Jodie Markell: Tennessee Williams' Teardrop Diamond Posthumously produced screenplays are a rarity in Hollywood, and posthumously produced screenplays by American literary legends are practically non-existent.

Dr. Who: Complete and Utter, Wonderful Nonsense This month, the current incarnation of the BBC’s spectacularly successful revival of Doctor Who is coming to an end. For the uninitiated, Doctor Who is a whimsical English science-fiction/fantasy show about a mysterious alien known only as The Doctor, a renegade time lord from the planet Gallifrey, who -- accompanied by one or more human companions -- travels across time and space, visiting distant and unusual eras and worlds and becoming involved in amazing adventures that often see him doing battle with dastardly villains and incredible monsters.
