Criminal is considered one of the forebears of the booming true-crime podcasting movement. Launched almost three years ago, the North Carolina-based, biweekly series bills itself as a podcast full of “stories of people who’ve done wrong, been wronged, or gotten caught somewhere in the middle.” Listen to a few episodes…

Music fans who came of age during the era of Monica Lewinsky, Pearl Jam, and Friends may experience a strong sense of déjà vu while watching “Hooking Up With Girls,” the latest video from Brooklyn alternative rock band It Was Romance. It’s a newly made clip for a newly released track, yet something about it seems so…
Though he spent the bulk of the ’90s playing iconic heroes like Wyatt Earp and Robin Hood, Kevin Costner’s been eager to tap into his dark side as of late. His latest film, Criminal, sees him playing a volatile death-row inmate who, for some reason, is given a chance at redemption when he’s implanted with a CIA…
After making his name playing straight-arrow good guy—from Elliott Ness to Robin Hood to a certain pee-drinking man-fish—Kevin Costner has taken to playing against type in recent years, as he does here in Criminal, where he plays a remorseless, unfeeling killer.

In the pilot, stoic homicide detectives McGarf (Danny Jolles) and Keebler (Matt Rogers) graphically discussed…
On Monday, we suggested where to get started with comics for those who haven’t yet sunk their teeth into the meaty medium. Today, we’re letting people who work in comic-book shops stump for their favorites. The only parameters are that the comics be widely available, so there’s nothing rare or hard to find on this…

The casting for director Ariel Vromen’s Criminal has been pretty solid so far. It already has Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman, and Tommy Lee Jones, so the only thing it’s really missing is a young person to run in and shout, “Hey, what’s with all of these old people?
