There is a distinct ’70s sheen to the Criterion Channel’s September lineup: a decades-spanning Robert Altman retrospective with everything from Nashville and The Long Goodbye to That Cold Day in the Park and The Company; a highlight of the decade’s best thrillers; and a Klute–Parallax–President Alan J. Pakula set all mark the month, while even “Nunsploitation” program primarily stems from the decade. Retrospectives are rounded out by a Jodie Foster retrospective that gives one chance to reconsider The Beaver.

Criterion Editions include Grey Gardens, The Wind Will Carry Us, Me and You and Everyone We Know, Sorcerer, Altman’s Tanner ’88, and Olivier Assayas’ Carlos, a film that would probably rank higher in estimations of his career were it more regularly streaming. Restorations of Undercurrent, Fresh Kill, and City of Ghosts make their debut, while you can say you watched The Crow (a new addition to ’90s Soundtracks) in a high-class way.

The Story: A goofball gym teacher (Mark Harmon) is forced to teach a remedial English class over the summer.

The Players: Starring: Mark Harmon, Kirstie Alley, Dean Cameron, Courtney Thorne-Smith & Shawnee Smith. Music by Danny Elfman. Directed by Carl Reiner.

The History: Hollywood spent a couple of years trying to make Mark Harmon happen as a movie star. Fresh off an arc on “St. Elsewhere” which infamously had his character contract AIDS from a one-night stand, his career was red hot. For a while, he was seriously considered to replace Don Johnson on “Miami Vice” after contract negotiations fell through, and in 1987-88, we got a bunch of starring vehicles that would try him out in a variety of genres to see if one would stick. He did action in The Presidio (even doing his own stunts – although the film was stolen by co-star Sean Connery), drama in Stealing Home,...

Mark Harmon had an exciting year in 1986, beginning on January 27, 1986, when he was named People’s second-ever Sexist Man Alive. The following month, Harmon’s three-season run ended on the medical drama television series St. Elsewhere, in which his character, Dr. Robert Caldwell, became one of the first television characters in history to die after contracting AIDS.

After leaving St. Elsewhere, Harmon shocked audiences by playing real-life serial killer Ted Bundy in the 1986 four-hour television miniseries The Deliberate Stranger. In stark contrast to the inherent sense of integrity and morality that became the hallmark of his iconic portrayal of Leroy Jethro Gibbs on NCIS, Harmon’s Bundy is a charming, sadistic creep...

Mark Harmon first gained a measure of stardom on the medical drama television series St. Elsewhere, in which Harmon’s character, Dr. Robert Caldwell, became one of the first television characters to die from AIDS. Harmon left St. Elsewhere in 1986 when he was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive and received excellent reviews for his chilling performance as serial killer Ted Bundy in the made-for-television film The Deliberate Stranger.

Harmon embarked on a feature film career with the 1987 comedy film Summer School, which was a modest commercial success. Harmon next starred alongside Sean Connery in the 1988 crime film The Presidio, in which he, in a precursor to his iconic run on NCIS, plays a former military cop...

One character from White Collar needs to return for the upcoming revival despite having only appeared in a single episode of the original Matt Bomer show. Though updates on White Collar's revival have been minimal, audiences can get excited knowing that many of the original cast members are expected to, including Bomer as Neal Caffrey and Tim DeKay as Peter Burke. That being said, there has been nothing regarding potential supporting or guest stars for the revival, even though those smaller characters were essential for White Collar to work.

White Collar, even with its larger arcs, was at its core a procedural, allowing the series to bring in new characters to complicate the relationships of New York's White Collar unit. Many of those smaller White Collar characters were the catalysts for the action-filled adventures the pair embarked on, such as Ben Ryan (Joe Manganiello) in "Neighborhood Watch", but also...

Kevin Costner knows sports movies, having starred in several of the genre's best and/or most successful. Baseball is of particular interest to the actor, as he has played baseball players in "Stealing Home," the sizeable hit "Bull Durham," the even bigger hit "Field of Dreams," Sam Raimi's "For Love of the Game," and the heady drama "The Upside of Anger." Additionally, Costner appeared in the cycling film "American Flyers," the golf film "Tin Cup," the football film "Draft Day," and the water polo film "Waterworld."

