Word of Mouth: 'Scream 4' takes a stab at relaunching the franchise Posted: It's been 11 years since Wes Craven & Co. completed the horror trilogy. Will No. 4 maim that legacy, or could it launch further sequels? Following a bloody scene near the conclusion of "Scream 4," the character played by the horror franchise veteran Neve Campbell turns to series newcomer Emma Roberts and self-referentially cautions her to not mess with the original, though she uses cruder language to express her displeasure.

Coachella amps up security Posted: The festival attempts to prevent gate-crashing and combat counterfeiting with a perimeter fence, police checkpoints, encrypted wristbands — even private investigators. The three-day Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival is not one that would seem in need of a tune-up. After all, the 2011 edition, which opens Friday and will be headlined by the likes of rap star Kanye West and indie-rock heavyweights the Arcade Fire, sold-out in a record six days.

'The Conspirator's' little secret Posted: The film about the prosecution of John Wilkes Booth collaborator Mary Surratt has been accused of being ripped from today's headlines. Only it has been in the works since 1993. After an attack of confidence-shaking violence by political terrorists, a leading U.S. legal figure pushes for a civilian trial instead of a military tribunal for a suspect in the attack. But he is overridden by a political tide arguing against a public trial and in favor of national security.
