Apr 16th, 2013 at 2:00PM:
Jerusalem is one of those cities that clings to you long after you leave it. The mix of faiths, the musky scents of the markets, the muezzin's call ... once you've been there you can't forget it.

We've all been here before, even if we've never stepped foot in the state of Utah. If you find yourself driving south on Utah Route 163, you will feel a strong sense of déjà vu about 12 miles north of Monument Valley. If the vista seems familiar, it's ...Are Woody Allen Movies The New Trip Planner?

In the 1950s there were more than 4,000 of them. They were a place for families to enjoy a night out together, and for teenagers to be initiated into the games of adulthood.
Now the drive-in theater ...

Feb 15th, 2012 at 2:00PM: I hate you, hotel advertising television channel. I hate that you're the default channel every time I turn on the TV in my room. I hate it even more when you're already on when I enter my room. Don't you understand that if I hear noises in my hotel room when I enter, I'm going to think that there's someone inside waiting to murder me and do odd things to my body? I hate that you advertise movies ...10 landmarks for lovers of Western literature

Around 15 years after reading Atlas Shrugged for the first time, the moment I was waiting for arrived: the movie came out. If you missed it, there's a good reason. Unlike big-budget flicks, this $10 million "effort" opened in only 299 theaters, with the prayer hope outside shot that word of mouth among the philosopher's novelist's propagandist's writer's followers would cause demand to surge ...Video of the Day: Brett Erlich's Unconventional Travel Tips

The script isn't Oscar-winning material, but it does what it needs to: A single ...A travel guide to the 2011 Oscar movies
Feb 2nd, 2011 at 4:00PM: The 83rd annual Academy Awards are coming up in a few weeks and the Oscars race is on.
