxter) under her wing. Big mistake. It may be the most biting example of hard-boiled wit ever to come out of Hollywood, and it's stylishly performed at a breakneck pace by an expert cast that includes George Sanders, Gary Merrill, Celeste Holm, Thelma Ritter and Marilyn Monroe.

Susan Sarandon Lauds Bette Davis | Today's News: Our Take | 5/3/2006
She's calm, cool and classy — and not too big for a behind-the-scenes gig. Between making movies and her upcoming guest arc on the new season of Rescue Me (premiering May 30), Susan Sarandon still found time to narrate a revealing documentary on one of the industry's legends, Stardust: The Bette Davis Story (tonight at 8 pm/ET on TCM), and she was gracious enough to chat with TV Guide about the film, fame and Oscar.

American Idol Katharine McPhee... | Today's News: Our Take | 3/8/2006
American IdolKatharine McPhee was rumored to be this year's Mario Vasquez, the dropout from last season who went on to superstardom. Or, rather, Starbucks. Well, Katharine said she'll be in it for the long haul, although I might have to quit Idol if Ryan Seacrest insists on saying things like "do you have the McPheever?" No, but cheese-ball lines like that do make me ill. Katharine did an okay Aretha Franklin — not quite up to Kelly Clarkson standard, but the judges loved her. They weren't quite as sold on Paris Bennett's "Conga," but she had fun anyway. I was very impressed with Lisa, but she once again was scolded for singing an "old" song. read more
One of the happier surprises of... | Matt Roush | 10/31/2005
One of the happier surprises of this TV season has been my deepening crush on Grey's Anatomy, which has taken advantage of Desperate Housewives' sophomore malaise to become the water-cooler show on Sunday night. (And a show I gave a lukewarm review when it premiered last spring.)

This week's (Oct. 30) episode may have been the best yet, a scintillating mix of soap opera and medical drama — with just the right blend of mordant comedy (Cristina's hunt for the missing leg) and wrenching tragedy (the two train passengers impaled by a metal pole, only one of whom could possibly survive).

Grey's is a fabulous show for "shippers" who groove on will-they-or-won't-they dynamics, epitomized by Meredith's mortifyingly drunken wait for Dr. McDreamy's answer — will he pick her, as she asked him to do to his face, or will he sta read more
What's the title of the first ... | Movie News | 9/29/2005
Question: What's the title of the first movie Marilyn Monroe appeared in, and when was it released?Answer: This is the sort of question that looks so simple it's not worth answering, but like so many other things in life, it's more complicated than it looks. The very first film Marilyn Monroe shot was The Shocking Miss Pilgrim (1947), a Betty Grable musical about the women's suffrage movement; Monroe's bit part was cut out. Monroe's role in Scudda-Hoo! Scudda-Hay!, a comedy about mule training, was also a bit; it was uncredited and of her three scenes, two were deleted before the film's release. She can be seen paddling a canoe with the also-uncredited read more
