Schell with Brando in The Young Lions.
Oscar-winning Austrian actor Maximillian Schell has passed away at the age of 83. Schell made his English language screen debut opposite Marlon Brando in the WWII film The Young Lions in 1958. Three years later he won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in Stanley Kramer's Judgment at Nuremberg. Schell played an attorney burdened with the thankless task of defending Nazi war criminals. The character, while repelled by the acts some individuals committed, offered a spirited defense that brought nuance to the circumstances in which National Socialism had arisen. The intelligent depiction of this sensitive subject- and Schell's impassioned performance- was praised internationally. Schell continued to be a leading man in high profile film productions including Tokapi, Counterpoint, Krakatoa: East of Java, The Odessa File, A Bridge Too Far, The Freshman, The Chosen and Deep Impact. He was nominated for Oscars two other...

All day long, I've been getting curious emails and tweets from readers of our weekly Lost recaps blasting me with Black Rock dynamite for not discussing a pretty monumental moment in last night's episode: Jack and Richard's discussion of Jacob's magical touching and supernatural gifts in the dark belly of the Black Rock slave ship. Honestly, I ignored the first few dozen of these emails. Whaddya mean? I wrote 1500 words about all this! But after getting another raft of critical emails, I checked out the recap and made a discovery that made me want to blow my own bad self up: Somehow,...

Okay so I need to just say right here at the top that I didn't hate the Nikki and Paulo episode (Season Three's "Exposé") nearly as much as everyone else did, and in fact I kind of liked it. At the time, I welcomed any break from the turgid, wheel-spinning soap that "Lost" had become before it found its mojo again at the end of that season and got its game back for the final three years. But really, I liked that the episode was a one-off with random characters whose sole purpose was to act in a kind of one-act play with a creepy twist ending. Not every minute of every episode has to connect to the larger mythology, you know? Anyway, I say all that only because those pretty dead people were finally mentioned again on this week's episode, "Dr. Linus," and it looks like someone will finally...

Riddle me this. What’s better than a John Locke-centric episode of Lost? I’ll give you a hint. It’s manic, bug eyed and black and blue all over.
That’s right. A Ben Linus episode! And last night’s was a humdinger. Drawing out a portrait of Ben as power-hungry manipulator and conflicted do-gooder, ‘Dr. Linus’ isn’t just the best episode of this last season (so far), it may be one of the best episodes of the show period.
There were a few answers given, some tantalizing plot threads discussed, and some juicy character development outside of Ben. What makes this one so terrific though, is its extraordinary sense of symmetry and design, which goes a long way towards revealing to us the texture and context of the sideways universe.
The week opens with Ilana finally learning, via Miles’ inconsistent paranormal ability, that Ben was the man...
