Cameron Crowe could really use a win after the chilly reception to "Aloha" this spring, and on paper, his brewing Showtime series "Roadies" seemed like a slam dunk. Produced by J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot, with "My So-Called Life" creator Winnie Holzman serving as showrunner, the series drops Crowe right into the world of rock 'n roll he knows so well for an ensemble comedy set on a U.S. rock tour.

But, really, his campaign began nearly five years earlier, on the floor of the Senate, on December 10, 2010, when Sanders spoke—without eating, or sitting down, or taking a bathroom break—for eight and a half hours. The “filiBernie,” people called it—“the most Twittered event in the world on that day,” Sanders wrote later–though it wasn’t... Читать дальше...

As if taxing dividends, clamping down on  non-doms, removing tax breaks from landlords and introducing a national living wage was not enough to make George Osborne look and feel more like a Labour chancellor than a traditional Conservative, now he is taking on those who live in the Tory shires.

Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" is a such certified classic already that I don't really need to tell you about its importance in his body of work, or in film history. But if you are looking for more background on the movie, now's a good time to revisit 5 Things You May Not Know About Fellini's 'La Dolce Vita' because this sixth thing might make you a little upset.

Having become a full-fledged star over the past few years, thanks to high-profile roles in movies such as “The Imitation Game” and “Star Trek Into Darkness,” and TV shows like "Sherlock," it wasn’t that long ago when Benedict Cumberbatch was just a hard-working actor trying to make his mark in the business.