Even when done poorly, sports movies can be inspiring and exhilarating. There is something comforting and reliable about the genre. Even if a sports movie boasts a predictable story about an underdog athlete, a sports team overcoming incredible odds, or a well-worn tale of an egotist champion humbled by real life, audiences are going to feel good on the way out. For American audiences,...

Helen Hunt is an award-winning actress and director who established herself on the silver screen with popular films like Twisters, As Good As It Gets, and Pay It Forward. Born in Culver City, California, Hunt started acting as a child, appearing on hit television shows including The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Facts of Life, and earning minor film roles. In 1984, she earned her first major film role in the science-fiction movie, Trancers, and continued to appear in films throughout the decade, including Peggy Sue Got Married, Project X, and Stealing Home.

In a 2021 interview with The New York Times, Jodie Foster, one of our most guarded movie stars, confessed, "I am a solitary, internal person in an extroverted, external job. I don't think I will ever not feel lonely. It's a theme in my life. It's not such a bad thing. I don't need to be known by everyone."

Movie stardom can be a curse in this regard. Each performance, splashed across a big screen and examined time and again in the home-viewing format of your choosing, draws us near to them. We want to know them, befriend them, tear up the town with them... we want them. And since we are typically not an empathetic species (particularly in the United States), too many of us do not understand why these seemingly blessed individuals recoil from the public eye or feel ambivalent about their success.

This tension has been the central theme of Foster's career,...

Mark Harmon, or special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs in a longtime role on CBS’s NCIS series, has signed with Gersh.

Harmon originated his Gibbs character with a guest appearance on Jag before being spun off to lead NCIS, a role he played on the CBS procedural for nearly two decades before signing off from his final case in 2021. Going into the ninth season, he was promoted to executive producer on NCIS and was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In the 11th season, Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Harmon worked closely with showrunner Gary Glasberg on a special two-episode arc that reunited the Gibbs character with an old comrade working a case in New Orleans. Those episodes became the pilot for NCIS: Nola, also known as NCIS: New Orleans, with Harmon serving as executive producer on the spinoff.

Harmon also developed, executive produced and starred in Certain Prey,...

Willie Nelson will turn 87 on April 29th — on April 24th, he’ll release his 70th album. Titled First Rose of Spring, the record features two new songs written by Nelson with producer Buddy Cannon, and Nelson’s interpretations of tracks penned by Toby Keith, Chris Stapleton, and his longtime friend and contemporary Billy Joe Shaver. The country legend, whose last album was Ride Me Back Home, tackles Keith’s “Don’t Let the Old Man In,” Stapleton’s “Our Song,” and Shaver’s “We Are the Cowboys.”

Graphic novel Rottentail heads to the big screen with an adaptation by Brian Skiba and co-creator David C. Hayes. Starring Corin Nemec, William McNamara, Dominique Swain, Laurie Love, Gianni Capaldi and Byron Browne, Rottentail tells the bizarre tale of young Peter Cotton, who grew up in the town of Easter Falls and loves rabbits…

Peter’s Science project on rabbit breeding is ruined when the school bullies beat up, and actually kill, his rabbit. Years later, the kind but still shy Dr. Cotton works steadily and gently with his rabbits to cure human infertility. Unbeknownst to Peter, the military is perverting his work, developing fierce soldiers with strength far exceeding a human of their size, and with Peter’s fertility serum, the ability to breed in the field. Peter discovers the true nature of the experiment and attempts to stop it. But in an accident of poetic justice, a bite...

Although it's dark and gruesome, it's hard to not become obsessed with HBO's adaptation of Gillian Flynn's mystery thriller Sharp Objects. It flaunts dreamy visual language, chilling nonlinear storytelling, and, of course, an incredibly talented cast. Besides the obvious headliners like Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson, you'll even recognize the talented forces behind minor characters, like Adora's chatty friend Annie.

