Lin-Manuel Miranda is writing a stage musical version of The Warriors, Sol Yurick’s 1965 novel, which inspired the 1979 cult thriller film by director Walter Hill. According to The New York Post, which first reported the news, not many details on the project are know at this point, but Miranda’s involvement was confirmed.
The novel and film are about a fictional New York City street gang who travel from the Bronx to their home turf of Coney Island after being framed for the murder of a respected gang leader. Hill’s film,...

The year of 1969 saw the moon landing of the Apollo 11’s Eagle module, Richard Nixon sworn in as the 37th president of the United States, the Stonewall Riots in Greenwich Village ushering in the gay rights movement, the Tate-La Bianca murders by the Manson Family, the landmark Woodstock Music and Arts Fair which attracts 400,000, the tragic and violent Rolling Stones concert at the Altamont Speedway and even Tiny Tim marrying Miss Vicki on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.”
But one major event was basically ignored by the mainstream media: the Harlem Cultural Arts Festival which took place June 29-August 24 at the Mount Morris Park. Founded by Tony Lawrence, the festival celebrating Black pride, music and culture features such landmark performers as Sly and the Family Stone, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Stevie Wonder, The Fifth Dimension and Mahalia Jackson. And when the NYPD refused to supply security,...

All day long, I've been getting curious emails and tweets from readers of our weekly Lost recaps blasting me with Black Rock dynamite for not discussing a pretty monumental moment in last night's episode: Jack and Richard's discussion of Jacob's magical touching and supernatural gifts in the dark belly of the Black Rock slave ship. Honestly, I ignored the first few dozen of these emails. Whaddya mean? I wrote 1500 words about all this! But after getting another raft of critical emails, I checked out the recap and made a discovery that made me want to blow my own bad self up: Somehow,...

Okay so I need to just say right here at the top that I didn't hate the Nikki and Paulo episode (Season Three's "Exposé") nearly as much as everyone else did, and in fact I kind of liked it. At the time, I welcomed any break from the turgid, wheel-spinning soap that "Lost" had become before it found its mojo again at the end of that season and got its game back for the final three years. But really, I liked that the episode was a one-off with random characters whose sole purpose was to act in a kind of one-act play with a creepy twist ending. Not every minute of every episode has to connect to the larger mythology, you know? Anyway, I say all that only because those pretty dead people were finally mentioned again on this week's episode, "Dr. Linus," and it looks like someone will finally...

Riddle me this. What’s better than a John Locke-centric episode of Lost? I’ll give you a hint. It’s manic, bug eyed and black and blue all over.
That’s right. A Ben Linus episode! And last night’s was a humdinger. Drawing out a portrait of Ben as power-hungry manipulator and conflicted do-gooder, ‘Dr. Linus’ isn’t just the best episode of this last season (so far), it may be one of the best episodes of the show period.
There were a few answers given, some tantalizing plot threads discussed, and some juicy character development outside of Ben. What makes this one so terrific though, is its extraordinary sense of symmetry and design, which goes a long way towards revealing to us the texture and context of the sideways universe.
The week opens with Ilana finally learning, via Miles’ inconsistent paranormal ability, that Ben was the man...
