Evan Shapiro: TV's 17 Best Issue-tainment Shows of All Time
19 April 2012 6:25 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
On April 7, Mike Wallace, the lion of the TV news magazine died. Wallace was more than a news man. He was a former actor and game show host who found a way to seamlessly blend news and entertainment into a combination that was far more than a sum of its parts. Wallace -- first on Night Beat, then on 60 Minutes -- didn't just investigate or report. He turned interviewing into a blood sport -- becoming both one of the most liked and feared men on television as a result. He brought the same intensity and enthusiasm to every interview -- be it entertainers, world leaders or criminals -- even once calling Ayatollah Khomeini a lunatic, to his face.
This got him into trouble at times -- settling a lawsuit with General Westmoreland; losing a battle with CBS over a tobacco industry whistleblower -- but it also made him something rare »

Chico And Rita – The Review
5 April 2012 9:51 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
The following is taken from the film’s review when it was featured as part of the 2011 Stella Artois St. Louis International Film Festival this past November.
Chico And Rita is a dazzling, musical feature-length animated film that uses many modern techniques while harkening back to a time, not too long ago, when American studios flirted with the idea of animation geared to more adult stories. Now this is not to say that the great Pixar films don’t have adult themes but their finished stories are “kid-friendly”. Forty years ago Ralph Bakshi was heading the charge for movie cartoons to compete for mature audiences. As Fritz the Cat said in the ads, ” I’m X-rated and animated! “. Soon Bakshi’s toned down th more extreme elements in his features ( ending his run with Wizards, American Pop, and his take on Tolkein ) while other studios explored the territory with Watership Down and Heavy Metal. »

I Love Lucy: The Artist Who's Drawn Lucy Hundreds of Times
10 February 2012 2:40 PM, PST | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
Just picturing Lucille Ball is enough to bring a smile to most people's faces. After all, the beloved comedienne made us laugh in five TV shows -- I Love Lucy, The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy, and Life with Lucy -- as well as through dozens of TV specials, radio episodes, and more than 75 movies.
While Ball devoted much of her life to the art of performing, artist Henry Lmrr most appreciates Ball as the subject for his art. He's drawn Ball literally hundreds of times, filling sketch books and inscribing her likeness on everything from canvas to scrap notebook paper, an eraser, and even a bottlecap. He confesses that he just can't enough of her immortal features.
Lmrr began drawing Ball at the age of 10 after he saw "The Anniversary Present" episode from the second season »