In the fourth episode of the HBO series, Camille meets up with her mother's friends, who engage in wine-fueled gossip about Wind Gap's recent deaths. In the circle of women, pearl-donning Annie is especially enthusiastic about making speculations, demanding that Camille spill tea about the case. In the conversation, we learn that her love for gossip is as strong as her razor-sharp zingers. There's a moment when Jackie accuses Bob Nash of the murder since she's caught him staring at her chest. Annie,...

Harold Ramis, the man behind "Ghostbusters" and "Groundhog Day," passed away last February at the age of 69. Like many, the Writers Guild of America hasn't forgotten the impact he made over a 38-year career. The organization announced Tuesday that they will honor the writer/director/actor with the WGA's 2015 Laurel Award for Screenwriting Achievement at the Writers Guild Awards ceremony next month. Ramis' wife, Erica Mann Ramis, and family will accept the award on his behalf. In a release, WGAw Vice President Howard A. Rodman noted, "Harold Ramis changed the face of comedy. His death last year deprived us of his unique way of seeing the world, at once hilarious and wise. From his early work with 'National Lampoon' and 'Sctv' through 'Animal House,' 'Meatballs,' 'Caddyshack' and 'Ghostbusters,' Ramis' voice was strong, clear, outrageous in all the best ways.

The Writers Guild of America, West has chosen late screenwriter-director-actor-producer Harold Ramis to receive its Laurel Award for Screenwriting Achievement, awarded to a Writers Guild member who has advanced the literature of motion pictures and made outstanding contributions to the profession of the screenwriter. Erica Mann Ramis and family will accept the award on Ramis’ behalf at the Writers Guild Awards ceremony on Saturday, February 14. Harold Ramis passed away on February 24, 2014 at the age of 69. From today’s announcement:

“Harold Ramis changed the face of comedy. His death last year deprived us of his unique way of seeing the world, at once hilarious and wise. From his early work with National Lampoon and Sctv through Animal House, Meatballs, Caddyshack, and Ghostbusters, Ramis’ voice was strong, clear, outrageous in all the best ways. His unrealized projects – an adaptation of Confederacy of Dunces, a biopic about Emma Goldman – leave us aching with...

Harold Ramis shaped my sense of humor. If you watched a movie in the 1970s, .80s or .90s, he shaped yours, as well. Similarly to the way we did when Philip Seymour Hoffman recently died, many film fans began poring over the films Ramis left us with upon his own passing. And similarly to Hoffman.s, his was a staggering output of unquestionable classics. Stripes. Knocked Up. Baby Boom. Stealing Home. Freaking Ghostbusters. Any actor would sell their first-born child to have one of those films on his or her resume. Ramis had all five, and then some. When he transitioned to directing, Ramis showed the same sense of brilliant timing and witty, mild-mannered observational humor that made him the perfect straight man to the likes of Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd in his finest comedies. Ramis also made the best possible decisions at the exact right time on his...

Check out this exclusive sneak peek at the latest "White Collar" episode, titled "Taking Stock." The episode may focus on Diana (Marsha Thomason) exposing a corrupt stock broker, but we're more interested in what Peter will do about Neal.

In the wake of Rebecca having fooled them all, Neal (Matt Bomer) just wants to look forward, wondering what his future will be like. Peter (Tim DeKay) says it's time to find a new handler, but Neal doesn't want a new handler. He wants out.

Neal says he's spoken with a lawyer and could maybe get his sentence dropped, but a recommendation from Peter is critical to that happening. What will Peter do?

This episode marks DeKay's third time directing for the popular USA drama. He previously helmed "Stealing Home" in Season 3 and "Empire City" in Season 4.

"White Collar" airs Thursday nights at 9 p.m. Et/Pt on USA.

ABC’s Tuesday sitcoms held up well this week, even without a fresh S.H.I.E.L.D. opening the night.

Leading out of an encore of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot — which drew 4.3 million total viewers and a 1.2 rating (aka about half of the freshman drama’s week-ago numbers) — The Goldbergs did 5.4 mil and a 1.7, adding a few eyeballs and steady in the demo.

Trophy Wife then upped the ante by gaining viewers (with 4.3 mil) and rising two tenths in the demo (1.4).

Perhaps Fox’s...

