Donald Trump has come under fire for his ongoing refusal to release his tax returns, with a blunt "It's none of your business." And even though he maintains that there's "nothing to learn" from the returns, experts say they contain plenty of information voters should know about the billionaire businessman. Let's start with someone who has actually seen Trump's tax returns. Bloomberg View executive editor Timothy L. O'Brien viewed Trump's federal tax returns approximately 10 years ago, after the real estate mogul sued O'Brien for libel. "I think there probably are some things to be learned from them … despite Trump's statements to the contrary,...

Andy Warhol famously said, "Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets," but clearly he never saw "Monster's Ball." If uncomfortably awkward love scenes don't bother you, this weekend's indie offerings may be just for you.
Check out "The Sessions," featuring an oft-naked Helen Hunt as a sexual surrogate trying to pleasure a disabled virgin (John Hawkes). And, if that's not enough, there's also "The First Time," which highlights a laughably awful (or realistic, depending on your experience) adolescent deflowering.
From the comedic to the absurd to the downright depressing, here are 12 cringe-inducing sex scenes we've compiled for your viewing (dis)pleasure.
12. 'Dave' (1993)
Presidents having affairs is not exactly a taboo subject – particularly during the Clinton Administration, when this comedy came out – but Presidents (or anyone for that matter) suffering a stroke during a sexual tryst is not exactly pleasant to watch. President...

Star Gilles Pelletier in a 1960 publicity photo. Normal 0 false false false En-us X-none X-none MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
By Harvey Chartrand
In 1959-60, the distinguished Quebec actor Gilles Pelletier (who had earlier appeared in Otto Preminger’s The 13th Letter and in Alfred Hitchcock’s I Confess) came to Ottawa to shoot 39 episodes of the R.C.M.P. television series, coproduced by Crawley Films, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Executive producer F.R. “Budge” Crawley cast Pelletier as Corporal Jacques Gagnier, a Mountie working at a detachment in rural northern Saskatchewan. Interiors were shot on a brand-new soundstage near Ottawa at Old Chelsea, Quebec. Exteriors were filmed in nearby Aylmer, Quebec, and in Outlook, Saskatchewan, which stood in for the fictional western town of Shamattawa, the center of the action of this contemporary adventure series.
Casting a Québécois in the lead role was considered a gutsy move at the time, but...

Marti goes to her law professor, Julian Parrish, with Vanessa at her side to talk him into not revealing the video evidence against Jake so they could have one last chance to keep the Hellcats from total destruction. All of my hopes for Red Raymond were then squashed when he invited Bill Marsh to the party and the proposed throwing money for fight for Parrish's three strikes law, at the expense of Travis.
My girl Marti - not having any of it. She says what I've always wanted to say, "Football is not too big to fail." Oh how I hate the world of professional sports and what they get away with just so people can watch a game. Breathe, Carissa, breathe. I breathed just long enough to find out that Red is in on the plan. Oh my mind was so easily lead astray! In my heart, Red was good,...

While you were sleeping, innovation was whisking its love away for a cruise on its private yacht, and then erecting a paywall around her so that no one could see her. Strange, that.
1. The Los Angeles Times has documented what life is like as a cleanup worker in Louisiana. The protective suit is so hot that the workers are forced to take regular breaks, making locals think that they're lazy. Speaking of suits, the top brass at Bp--which is selling off its South American assets to China in an attempt to raise $9 billion--are finding more and more ways to look as bad as they can. Latest is claims that chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg sailed off on his yacht with a married mother of three at the start of the crisis. And take a look at the firm's troubleshooter on Capitol Hill. It's Bp's Washington lobbyist, Tony Podesta, interviewed in the New York Times.

There are a lot of movies out there. Many of them more repugnant than stuff you find on the bottom of your shoe after a stroll through the sewer, but many of them are treasures like finding $20 in the pocket of a jacket you haven't worn in a couple of years.
The point is, there is a lot of great cinema out there that even some of the biggest film fans haven't had the chance (or taken the chance) to sit down and watch.
With "The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" opening up this weekend, I thought this would be a great opportunity to introduce you to my 4 favorite Ben Kingsley films that you probably haven't seen yet.
Why haven't you seen these films yet?
Well, there are probably a lot of different reasons. Some of these movies are pretty old, some didn't have mass appeal and so...

For its 50th anniversary, the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design is going cross-disciplinary, inviting experts in fields as varied as architecture, technology, and global energy to delve into areas that you might not imagine to be typical design fodder, including entertainment, health, and transportation. They've been prepping for the meet by redesigning the way we think in all these fields. So, for instance, MIT Media Lab professor Bill Mitchell is heading up the "studio" on electric vehicles, "Reinventing the Automobile 2050." Drawing ideas from team members in various industries, they've come up with the stylish two-seater CityCar, a collapsible, stackable car designed to be deployed much like cycles in a bike-sharing program. Which is great, except that we hope we don't really have to wait until 2050. -- Acl
