Wichita’s own Tallgrass Film Festival announced its feature lineup, and a schedule of events Friday. The ninth annual Tallgrass Film Festival is coming to 16 venues in the heart of downtown Wichita and the surrounding area from Oct. 20-23, and will showcase 44 independent feature films representing 18 countries from around the world.

Monticello, Arkansas - Behind a black iron gate sits a house that seems to be something out of a dream. White pillars, red domed roof, surrounded by trees, the home is an ideal setting for a fairy-tale existence, a happy home where nothing could ever go wrong. But within, not everything is as it seems. There is an unhappy air, a sadness that paces the floors, accompanied by the sounds of crying and faces peering back out of mirrors. She didn't die a violent death, nor was it much of a surprise to her when she died. She took her own life.
In every city, there are houses that "they" say are haunted. Ask around, and you'll most likely find people who say things like "oh, that house is supposed to be haunted" or "people say it's haunted." It is a rare house indeed where the whole community puts no qualifiers on their statements.

Another round of Wtf this week courtesy of an ingenious website that capitalizes on our inherent need to see the Predator battle something. Anything. Even if it's the United Trust Company Building in Providence, Ri. But first, Jason Bateman has something to say regarding people always asking him about that damn movie version of that damn TV show he was in one time. You know the one.

• In an interview with Collider for his new movie Extract, Jason Bateman offers some sound advice for Arrested Development fans: the movie's still coming, so please be patient and stop freaking out over it before a script is even finished.
I’ve always felt bad that I never had more information to give people when they asked me about it, but I guess people kind of got frustrated by that and they just started kind of making up their own sort of “well,...

The photos by the late architectural photographer Julius Shulman traced the evolution of the built environment since 1936, giving insight into construction techniques, urban development, the advent of tourism in the jet age, and the history of Los Angeles. We bring you 17 of Shulman's architectural images narrated by L.A. architects, designers, artists, writers, filmmakers, and curators.
When photographer Julius Shulman passed away July 15 at the age of 98, he left behind a trove of images that immortalized modern residential architecture. Without Shulman, you might not have known the work of Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler or John Lautner. But Shulman's images represent more than just the swanky modern scenes he was most famous for.

I was born at the center of the universe, and have had good fortune for all of my days. The center was located at the corner of Washington and Maple streets in Urbana, Illinois, a two-bedroom white stucco house with green canvas awnings, evergreens and geraniums in front and a white picket fence enclosing the back yard. Hollyhocks clustered thickly by the fence. There was a barbeque grill back there made by my father with stone and mortar, a dime embedded in its smokestack to mark the year of its completion.
There was a mountain ash tree in the front yard, and three more down the parking on the side of the house. These remarkable trees had white bark that could be peeled loose, and their branches were weighed down by clusters of red-orange berries. "People are always driving up and asking me about those trees," my father said. He had planted them himself,...
