Deutschland 83, Season 1, Episode 5, “Cold Fire”
Written by Anna Winger
Directed by Edward Berger
Airs Wednesdays at 11pm (Et) on SundanceTV
Last week’s episode of Deutschland 83 ended with Martin taking refuge with Yvonne at the commune after burying Linda’s body in the woods. Some of the emotional distaste of him immediately seeking the solace of another woman was alleviated by a fun, spacey little dance sequence accented with disco lights and Fischer-z’s “Cruise Missiles.” However the opening of “Cold Fire” doesn’t afford Martin that glossy cover: he’s just rolling around in bed with Yvonne, and it’s a little off-putting. But everyone grieves in their own way. According to Yvonne, Martin’s way is to get wasted and tell a bunch of Osho followers that he’s a spy, which she doesn’t believe. “I am a spy,” he deadpans before rolling on top...

NeNe Leakes told Cynthia Bailey's husband, Peter Thomas, to stop acting like "a bitch" on Sunday's The Real Housewives of Atlanta", and the word and its delivery was nearly enough to break up a close friendship.
After Thomas and Gregg Leakes went loco in Mexico, and NeNe inserted herself into the ongoing masquerade ball battle – telling Thomas that he needed to stay out of the women's business – the longtime friends went after one another.
"The way he came at me I didn't really appreciate it," Thomas told his wife after everyone had returned from the trip. "He told me...

Last year, I wrote an article for Autism Awareness Month, covering three films that focus on this subject matter (those three being Mozart and the Whale, Chocolate and Temple Grandin).
Since last year’s article was well received, I thought that it would be good to do another one this year covering three new films from different countries and genres. If you are interested in reading the previous article, I have added a link at the bottom for you to enjoy.
After Thomas (dir. Simon Shore) – 2006
Based on the book A Friend Like Henry written by Nuala Gardner, this ITV drama focuses on the story of the married couple Rob Graham (Ben Miles) and Nicola Graham (Keeley Hawes) as they struggle to control the behavior of their six-year-old autistic son, Kyle (Andrew Byrne). As Kyle hates everyday social activity, Rob and Nicola have a hard time to communicate with him that also affects their relationship.

Chicago – So there I was at a packed awards consideration screening for Stephen Daldry’s latest prestige-filled tearjerker. Though a few of my fellow colleagues were grumbling about the grim task of sitting through more Daldry Oscar bait, my heart was filled with goodwill. I loved Daldry’s feature debut, “Billy Elliot,” and had plenty of favorable things to say about “The Hours” and “The Reader.”
Yet it was only 10 minutes into “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” that I began to wonder if the projectionist was playing a practical joke on us. Surely this picture couldn’t have been the work of a three-time Oscar nominee. On the occasions when it became too painful to keep my eyes focused on the screen, I glanced at the expressions of my peers, which looked like outtakes from the “Springtime for Hitler” sequence in “The Producers.” When the horrible reality sunk in that the...

When a film is introduced by a loud woman throwing beer bottles at you to drink – together with t-shirts, caps and other assorted merchandise – you can’t help but feel nervous about the impending feature’s quality. When they follow it up with ping-pong and beach balls to chuck around the auditorium, you positively start to panic. What else can this mobile booze and ball games be for, save for distracting everyone from what we’ve come to see?
“This will all make sense when you’ve seen the film,” she assures us, pinging a ball with surprising velocity towards an unsuspecting bespectacled gentleman in the fifth row. Well, 90 minutes later I’m none the wiser. But, thankfully, there was no need to intoxicate the critics for this comedy – it’s one of the funniest I’ve seen in years.
