In April Fool's Day, a bunch of college friends get together for weekend of upper-crust east-coast fun on a Massachusetts island compound that Muffy St. John (Deborah Foreman) is set to inherit. How upper crust and swank is it? On a clear day you can see the Kennedy compound. Of course they take the last ferry out on Friday, ensuring that theyll be trapped throughout the weekend. And since this ostensibly a slasher film, most of them are ostensibly killed throughout the weekend. But its actually one of the strangest mainstream slashers Ive seen. Not that any one particular moment in the film is especially shocking or bold, but rather that the movie is so consistently left of center I wonder if something like it could even be made today. Since today is March 31st »

Who: Wallpaper's Ricky Reed: the North Oakland party boy redefining pop music one dirty club song at a time. Reed describes himself as a "sleazy, excess-obsessed, disco-ball busting crowd destroyer." He's kind of like Justin Timberlake on sizzurp.
Years in the Bay Area: Life.
Current Gig: Born Eric Frederic (but according to his publicist #RickyReedIsReal), Ricky Reed became a local sensation for his catchy songs and irreverent lyrics that poke fun at pop culture. (Choruses include "text me your love so I know it's true" and "I'm not just anybody; I slept with a celebrity.")
But with the release of party jams "Fucking Best Song Everrr" and "STUPiDFACEDD," Reed skyrocketed into the mainstream, signing with Epic Records, the same label released Michael Jackson's "Thriller." While his new songs have certainly been polished, his funky surrealism and sense of humor remains.

New York – The current Broadway season claims its highest-profile casualty to date with the premature closing of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, a major revival of the 1965 musical that stars Harry Connick Jr. While Connick proved a major box office draw in the 2006 revival of The Pajama Game, his marquee clout was insufficient to overcome largely negative reviews for On a Clear Day. Since opening Dec. 11 at the St. James Theatre, the show has struggled to build audiences, even through the lucrative holiday weeks. The production will play its final performance Jan.

Georges Méliès' A Trip to the Moon Melancholia, A Separation Screenplay, Runner-Up Jeannie Berlin: National Society of Film Critics' Surprises Two interesting omissions from the Nsfc roster: critics' fave Michelle Williams (for portraying Marilyn Monroe in Simon Curtis' My Week with Marilyn) and George Clooney (for his stressed out father in Alexander Payne's The Descendants) weren't among the critics' top three actresses/actors. Dunst and Yun were followed by New York Film Critics winner Meryl Streep for her Margaret Thatcher in Phyllida Lloyd's The Iron Lady; Brad Pitt was followed by Gary Oldman in Tomas Alfredson's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Jean Dujardin in Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist. Dujardin, in fact, was The Artist's sole representative in the Nsfc 2011 roster. For the record the other runners-up were Christopher Plummer (Mike Mills' Beginners) and Patton Oswalt (Jason Reitman's Young Adult »
