DVD Watch: 'Fat Kid Rules the World'

I will always like Matthew Lillard. In a fairer world, everyone would forget Wing Commander and Hackers, and just talk about SLC Punk! and how great he was in The Descendants, and his fun, respectful treatment of Scooby Doo. Maybe his transition to director will finally get him the credit he deserves.

‘Downton Abbey’ Watch

I’ve been a little pokey about getting this recap up, but then last night’s episode lacked urgency, too – especially when compared to, say, the third episode of season 1, in which Mr. Pamuk’s heart went kaput in the bed of Lady Mary.

From the Vaults: Ahnuld's Director's American Debut

When the Chronicle spoke with South Korean filmmaker Kim Jee-woon in 2011, he expressed a desire to tackle every genre under the sun. This weekend he debuts a new film, The Last Stand, in American theatres that’s a genre unto itself: the Schwarzenegger picture.

Armstrong Comes Clean … Sort Of

If you've been a naughty public figure in America, and all attempts at damage control are failing, you will inevitably be called to the principal's office. You can almost hear it over the nation's P.A. system: "Lance Armstrong, please report to Oprah Winfrey's office immediately."
