    Drury Lane Theatre's "Gypsy" packs a brassy wallop thanks to a great cast led by the powerful Momma Rose of Klea Blackhurst.

This superlative production of “Gypsy” delivers time and time again.

Milch’s portrait of horse racing’s seedier side comes to life in the drama series “Luck,” starring Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, debuting at 8 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 29, on HBO. He couldn’t write it sooner “because I had to quit gambling,” he said.

    Brrrrr! Ranking the frostiest films ever made

    Roland Emmerich's special effects stuffed thriller "The Day After Tomorrow" ranks as the coldest movie ever made, thanks to its depiction of low temperatures as Mother Nature's weapon of revenge.

    Now that winter has finally arrived after a balmy start in January, it's time for film critic Dann Gire to celebrate the season with 10 of the coldest movies ever made. Over the years, Hollywood and indie filmmakers have churned out some real subzero motion pictures — “Dr. Zhivago,” “Ice Station Zebra,” the original “The Thing” — but other movies left our critic colder. In a good way, of course.
