Getting Arrested: A guide to the first three seasons
Here’s the cold, hard Bluth about the Netflix series’ first three seasons, which aired on Fox from 2003 to 2006.

Chris Wedge has an Epic story to tell
By Hollywood standards, Chris Wedge should be a sought-after visionary. In 2002, Wedge’s Ice Age cartoon introduced the lucrative animated motion picture franchise by scoring an impressive $383.3 million at the worldwide box office. That led to his transition from director to executive producer on three subsequent Ice Age films, which have pulled in nearly $3 billion theatrically.

The restoration of Duddy Kravitz
CANNES, France — When the classic film The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz is shown at the Cannes Film Festival Wednesday, it will quietly correct a 39-year-old injustice and mark one of the strangest episodes in the history of Canadian cinema. It is the story of an unusual collaboration between an author and a filmmaker, a movie that was nominated for Oscars but was abandoned by its federal champions, and a decision that partly led an accomplished director to leave Canada for Hollywood. The movie was made in 1974 by Ted Kotcheff, now 82, a Toronto-born filmmaker who learned his craft…
It was the best of TV seasons … and yet …
It was the best of seasons, it was the worst of seasons. The TV business has never been healthier, the TV business has never been in worse shape. It was a time of viewer discontent, it was a time viewer satisfaction. The 2012-13 network TV season officially ended Wednesday with the finales of Modern Family, Nashville, The Middle, Criminal Minds and the series finale of The Office. Judging from analysts’ accounts, it was arguably the most disruptive season in the history of broadcast television, with viewers continuing to defect the mainstream broadcast networks in droves, even as those very same…