White Collar classed it up this week, as Neal and Peter tracked down a felon selling fake taxi medallions on "Empire City."

I’ve never seen Mozzie in a more appropriate work setting than in a cab. It has everything he needs: mobility, anonymity and gossip. Not to mention an outlet for a slew of witty one-liners. No wonder he was so adamant that the individual impersonating him, and his supplier, were promptly put to a stop.

I’m just grateful that the investigation led to an old jazz club. I may not be an expert, but I can appreciate the old-school class that embodies the jazz era - and no one fits more perfectly into it than Neal.

In all honesty, though, his classiness paled in comparison to June’s. She’s got a great voice and Diahann Carroll killed it. I’d certainly love to see her live...

No matter what you thought of Jodie Foster's Golden Globes speech, you have to admit the woman is an all-star actress. She's been in more than 40 films and over 25 TV series, so it was hard to decide what her best role ever could be. It wasn't hard, though, to discuss how good she was in every single one.

Group, what's your favorite Jodie Foster film?

Dorothy Snarker: I absolutely, positively cannot pick just one because she was my very first crush. So there. Rules be damned. For sentimental reasons, Stealing Home because it came out during my formative years and I watched it on a seemingly endless loop on our family's contraband HBO feed. Those blue eyes mesmerized me. For action reasons, Flightplan because she took a role originally written for a male lead and helped to, again, show that women...

Admit it: You've seen "Dirty Dancing" more times than you'd care to admit. You're drawn in by its blend of music, dance, nostalgia, and romance between macho-yet-tender Johnny (Patrick Swayze) and awkward-yet-brave Baby (Jennifer Grey) every time it's on TV. Which is often: it seems to have been running on endless loop since its release 25 years ago, on August 21, 1987. Still, as much as you love "Dirty Dancing," you may not realize how often the production skirted disaster, from almost not being made at all, to almost not casting Swayze, to almost cutting a key subplot to please a squeamish potential corporate sponsor, to its catastrophic test screenings that almost led the film's backers to let the film go unreleased and write it off as a bad investment. How did all that trauma lead to moviegoers having the time of their lives? Read on. 1. Writer/producer Eleanor Bergstein based the story on her own childhood.

Taylor Cole loves playing bad girls, but this summer, she's back on the side of the law.

The actress and ex-model spent the final season of CBS' "CSI: Miami" as a lab technician-turned-field agent. Shortly after that, she echoed her former role on NBC's "The Event" as a presumed-dead but still-lethal villain who all but destroyed the team's headquarters in the season finale of "Hawaii Five-0."

Now Cole is back in a Florida setting -- and pursuing justice again -- in Season 3 of A&E Network's Sunday drama "The Glades." She's just settling into her new role as police bureau chief Jennifer Starke, but it shouldn't take long for her to shake up the already shaky relationship of Detective Jim Longworth (Matt Passmore) and unhappily wed nurse Callie Cargill (Kiele Sanchez).

"I was shooting 'CSI: Miami' right...

Procedurals can fall into a pattern and there’s not too much to differentiate one season from another. That’s why USA’s White Collar continues to be one of the better shows of its kind. It’s not afraid to mix up the chemistry and threaten the harmony that hangs over the success. To mark the Season 4 premiere, USA released the White Collar Season 3 DVD for those who need to catch up and for those diehards who want to ramp up to the new season with a marathon of the best season yet. A major theme this season was all of the major relationships were reset, namely with Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) and his co-workers Peter Burke, Diana Barrigan, and Clinton Jones (Tim DeKay, Marsha Thomason, and Sharif Atkins) or Neal and Mozzie (Willie Garson), while others were just beginning, like Neal and Sara Ellis (Hilarie Burton).

At the end of season two,...

White Collar returns this summer, but the new tagline is, “Will Neal Return?”

I say no. Not right away. At least not back to the White Collar Division in New York. For the first time in the history of White Collar I believe that we will see a cliffhanger drawn out for a few episodes. Let’s see what’s happened and take a guess at what direction Jeff Eastin and the White Collar writers want to and maybe should take. I have nothing to base this on except for the episodes that we’ve seen, with a focus on the events of the Season 3 finale.

