David Mamet wrote his own screenplay adaption of his wonderful play for this 1992 film, ensuring that his idiosyncratic rhythms would remain intact. But that also works only when you have the right actors interpreting your lines and cadences, and this movie certainly does. Jack Lemmon stars, and is brilliant, and he’s supported and often equaled by Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey and others. Really – what a cast. And here, it’s shown unedited and un

The Golden State Warriors took Game 4 (the first somewhat competitive game in this series) from the Cleveland Cavaliers, giving Golden State a 3-1 advantage in games and home-court advantage for tonight’s contest. No team in Cleveland’s position has ever come back to win the Finals, but the Cavaliers have two slight rays of hope. One, if the team manages tio prevail tonight, it returns to Cleveland for Game 6.

SERIES PREMIERE: Robert and Michelle King, creators of The Good Wife, are behind this new summer series for CBS, which manages to blend Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The West Wing, and Mars Attacks! It’s a political satire, featuring alien brain-eating bugs and possessed politicians, and it’s lots and lots of fun. Mary Elizabeth Winstead stars. For my review on today’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, listen to the show, or visit the Fresh Air website later this afternoon. For ful

James Corden, former Tony winner, is the host for this year’s ceremony, which promises to be the most eventful Tony Awards ceremony since Mel Brooks won every award in sight for The Producers. This year, it’s Hamilton that’s grabbing all the attention. And, most likely, all the statuettes. But if you want to experience the Broadway cast of Hamilton for under $200, this is your best chance for quite a while.

The kingdoms are choosing sides, the enemies are surfacing (hang in there, Arya), and the dragons are about to reappear. In other words, the burners on Game of Thrones, after a couple of expository and anticipatory episodes, are about to be set on medium high.

The various story lines on this season’s Penny Dreadful are starting to intertwine. Dr. Frankenstein is about to try and lure one of his old creations, played by Billie Piper, back under his influence, with the help of Dr. Jekyll. (But she may have plans of her own, as seen in the accompanying picture.) Ethan has survived his pursuers, and his father, in the Old West, thanks to help from Sir Malcolm – and Vanessa is being threatened even more aggressively by Dracula.
