There is not a shred of reason to believe anyone but William Shakespeare wrote the plays under his name. Yet because Shakespeare is considered the greatest writer in the English language, perhaps in the whole body of world literature, he is looked upon with suspicion and doubt. If Shakespeare’s contemporary Ben Johnson was hailed as the greatest, you can bet your life people would doubt his authorship instead.

In the near future, time is money in the most literal sense imaginable.
That’s the basic concept behind In Time, the latest science-fiction thriller from Andrew Niccol, the director of Gattaca and Lord of War. It’s a neat concept and well executed in the film, but unfortunately the concept seems to be the only innovation in the movie.

I always get excited for the new fall season of television on cable networks like HBO, Showtime, FX and AMC. This fall there are new arrivals like Showtime’s Homeland, Starz’s Boss and AMC’s forthcoming Hell on Wheels as well as subsequent seasons of quality television programs like Boardwalk Empire, Dexter and The Walking Dead. However, the one show that got me really excited was FX’s American Horror Story.