The Cliffhanger

By default, Neal had no choice but to run off with lil’ Leilana and Mozzie. The question is to where are they running? Europe? Paris specifically? This is still a satisfying end as a cliffhanger to season four. We can cheer that...

What makes a house a home? Is it the love we feel for each other? Is it the care and attention we put into decorating it? Or, as in the case of the Hicks family, is it the number of deaths that that occur because of it?

Once you can look past the ignored logistics of moving a house (permits, detaching it correctly, neighbor notifications, time to plan, etc.) "Stealing Home" was a unique and entertaining twist on the typical “who done it” story we tend to get with CSI. This is even truer when you add in the twist like Debbie not being dead, the guy in the wall not being Walter, but finding out that the guy in the wall was Marla’s real father.

And no respectable episode about a moving (or flying) house is complete without a nod to The Wizard of Oz. The legs with...

White Collar S03E15: "Stealing Home"

Now that Neal's up for commutation next week, all his friends and co-workers have found themselves at a crossroads: Testify on his behalf to the advisory panel and get their friend's sentence overturned, or be honest about the fact that he occasionally falls off the wagon when it comes to stealing untold fortunes? It's telling that everyone.especially Peter, recently returned Sara, and newly engaged Diana (congrats, girl!).all desperately wants...  More >>...

In the penultimate episode of Season 3 of White Collar, Neal (Matt Bomer) and Mozzie (Willie Garson) get scouted to help out Gordon Taylor, an elusive contract con man moved into New York City for his next job and always hires local. He never gets caught and all the men on his jobs get paid, handsomely. The target, Yankee Stadium, and more specifically, a piece of Yankee history, a home run ball hit by The Babe. But Neal has to be careful as his commutation hearing is coming up so he can’t do anything that could end up as ammunition used against him.

But this is White Collar, where everything auspiciously comes together to move the story along. The cons run sexy and smooth and no matter how great of a con man they target, in this case, Taylor, they never seems to be enough chatter amongst thieves that Neal is a C.

Yankee Stadium, an infamous con artist, a big score and a crew that could only be made better with Neal and Mozzie on board, even as they played the eyes and ears of the FBI?

Indeed, White Collar swung for the fences in "Stealing Home," which marked Tim DeKay's directorial debut and served as an epic lead-in to what will no doubt be an intense season finale next week.

But that's next week.

Here, nothing could have been more fitting than temptation ruling the day, given that Neal's commutation hearing is only a few days away. Yet the closer we get to the finale, the more convinced I am that Neal really does have his heart set on staying in the Big Apple.

Even as Neal's intentions appear purer and purer, it seems Agent Kramer's are becoming less and less so. As Kramer and his team continued to occupy the New York FBI office,...

Tim DeKay played catcher throughout his high school baseball career, a position often described as the director of the field. That seems fitting for the "White Collar" actor, since he directed Tuesday night's all-new episode (8 p.m. Est on USA), entitled "Stealing Home."

"It's the only player who faces a completely opposite direction than all of his teammates," DeKay told HuffPost TV. "The catcher sees the entire field, knows what everyone should be doing."

So when he found out that he was going to get the chance to direct an episode of "White Collar," DeKay -- who already has a few short films under his director's belt -- was ready for the challenge. "They knew that I wanted to direct since Season 1," said DeKay. "They approached me and said, 'You should direct next season.' Consequently, I'll be directing an episode every season. Fortunately, the stars aligned, and I got to direct a baseball episode.

Tim DeKay was a little surprised when he first learned he’d be directing “Stealing Home,” Tuesday’s episode of White Collar. It was a chance he’d always wanted and he was ready for the challenge (having already stood behind the camera on some short films). But there was one thing he wasn’t expecting: having to helm an episode that heavily featured his character, Peter Burke.

“I was surprised!” he says. “I wasn’t as heavy in the one prior… but I didn’t think Peter would be as heavy in this episode.” The curve ball took a little extra maneuvering,...

To many baseball fans, the New York Yankees swipe talent from other ball clubs, pay these players exorbitant contracts and use them to win one World Series after another.

