When reading actor Brian Cox's memoir "Putting the Rabbit in the Hat," I was disappointed that he didn't mention his work on David Fincher's superlative "Zodiac." Throughout the book, Cox shows no reluctance to burn bridges, and given his ribbing of "Succession" co-star Jeremy Strong's method acting, I was eager to see if he'd have similar words about Fincher's infamous perfectionism. Alas, no such stories exist.
True to its title, the 2007 "Zodiac" film is about the Zodiac killer, the still unidentified murderer who left Northern California quaking with fear as the 1960s closed. The film spans the 1960s to 1980s (with an epilogue in 1991), focusing on the killings and then Robert Graysmith's (Jake Gyllenhaal) investigation years later.

Since this year marks the 60th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, a number of docu-specials are rolling out to revisit (and, in some cases, reexamine) that tragic day in Dallas, Texas. None of them seem more compelling than JFK: What the Doctors Saw, a documentary featuring previously unreleased footage — and the testimony of seven doctors who were there in the emergency room of Parkland Hospital trying to save the then-president’s life after he was shot as his motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22, 1963.

Mafia-related murders. An improbable constellation of 20th-century icons. Belated accessibility to the public after decades of obscurity. Are we talking about the JFK assassination or Winter Kills, William Richert’s 1979 film inspired by it?
Adapted from Richard Condon’s 1974 novel, the film flamed out on its initial release for many of the usual reasons: a troubled production, the short-sightedness of critics, and a willingness on the part of the filmmakers to potentially confuse, alienate, or offend audiences of the day. But even if you don’t go in with a conspiratorial mindset, one viewing of this riotously entertaining, chillingly perceptive film could leave you wondering if some larger force is at play, protecting the targets of this should-be New Hollywood classic by keeping it in the dark after all this time.
The history of Winter Kills is nearly as lurid and tangled as the conspiracy it depicts. Unable to secure...

On May 13, 1975, Ray Benson, leader of the Western-swing heroes Asleep at the Wheel, was readying his band to make their stage debut at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas, Texas, when he received the news that Bob Wills, the “King of Western Swing,” had died that morning in nearby Fort Worth.
“An AP reporter told me as I got off the bus,” the 72-year-old tells Rolling Stone backstage at the recent grand reopening of the Longhorn. “He says, ‘Are you going to cancel?’ I said, ‘Cancel? We’re going to glorify this and play his music.

Michael Lerner, the busy Oscar-nominated character actor who had memorable turns as bombastic types in Barton Fink, Harlem Nights, Eight Men Out and so much more, has died. He was 81.
Lerner died Saturday night, according to an Instagram post from his nephew, Sam Lerner, who is also an actor (ABC’s The Goldbergs). The cause of death was not immediately known.
“It’s hard to put into words how brilliant my uncle Michael was, and how influential he was to me,” Sam wrote. “His stories always inspired me and made me fall in love with acting. He was the coolest, most confident, talented guy, and the fact that he was my blood will always make me feel special. Everyone that knows him knows how insane he was — in the best way.”

Chicago – The date of November 22nd, 1963, will always have meaning to certain generations of people as to the where-were-they-when-they-heard that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. The City of Chicago was not immune to this event, and three odd connections became apparent as the news broke and in the subsequent associations that emerged afterward.
The facts of the assassination are these … President Kennedy was making a political swing through the State of Texas, on the cusp of the 1964 presidential election, a state which he barely won in his 1960 victory. The Dallas stop on the trip included a motorcade parade – in the presidential limousine were two Secret Service drivers, Kennedy, his wife Jackie, Texas Governor John Connally and his wife Nellie – through the downtown area before a scheduled speech at the Dallas Trade Mart. As the parade was ending at 12:30pm Central Time, shots rang out near...

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com reviews the new documentary “Truth is the Only Client: The Official Investigation of the Murder of John F. Kennedy” on the 57th Anniversary of the JFK assassination on November 22nd, 2020. The doc reassembles investigators of the 1964 Warren Commission.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
The documentary is a 142 minute talking head style film, punctuated by archival footage and photographs of the three day period in Dallas from the president’s murder to his assassin’s murder … Lee Harvey Oswald was gunned down by a Dallas strip club owner named Jack Ruby … and it breaks down those events by dissecting the material the Warren Commission worked with, and using it to prove that Oswald acted alone, and that Ruby’s murder of Oswald was not connected to a greater conspiracy. Available through Video On Demand.

You don't have to be a history buff to notice that season two of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy had a real-life '60s twist. "Jack" from Dallas in 1963 is Jack Ruby - yes, the Jack Ruby who (allegedly) shot President John F. Kennedy's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. Although he only appears on a few episodes, it's clear where the storyline is going. Let's review what we know from the show, as well as what happened to the real-life Jack Ruby.
Who Is Jack in The Umbrella Academy?
Here's what we know: one night at a club, Sissy's husband Carl gets kicked out and accidentally leaves his wallet behind. Luther notices that Vanya picks up Carl from the club and uses his ID to get in and try to find his sister. After finding out that Allison is married, Luther is heartbroken and loses a match purposefully, causing Jack to fire Luther.

