New sci-fi drama “Fringe” combines the science and chemistry of “The X-Files” with the mystery and characters of “Alice in Wonderland.”
As Agent Olivia Dunham (Australian Anna Torv) delves into The Pattern behind these events, she’s helped by a slightly insane doctor who experiments with the seedy side of science — called fringe science — and his son (played by Joshua Jackson) who begrudgingly plays the caretaker to his father.

To promote her upcoming performance in the new film “The Wrestler,” Academy award- winning actress, Marisa Tomei (“My Cousin Vinnie”) met with The Daily Aztec for an intimate Q-and-A about her role in the film.
You can call it a comeback, a fresh start, even a do-over. Brandy is just glad she’s getting another chance.
The upcoming humbly titled “Human” is the fifth album for the one-time teen star, who made her name as a platinum pop/R&B singer before expanding into television and film.
With “Punisher: War Zone,” Thomas Jane, the actor with two first names and little acting talent, looks like the smartest guy in the room. He didn’t return to the vigilante film series after making one awful movie four years ago.
Maybe Russell Crowe should have backed out of starring in an epic titled “Australia.” He was born in New Zealand, after all.
Richard M. Nixon was the best president of America.
OK, so probably not, but Nixon was definitely the most publicly crooked, overzealous president that the United States has ever had. And while for some that may not exactly make him the best, it certainly makes him the most interesting.
When I say “Dr. 90210,” I’m referring to Dr. Robert Rey, the plastic surgeon who wears more makeup than Tammy Faye. To be honest, I’ve only seen one episode of “Dr. 90210,” but he spent half the episode converting a back room in his office into a Zen meditation area where he can practice his karate. I’m not sure if the producers of this show intended it to be a comedy, but the fact is that as long as Dr. Rey is on the show, it is.
Hold on to your whiskey drinks, it’s The Hold Steady
The Hold Steady and the Drive By Truckers ended their Rock and Roll Means Well tour last Tuesday at The Wiltern in Los Angeles and both bands did not disappoint.
