Posted: 11 Nov 2010 12:00 AM PST


Studio's marketing budget for 'City Island' and 'Solitary Man' is slim, but it hopes for good buzz for stars Andy Garcia and Michael Douglas.

Hollywood's award season battle is suddenly in full swing — limousines are shuttling filmmakers to and from the Four Seasons, suites are filling up at the Chateau Marmont and actors' entourages are crowding the lobbies of theaters hosting screenings for industry guilds.


Punk rock, Muslim and modern worship in 'The Taqwacores'

Posted: 11 Nov 2010 12:00 AM PST


The low-budget 'The Taqwacores' uses Muslims who are hard-core punk rockers to present compelling ideas of how modern Muslims worship in the U.S.

They are, to be sure, ideas that go unexplored in the Koran: Is it a sin to slam dance? Can a person wear his hair in a mohawk, smoke weed like Snoop Dogg and still call himself a devout Muslim under the eyes of God? The micro-budgeted feature "The Taqwacores" — which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, opened in New York last week and reaches theaters in Los Angeles on Friday — tackles such issues head-on.

Television review: 'Wartorn: 1861-2010'

Posted: 11 Nov 2010 12:00 AM PST


HBO documentary examines post-traumatic stress disorder, featuring interviews with men who are haunted by war's horrors.

According to conventional wisdom, America didn't acknowledge the existence of post-traumatic stress disorder until the Vietnam War. But that isn't really quite true. Long before 1978's "Coming Home" and "The Deer Hunter" premiered, the nation was aware of what war could do to a person: Ulysses, Macbeth, the poet Wilfred Owen, J.D. Salinger's sleepless narrator in "For Esmé — With Love and Squalor" all suffered psychologically from exposure to battle. (More recently, Pat Barker's award-winning "Regeneration" trilogy revolved around the treatment of shell-shock victims after World War I.)
