Born of the famously turbulent, yet ultimately fruitful collaboration between John Ford and James Stewart, Two Rode Together stands as compromised material. Ford took on the project strictly for cash shortly after the death of his friend and colleague Ward Bond passed away, sending the film into much darker territory than the director had ever or would ever normally work within. The picture was based on Will Cook’s novel “Comanche Captives”, material Ford apparently thought was less than intriguing western revisionism, even after bringing on his frequent collaborator Frank S. Nugent (The Searchers, The Quiet Man, Mister Roberts) to make something of the screenplay. Though certainly not as piercing as some of his work with his male muse John Wayne, the film remains a solid entry into the nihilistic anti-heroic take on the western.
As his most selfishly styled self, Stewart plays Marshal Guthrie McCabe, a public figure perfectly...

Comedian Dane Cook brashly dove into last week’s theater shooting that occurred during The Dark Knight Rises screening in Aurora, Colo., incorporating the still-raw tragedy into his stand-up routine at The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles on Thursday night. The Daily Caller website posted a video that featured the following bit:
“So I heard that the guy came into the theater about 25 minutes into the movie. And I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie, but the movie is pretty much a piece of crap… Yeah, spoiler alert. And I know that if none of that would have happened,...

So, looks like every contestant who doesn’t win the 10th season of American Idol will hate The Breakfast Club: David Cook’s rep has announced that Simon Fuller has chosen the season 7 winner’s cover of Simple Minds’ 1985 hit “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” as this season’s farewell song. But this is good, good news, for several reasons: 1) My mother, a reported Cougar 4 Cook, will be happy every Thursday night, no matter who goes home, 2) This sounds much, much better than “Celebrate Me Home,” and 3) It’s a step in ensuring that we never forget about...

The most typical date in the world is dinner and a movie. But with "Culinary Cinema: Eat, Drink, See Movies," this year's Berlin International Film Festival has taken the traditional date to an entirely new level.
The movies will all revolve around food. The dinners will be cooked by top-ranked chefs, and will be directly inspired by the films. And the filmmakers will be present for a round of conversation with the audience, moderated by one of Germany's most popular talkshow hosts, Alfred Biolek -- who also happens to wield a pretty mean spatula himself.
"Fire was the first expression of human civilization," said "Culinary Cinema" sidebar organizer Thomas Struck, "and cinema is the latest. The very word 'focus' comes from a Latin root meaning 'fireplace' or 'hearth.' To us, each evening is a unified work of art."
The evenings begin with a main film or films at 7:30, followed by the dinner and a chat with Biolek and film participants, and end with a second film at 10 p.m.
Sarah Wiener is a Viennese-born chef who runs three restaurants in Berlin. A half-hour documentary about her culinary adventures in France will screen on Feb. 14 along with "The Chicken, the Fish & the King Crab," a work-in-progress by Jose Luis Lopez-Linares of Spain, and a Japanese comedy, "Purukogi/Bulgogi" (Red Meat Or Innards?) by Su-yeon Gu.
Michelin starred chef Kolja Kleeberg Will Cook an Andalusian meal.