The following contains spoilers for The Umbrella Academy season 2.
The ending of The Umbrella Academy season 2 upends the story’s continuity in a major way. That’s right: Jack Ruby picks up a gun to go kill Lee Harvey Oswalt.
We kid, we kid. The major development from the season 2 finale, “The End of Something”, is clearly the sudden introduction of a brand new superpowered crime-fighting team! When The Umbrella Academy arrives back at their headquarters in 2019, everything seems to be in order…until their dead father Reginald Hargreeves shows up. Not only that, but Reggie reveals something shocking. This isn’t the home of The Umbrella Academy, it’s the home of “The Sparrow Academy.”

Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy can’t be a cheap show to make. This superhero story is based on an ambitious, colorful comic book series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá and as such it features big action setpieces, depictions of superpowers, and even a talking chimp or two.
Still it’s hard to imagine any portion of The Umbrella Academy’s budget is larger than the music clearance department. The series features a moody score from Jeff Russo but also a truly stunning amount of pop hits. The Umbrella Academy made its musical intentions clear in its first episode with the now-beloved dance scene set to Tiffany’s “I Think We’re Alone Now.” And the show’s investment in soundtrack and music has only grown from there.
“Music is such an important thing to me and I really take time to pick the songs,” showrunner Steve Blackman says.

Danny Aiello, a character actor best known for his work in such films as “Do the Right Thing” and “Moonstruck,” died on Thursday night in New Jersey. He was 86.
Aiello’s literary agent Jennifer De Chiara confirmed his death to Variety.
“It is with profound sorrow to report that Danny Aiello, beloved husband, father, grandfather, actor and musician passed away last night after a brief illness,” his family said in a statement. “The family asks for privacy at this time. Service arrangements will be announced at a later date.”
Aiello worked steadily in films starting in the mid-1970s, often playing cops, mobsters and other New York tough guys. He earned a supporting actor Oscar nomination for his role as a pizza parlor owner caught up in racial tensions and a changing neighborhood in Brooklyn in Spike Lee’s 1989 hit “Do the Right Thing.” He earned praise for his work in 1987’s “Moonstruck,...

Carmine Caridi, who played the traitorous Carmine Rosato in The Godfather, Part II (1974) and returned to the Francis Ford Coppola franchise to portray Albert Volpe in The Godfather Part III (1990), died Tuesday at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, where he had been in a coma. He was 85.
The veteran actor had screen credits in the triple-digits by the end of his career but his signature roles was Rosato, a key figure in the bloody mob battle that played out as a centerpiece of The Godfather, Part II, which won the Academy Award for best picture to match the gold-plated achievement of its predecessor, The Godfather (1972). Rosato’s machinations created turmoil and confusion for the Corleone Family but in the end his gambit failed and his fate was a shotgun execution.
Caridi also gained a measure of industry notoriety in 2004 when he became the first person to be expelled by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences...

The only good vigilante is a fictional vigilante and The Punisher is one of the best examples.
America loves revenge stories and Netflix serves up a cold dish of it with Marvel's The Punisher. The Punisher, like Batman, Spider-Man, the Green Hornet and so many other comic book heroes, is based on a mythical creature: The do-gooding, well-intentioned lone vigilante: Brave men, women and occasionally children and animals, who take the law into their own hands when society fails them.
The Punisher is a damaged version of that trope. Well-trained and filled with vengeance, he is a one-man posse who you can easily picture riding shotgun in Travis Bickle’s yellow cab in Taxi Driver. Although, he may prefer to prowl the subways with Bernie Goetz.
The Punisher was created by writer Gerry Conway and artist John Romita, Sr. for Marvel Comics. He first showed up...

NEW YORK -- In the hours after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, hundreds of Texans lined up -- stricken but patient -- and waited for new editions of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram to arrive with the latest bulletins of the horrific story that unfolded in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. As stunned crowds snaked around the Star-Telegram building, hungrily grabbing each "extra" edition for any morsel of new information, few could have realized that the scene was already an anachronism. Television's seminal and cathartic role during those four days in November -- from nearly the moment the president was shot on a Friday afternoon to the live coverage of Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald two days later to the somber Monday telecast of a state funeral -- is well documented. The television set served as the focal point for a grieving nation in a way that it never had before in the then-short history of the medium. But Oswald's bullets also set in motion forces that still shape how the media cover the news -- print and broadcast -- and how the government must deal with the powerful 24/7 newsgathering force of television. Until the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, the Friday-Monday span of assassination-related TV coverage marked the longest time that regularly scheduled national network programming was pre-empted for a news event.
