Billy Woodberry’s 1984 feature Bless Their Little Hearts is a film more admired than seen and more’s the pity. To my knowledge, the film has never been issued either on VHS or DVD, but the exquisite 35mm blowup I saw last Saturday gives one hope that a DVD release is in the offing.

Ariel Dorfman's Death and the Maiden opened last night on London's West End (equivalent of NYC's Broadway) Harold Pinter Theatre, with Thandie Newton starring in the play's revival; and while most critics gave good enough marks to the overall production (3 out of 5 stars is about the average rating), they weren't as kind to the actress' performance, which is unfortunate.

Newly released poster for the 4th installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise, titled Ghost Protocol, which sees the return of regulars Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames (though he isn't in the poster), as well as the addition of newcomers Paula Patton, Jeremy Renner, and others, with Renner's role here being Cruise's heir apparent, as this might be his last go-round with the franchise.

The condensed version of the story goes... TV writer and author Tracy McMillan found herself at the center of some controversy earlier this year, in February, after an editorial she penned, titled Why You're Not Married - a witty, sharp, tongue-in-cheek piece/advice column aimed specifically at women - was published on The Huffington Post website (you can read it HERE). Thousands of comments followed, as well as reactions/responses from several other media outlets, small and large; even CNN chimed in.
