Sam Sifton has been the New York Times restaurant critic for just four weeks, and already he is full of surprises.

We did not believe that this restaurant would get one star , based on the “meh” reviews we’ve read elsewhere. But we are glad that when Sifton gives a star, the restaurant...

Unlike most theatre these days, Idiot Savant leaves its audience with more questions than answers. Its unique and original nature, while almost never crystal clear, forces us to think, and see, in ways rarely required by traditional narrative.

Recommended Reviewed by Glenn Erickson Remarkable movie star Claudette Colbert was always considered at the very top of her game over a film career that lasted 34 years, 50 if you count an extra TV movie appearance. A consummate professional, she played the game her own way, neither fighting to be the best-regarded actress nor the most desired lover. Stories about her on-set demands never reached...

Who is Paul Sullivan? I only know of him because of masaccio , who pointed out this extraordinary NYTimes column , in which he appears to have inverted the plot of Preston Sturges' classic film Sullivan's Travels . Instead of discovering the misery in the poverty stricken America of the Great Depression, as Sturges' protaganist John L. Sullivan did, our modern day Sullivan discovered the travails...
