EXCLUSIVE: The C-Word Defends Itself Against The Kick-Ass Controversy

You’ve followed about the critical feuds and read the think-pieces about how this weekend’s most talked-about debut at the multiplex, the hyper-violent, mega-profane Kick-Ass , is poised to offend American moviegoers’ delicate sensibilities. But until now, you haven’t heard from one of the film’s most controversial players, one that’s been squarely in the center of the firestorm. And so Movieline reached out to the C-Word itself to chat about how it’s being portrayed in the overheated media coverage of a movie masterfully engineered to delight fanboys while giving cautious parents’ naughty places an inappropriate squeeze.

Have You Heard the One About Kiefer Sutherland and the London Strip Club?

Tax Day is stressful. You park yourself at the computer at 9 a.m., wait for your assistant to find your W-2s, spend five hours navigating the H&R Block website and burn through another hour or so troubleshooting with a consultant outsourced in India. Throw in a few smoke breaks and lunch at a four-star restaurant and your day is shot. So how do you celebrate your Tax Night? If you’re Kiefer Sutherland, by raising hell at a London strip club.

Project Runway Recap: Gunn’s Goin’ Off!

Last night Tim Gunn visited Project Runway ‘s four remaining designers in their hometowns — their disgusting, smoke-gagged hamlets. With their polluted families running around. And their dogs .

Let’s revisit his frosty rendezvous and ask ourselves whether the right designer — Jay or Mila — went home at episode’s end.

Real Housewives of New York Reality Check: Jill Zarin vs. the World

Last week on the Housewives of New York City , Bethenny taught a little class called “Selling the Sh*t Out Of An Apology For Socialites.” This week, the SkinnyGirl was chained to a Pepperidge Farm street cart, where she shamelessly plugged the 100 calorie bread, and her toilet, where she shamelessly plugged her surprise pregnancy. Meanwhile, Alex pulled off her Brooklyn fashion show, Kelly worked the runway in an unflattering Big Bird dress, LuAnn toured Central Park in a rickshaw fueled by condescension, and a new housewife named Sonja introduced herself as Martin Scorsese’s neighbor. But the most awe-inspiring moments from last night’s installment came courtesy of Jill Zarin, who demonstrated that she can go from loving wife to petty bitch in the blink of the eye — or in a swooshy Bravo edit. So pour yourself a Ramona-sized glass of pinot grigio and click through for the truest and fakest moments of last night’s episode, “New Girl, Old Money.”

REVIEW: Secret in Their Eyes Paints by Oscar-Winning Numbers

Juan José Campanella’s The Secret in Their Eyes, the Argentinian picture that won this year’s Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language Film, is well-acted, nicely constructed and beautiful to look at. Its story — about a criminal court investigator who begins pursuing a horrific rape and murder case in 1974 that, thanks to a mingling of factors including procedural glitches, judicial mishandling and government corruption, continues to haunt him 25 years later — is worked out with care. The ending is satisfying and somewhat surprising. In short, there’s almost nothing wrong with it. Almost.

The Mad Science of Fringe: Time-Traveling Secrets Exposed!

In last night’s Fringe , Walter’s angst over pulling Peter out of the parallel universe compounded when he met a MIT time-travel researcher (Peter Weller of RoboCop ), who, in an effort to change his dead fiance’s past, sucked the biological energy out of a train car of people. Despite Walter’s appeals (“It’s not our place to adjust the universe”), the time traveler reunites with his fiance and apparently dies, eliminating any future contact with Walter and Co. and basically rendering the entire episode useless. But did the throw-away plot lend itself to equivalently disposable science? Read on for a look at the relative plausibility of Walter’s ramblings in White Tulip .