This is a misguided notion, of course, but Neal Caffrey will look to turn the tables on Tuesday's new episode of White Collar, setting out to... rob Yankee Stadium?!? Yes, that's the task at hands on the aptly-titled "Stealing Home," at least according to Peter in the following USA Network promo.

The upcoming installment was actually shot at the iconic locale, which will serve as the centerpiece for the show's penultimate outing of the season. See what's ahead now:

Tonight's episode starts off promising for Isabella, as she seems poised to consummate her budding relationship with Frank, a wealthy professional baseball player. Their evening is ruined, however, by an intruder who makes off with a gym bag and a prestigious trophy. They enlist the help of Walter Sherman, Finder, but he's reluctant to help, finding Frank's focus on the gym bag over the trophy suspicious. Isabel insists, however, and the Finder takes the case.

White Collar continues its Season 3 run with the all-new Episoe 3.12: Upper West Side Story this Tuesday night at 10/9c, on USA. When scholarship funds from a prestigious prep school mysteriously disappear, Neal (Matthew Bomer) poses as a substitute teacher to help Peter (Tim DeKay) and the FBI figure out where the money is really going.

Title: Buzz Kill Director: Steven Kampmann (‘Stealing Home’) Starring: Daniel Raymont (TV’s ‘The Naked Brothers Band,’ ‘Smash’), Krysten Ritter (TV’s ‘Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23′) and Darrell Hammond People sometimes take drastic measure when trying to achieve their dreams, and surprisingly, through twists of fate, the acts can actually pay off. The new independent comedy ‘Buzz Kill,’ directed and co-written by actor Steven Kampmann, amusingly shows the extreme measure people take to carry out their professional goals. While those around down-on-his-luck Ray Wyatt view him as being immature and refusing to grow up, Ray thinks of himself as staying true to his dreams. ‘Buzz Kill’ follows Ray (played...

Krysten Ritter and Daniel Raymont drive each other crazy in BuzzKill.

Daniel Raymont (Bride Wars), Krysten Ritter (She Out of My League) and Darrell Hammond (TV’s Saturday Night Live) star in the 2010 independent dark comedy film BuzzKill.

In the movie, Raymont plays Ray, who, between his professional and personal problems, which include a girlfriend who wants him to grow up (Reiko Aylesworth, TV’s Hawaii Five-o) and a girl-toy (Ritter) who wants him to loosen up, decides he’s finished with life. Just as he’s about to give up, Ray becomes famous when a notorious serial killer, named the “Karaoke-Killer,” steals his car and latest book. Fame and fortune are suddenly at Ray’s door-step … but no one can find him.

Directed and co-written by Steve Kampmann (Stealing Home), BuzzKill is presented by the renowned Second City comedy troupe,...

Looks like agent Peter Burke is going to spend some time behind the cameras this season on the USA Network drama, "White Collar".

Tim DeKay, who plays FBI agent Burke, will be making his television directing debut with the episode, "Stealing Home," set to air February 2012. The episode, set around a "priceless stolen baseball," began shooting Tuesday in New York City, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

"It's interesting because I look at it from an actor's point of view," DeKay told The Hollywood Reporter last week. "It confirms my thought about always relying on the director when he or she gives me a note. To a degree, they perhaps know the moment a little better than I do as an actor because [they've] been with the script much longer."

In more "White Collar" news, Hal Ozsan (90210, Californication) will appear as Gordon Taylor, a thief from the U.K. Gordon came to Manhattan...

The “suit” is sitting in the chair, the director’s chair that is. White Collar star Tim DeKay will try his hand at directing and will helm the episode “Stealing Home” that is set to air in the middle of the second half of Season Three in February 2012. DeKay told The Hollywood Reporter that directing will be different because he’s coming from the actor’s point of view. ”It confirms my thought about always relying on the director when he or she gives me a note. To a degree, they perhaps know the moment a little better than I do as an actor because [they've] been with the script much longer.” We also find out that “Stealing Home” is an episode where a priceless baseball is stolen and Hal Ozsan (Californication, 90210) will guest-star as Gordon Taylor, a con artist from Great Britain who is assembling a super-team of con artists for his next big job.
