September 27, 2011At the Emmys about a week ago AMC’s Mad Men, a show set at an advertising agency in 1960s New York City, won Best Dramatic Series for the fourth consecutive year.

All the Single Men
January 4, 2010A Single Man, fashion designer Tom Ford’s directorial debut, is a masterpiece pure and simple.
