A major theater chain is coming very close to perfecting the worst possible way to watch a movie.
Cinépolis revealed plans to put a children’s playground in movie theaters. The first-of-its kind design in the U.S. (photo above) plops a 55-foot long and 25-foot high “play structure” inside the auditorium itself.
The first two “Cinépolis Junior” theaters will open this month in Southern California.
The move comes at a time when most cinema chains — led by pioneer Alamo Drafthouse Cinema — are becoming increasingly strict about limiting disruptions in theaters by banning talking,...

Even the most die-hard Beatles fans may not know the name of Andy White, who died Monday after a stroke at the age of 85, but they've certainly heard his drumming. As a regular session musician for Emi in 1962, the Scottish-born White was hired by George Martin to replace Ringo Starr during the recording of the Fab Four's first single, "Love Me Do," as well as its B-side, "P.S. I Love You." As Ian MacDonald puts in his exhaustive history of the Beatles' records, the switch to White was emblematic of a musical conservatism the group would soon overthrow: In an earlier effort on the track, "Starr had failed to 'lock-in' his bass-drum with the bass guitar ... a convention of the polite studio style of the early Sixties." (According to other observers, Starr had also been rushing the pre-chorus, which adds to the song's legend as a Scylla...

Chicago – David Chase, the man who seduced audiences with HBO’s “The Sopranos” before leaving them hanging in one of the most brilliantly audacious finales in TV history, is certainly not a fan of tidy endings. He understands that suggestion and implication can be infinitely more powerful than closure, and he beautifully applies this principle to his feature directorial debut, “Not Fade Away.”
This is not the usual coming-of-age picture where a boy achieves his dreams and finds his place in the world on his journey toward manhood. There are no simple answers in Chase’s film, and not even a distinct sense of direction. In its final moments, the young hero is wandering unfamiliar streets attempting to hitch a ride back to a girl who may or may not be waiting for him. And yet, in that one sublime moment, he has found a sense of inner serenity. He knows exactly who he is,...

Emi has been forced to recall a vinyl re-release of The Beatles' 'Love Me Do', after pressing a version of the 1962 hit without Ringo Starr on it. The re-issue was scheduled to coincide with the anniversary of the band's first single on October 5, but has had to be taken off sale after the label noticed the mistake, reports The Examiner. Instead of reproducing the recording featuring Starr that was made on September 4, 1962, Emi accidentally duplicated the Please, Please Me album version of the track, on which session drummer Andy White played drums. White was brought in by producer George Martin, who after having heard former band member Pete Best and his replacement Starr play on the track, was said to be unhappy with both recordings. Although the version with White on drums went on to be used in the first Us pressings of the single, (more)...
