WHEN Jonathan Groff got cast in "Hair" last year, his mother had one question: "Do you have to take your clothes off again?" Since "Spring Awakening" had him dropping trou eight times a week, you could see her point. Relax, Mrs. Groff - Claude...

Among the many great innovations of the 1968 Broadway hit “Hair” (now in revival at the Delacorte)--noise as music, color-blind casting--perhaps none was more titillating, and incendiary, than the show’s interest in miscegenation. In the musical, a black dude named Hud--part of the tribe of hippies . . .

For years I've shown films in class, primarily John Stossel's fine work and the PBS series "The Commanding Heights." I've usually shown at least half of the films, typically the entire works. My approach is changing, however, thanks to Dirk...

Diane Keaton. Jeff Daniels. Jon Heder. Anna Faris. That's a lot of star power for a movie to go straight to

Jessica Simpson and co-star Ashley Ednar. (Image courtesy New Line Home Entertainment) There are lots of things I'd never want to see combined -- bacon and Peach Schnapps, a hybrid shark/sloth (cuz it would be the slowest death ever), me and Diane Keaton in a Port-a-Jon.
