'Game of Thrones' Showrunners Talk About the Third Season's First 'Epic' Moment
6 hours ago
As viewers might have been able to glean from the preview, the next episode of Game of Thrones includes one of the biggest scenes from the books that the HBO series has tackled to date. "And Now His Watch Is Ended," airing 21, might not approach the level of season two's "Blackwater" in its non-stop tension, but it comes with some big payoff for fans familiar with the turning point -- and for those completely in the dark.

Motown: The Musical: Theater Review
7 hours ago
New York – You can’t hurry love, but apparently you can hurtle through 25 years of pop history without depth or complexity if Motown: The Musical is any indication. With its narrowly self-serving perspective and simplistic connect-the-dots plotting, Berry Gordy’s book makes Jersey Boys look like Eugene O’Neill. And Charles Randolph-Wright’s direction struggles to get a fluid handle on the music empire founder’s superficial chronicle of his legendary Detroit hit factory. But there’s no denying the power and energy of the show’s arsenal of killer tunes. With a song selection that dips into some 60 nuggets
