I'm still catching up on the first season of In Treatment on DVD, but that doesn't make me any less excited for this first glimpse of season two, which will start April 5 on HBO. This season's schedule for the show, which stars Gabriel Byrne as a therapist, is a little more forgiving. Instead of airing five nights a week, two of the half-hour episodes will play on Sundays with three more Read more

Katie Holmes hit the stage to perform in All My Sons on Broadway last night, but this time it was different. It was the show's official opening night and Katie's smile was bigger than ever as she took her bow and posed outside after the play. Of course, Tom Cruise was there to support his wife and I'm sure found time to gush even more about her performance at the after party. The only damper on Read more

This first trailer for a new thriller called Passengers starring Anne Hathaway and directed by Rodrigo García (who wrote episodes of In Treatment and has directed shows including Six Feet Under) is puzzling for several reasons. For one thing I haven't heard all that much about it, even though it opens next month. For another, it's difficult to understand what specifically this is about. Here's Read more

The show, which stars Gabriel Byrne as a therapist, is one of the more unusual programs to appear on HBO in recent years.

See, HBO recently released its schedule for the show, and it's ... intense. The show will air half-hour episodes five times a week for nine weeks. That's a total of 45 episodes — double the number a regular series airs in nine Read more

The totally awesome Dianne Wiest has joined the cast of "The Return of Jezebel James", playing the mother of Coco (Lauren Ambrose) and Sarah (Parker Posey). That's three awesome ladies on one screen, especially given Wiest's particular skill at playing the crazy mother. Here's hoping the show itself can match up. Speaking of awesome, multi-time Emmy winner Marlo Thomas — aka "That Girl" — Read more

Say what you will about Woody Allen and his sordid relationship history, but the man knows how to cast female actors in great roles. Witness Dianne Wiest in Bullets Over Broadway, Mia Farrow in Hannah and Her Sisters, and — of course — Diane Keaton in Annie Hall. Perhaps not coincidentally, those are also some of my favorite Woody Allen movies. The director's new muse, it seems, is Scarlett Read more
