rom his sudden death to the opening of his final film, "Eyes Wide Shut," filmmaker Stanley Kubrick was the subject of innumerable essays and conversations. A cult director to the cinephiles, a chilly stylist to his critics, he was always an original.

To accompany this look at Kubrick, we've got five reviews of "Eyes Wide Shut," from Boston, Tucson, Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville.

The NAACP recently pointed out that none of the 25 new shows on the big four networks this fall has an African-American in the lead, evidence that television executives are "clueless, careless, or both."

Plus, a different kind of German film, "Run Lola Run," is the subject of two reviews, first looks at "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and "The Wood," and more.
