TV/FILM: Lucasfilms the Clone Wars: Best Political Cartoon Ever?
Political murder, mercenary violence, military occupations and callous terrorists dont just kill as newspaper headlines. They've also made excellent thematic fodder for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, whose dark second season wraps with a three-week stand starting Friday night.

TV/FILM: Neil Young Trunk Show
Virtually from the beginning of a career that's closing in on the half-century mark, Neil Young has been both an obsessive archivist and a passionate believer in the nexus of rock music and film.
That combination goes a long way toward explaining why he's made considerably more films than your average rock star and why he has returned time and again to the concert film genre attempting to find fresh approaches...
