By the end of last week’s episode of “Outlander,” it had become clear that sexual frustration ruins lives. Scottish Santa’s need to ‘get jolly’ might have gotten his wife killed. Colum’s inability to perform got Dougal and Jamie banished because if the Laird ain’t getting laid, nobody is. And Leery’s teen angst got Claire arrested for witchcraft. Nunneries are looking better all the time. Will Geillis and Claire survive 18th century justice? Since the show doesn’t end here, I’ll assume so. Time to find out how! ***** Without preamble, Claire and Gilly are tossed into a Thieve’s Hole. The locals could’ve at Least asked the Goblin King to install some Helping Hands™ to cushion the fall. It takes approximately two seconds for the women to turn on each other out of fear. Gilly accuses Claire of selling her out and I’m...

It has been more than 16 months since 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed after running to the store to buy candy and iced tea. Now, the shooter, George Zimmerman, is on trial for second-degree murder in Seminole County, Fla. The controversy and media saturation is nothing new to Central Floridians, who were glued to the Casey Anthony trial two years ago, and the first week of testimony has lived up to the hype: The Jury: Per Florida law, only six jurors were seated to hear the evidence. (Florida only uses a 12-member jury for capital cases, such as 2011's Casey Anthony trial.

Roger Clemens has been found guilty in the court of public opinion and honestly, that’s all that really matters. But for those that want the facts, Roger Clemens was actually found not guilty on all six charges in his perjury trial. Most casual fans probably don’t even know what he was on trial for. They know it had something to do with using steroids or performance enhancing drugs (Ped), but he was on trial for lying to Congress. Which is hypocritical in my opinion with how much Congress lies to the American public, but this isn’t the place for that rant.
Clemens was accused of perjury, making false statements, and obstructing Congress during his 2008 testimony about PEDs. The star witness for the government is publicly perceived to be as slimy as Clemens. Personal trainer Brian McNamee is linked to numerous alleged cheaters, and various drugs.

One of the joys of William Wellman's pre-Code output, and one of the pleasure of the pre-Code era per se, is how apparent flaws sometimes just add flavor. The filmmakers of that era were mostly not aiming for perfection anyway, but concentrated on grinding 'em out like sausages, trying to preserve a decent overall quality, injecting some special spicy tang of their own devising whenever possible, but moving onto the next one as soon as they could.
The Star Witness (1931) is bizarre, exciting, funny/unfunny, brutal, and generally off-kilter in a way that makes for engaging viewing. If its qualities were transposed to a modern studio picture, we might find it in some way "unsatisfying," but it can certainly hold up its end of a double bill, as it is doing on Saturday, Feb 25 at the Wellman retrospective at New York's Film Forum.
The movie's worst move, really, is...
