Through Feb. 9th, there is a retrospective of films directed by Dorothy Arzner at the James Bridges Theater at UCLA. It will be traveling to other cities (and hopefully the films will be released on DVD). Susan King had a story in the LA Times.

Looking at the related stories at the end of New York Times articles is always interesting. Often they have nothing to do with the article and articles that should be included aren't there. And even if they were, you wouldn't pay to look at the story.

But sometimes, there is no $ next to the link and you can look at an old article for free like this
piece by Peter Jackson on filming the Lord of the Rings which was linked at the bottom of Karen Durbin's interesting column on the Two Towers.
