Vulture (Free subscription) | yesterday

Entourage College Humor does the whole HBO slate of shows if their pre-show warning cards were truthful. Sadly, Sex and the City , where a PTMYWTD: "puns that make you want to die" warning would always be appreciated, is missing, but The Entourage and The Sopranos ones are especially on-target.

HBO's harrowing 'Terror in Mumbai'

post-gazette.com (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009

There's nothing entertaining in the 64-minute HBO documentary "Terror in Mumbai" (8 tonight), a harrowing, disturbing chronicle of last year's terrorist attacks in India. If anything, the horror on display made me feel guilty for enjoying the faux terrorism used as entertainment in shows like "24" and "Sleeper Cell."

HBO filmmakers get inside Obama campaign

NEW YORK – Pivotal presidential campaigns are frequently defined in retrospect by documentaries. "The War Room" chronicled Bill Clinton's political operation in 1992, adding a phrase to the political lexicon in the process.
