Hi friends This week we find ourselves smack dab in the middle of the holiday season. A time for giving, caring and gathering with family and friends. And there's nothing quite as magical as the wonder and awe of kids during this festive time. We recenty gathered some insanely talented Broadway youngsters to belt it out for us at Sessions. We wrangled up Matilda's Talia Ryder, South Pacific vet Lala as well as 3 talented gents who currently star in the great big show at the great big hall over on 6th avenue- Robert Montano, Hunter Kovacs and Will Ehren. Ok ok, we also let some fabulous adults take the mic including Side Show's Josh Walker, Anthony Fett, Colleen Harris, Kate Corsaro and more open mic dazzlers. Enjoy highlights here...

It’s that time of year again. A time for giving thanks, for being grateful for what we have, and for watching movies that center around this grand occasion in an attempt to enjoy the season and hope like heck that none of us have the same kind of zany time that our favorite movie characters do. If there’s any time that something can go wrong it’s usually around a holiday and it’s almost always when people get together or are trying to get together. That’s when Murphy’s Law seems to come into effect the most and truly wreak havoc with

Eddy and Sid after a Master Class at Nyu, 2003. (Photo: Michael Doft)
Sid Caesar’s funeral service was held on Sunday afternoon, February 16 at a private ceremony in Los Angeles. Among the family and friends paying tribute was Sid’s biographer and friend, Cinema Retro’s Eddy Friedfeld, who co-authored Sid’s creative biography, Caesar’s Hours, published by Public Affairs in 2003.
What follows is the eulogy Eddy delivered before Sid's family, friends and colleagues.
Sid said that, like Isaac Newton, he stood on the shoulders of giants, his inspirations- Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy and W.C. Fields, who helped him develop his career and craft. Today, Sid, we stand on your shoulders- and celebrate your life, your art, your warmth, character, and friendship. You did things no one else could do and you inspired many others, including people in this room, to take the same artistic risks.

Ah, the holidays. A time for giving, a time of merriment and laughter, as families come together to celebrate the important things in life by exchanging gifts, stories and hugs.
And also, apparently, a time to absolutely cry your eyes out at this brand new supercut, which features 50 of the most heartbreaking moments in cinematic history in one gigantic eight minute and 16 second long weepfest.
Merry Christmas, everyone. Have a broken heart.
Yes, before you watch this clip from the folks over at Vulture, you may want to stock up on tissues. Because if you've ever gotten a lump in your throat or something in your eye from watching movies, this one is going to be a really rough go, as it brings together just about every tear-squeezing moment in cinematic history for an extended crying session.
So check it out. And just excuse us for a minute, we have...

Seems like the major labels will continue to mine the nostalgia angle with the hope that they can squeeze a few more ducats from aging music fans everywhere. Fine by me, if the music merits the "super-deluxe-never-before-heard-or-seen" treatment. And since I've been sucked into that black hole with the Dead, Stones, Rush, Hendrix, Jesus & Mary Chain, et al., I've missed some amazing music and culture this past year. No excuses now as I cram a full year's worth of culture down my gullet before Christmas. You can check out more of my favorite culture from 2011 in these Spring, Summer, and Fall articles.

Ah, Christmas. A time for giving nice things, getting nice things, and over indulging to the point of bursting! The holidays in general can take such a strain, it is no wonder that it only happens once a year and during a cold and dark month. Some people look forward to the season, while others find a reason to dread the whole bloody ordeal. Whatever camp you may find yourself in, one of the first questions somebody will invariably ask is 'What did you get for Christmas?' Maybe you were good this year and you got a lot of things...better guess is you were terrible and you got a giant piece of anthracite coal, freshly dug out of the ground. Just kidding! We all know that you guys are one the best behaved internet groups, as far as internet groups go! Something about the internet and anonymity? Either way,...

It doesn’t take rocket science to see why True Grit enjoyed the biggest opening weekend of any Coen brothers movie to date. The film may not have won the Coens their most rapturous reviews (though the critics were largely enthusiastic), and it’s hardly their best or most defining work. Yet it’s a remake of a famous and, indeed, iconic Hollywood movie — one that, while not quite a “classic,” remains a robust and beloved end-of-the-studio-system-era Western. Omg, I used the R-word! — I called True Grit a “remake.” The vulgarity, the lowbrow cluelessness on my part! From the outset,...

Thanksgiving. A time for giving, well, thanks. Thanks for our family, friends, health, and home. But shouldn’t we also be thankful for all the joy comics have brought us this past year? Though Thanksgiving is behind us, let us take time this holiday season to give thanks and appreciate the awesome writers and artists in comics, who brought it in spades. X-Factor #50: Peter David is my hero. It seemed so innocent: a side project with under-used mutant, Madrox - the Multiple Man. Then the character catapulted into the limelight. X-Factor, a former X-title, was rejuvenated and rebuilt around Madrox as he tried to serve the mutant community while finding his true identity. Fifty issues later, David has faithfully developed all the characters falling under his wing, and helped resolve many X-plots of the past: Layla Miller: who is she and how does she ...
