Bob Strauss @bscritic #AhedsKnee, the latest plunge into obnoxious creativity by #Synonyms director #NadavLapid, is a searing, cinematically jaw-dislocating howl of #Israeli political guilt and defiance.

The Hollywood Reporter @THR 'Summer of Soul' Sweeps the Critics Choice Documentary Awards "I always thought celebrating something was a weakness," Questlove said in his first acceptance speech of the night.

Another versatile actor. He could play heroes. He could play heavies. And he was adept at playing father figures.

My favorite "Quantum Leap" moment was from the Season 2 episode "Honeymoon Express," in which Rear Admiral Al Calavicci (Stockwell) appeared before a Senate committee whose chairman intended to pull the plug on the time-travel project. As the chairman prepared to announce the committee's decision, he magically was replaced by a female chairman who said the $2.4 billion funding for Project Quantum Leap had been approved for another year. As it happened, the woman had been involved with Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) during one of his leaps to the past. Thanks to him, she was able to pass a bar exam, which set the stage for her political career.
