Get Lustig For Oktoberfest

Austrian chef Bernhard Mairinger has combined two polar opposite cuisines – Austrian and Californian – for a playful and whimsical menu that lives up to his Culver City restaurant’s name, Lustig, the German word for fun.

Having come off two months of Gemuetlichkeit and eating my way through the Bavarian Alps, I’ll admit I was skeptical. Nevertheless,  I squeezed into my dirndl and gave the colorful and friendly Michelin Guide Restaurant in the historic Helms Building in Culver City a spin…

Director Coralie Fargeat Explores the Inner Violence of Aging in 'The Substance'

Fresh lipstick smudged in a crimson scream. A ripple of pupils staring back in the mirror. Sun-kissed starlets bathed in blood. Severed spinal cords crudely stapled back together like a button-up blouse. Bodies filled with chicken bones. High-end lofts housing hidden skeletons. Luminous daggers. Pink pleated patsies. Rotting limbs. Devious doppelgangers. White teeth tycoons. Sharp-dressed shackles. Makeup-puffed mutants. Thinly veiled vultures…

Siân Greenway: I don’t need to even think hard about what album is most important in my life. 1974 was a year full of incredible releases, there are so many that stand out to different people for different reasons, so many new genres hitting the music scene and creating different types of communities of music lovers, some albums combined many things into one, and one band created a masterpiece and that album is Sweet Fanny Adams by The Sweet…

Review: Kate Winslet Shines As a Forgotten Icon In 'Lee' 

As Lee Miller is introduced to future husband Roland Penrose (Alexander Skarsgård) at an idiosyncratic picnic of free spirits, viewers are given an abridged synopsis of the life of the model-turned-artist. Brazen, brassy and a tad belligerent, the former glamor girl who was once known for her racy photos impresses the gallery owner with her current output of behind-the-camera work. As she sits topless among her bohemian consorts, moviegoers are given a strong impression of Miller as an American living in France on the cusp of World War II just as she is about to begin her second act in life.
