Lebanon, written and directed by Samuel Maoz, is not just the year's most impressive first feature but also the strongest new movie of any kind I've seen in 2010. Actually, Lebanon—which won the Golden Lion at Venice, after being rejected by Berlin and Cannes—hardly seems like a debut, perhaps because...
Yesterday we spoke with Dallas Independent School District trustee Edwin Flores about a proposed policy before the board tomorrow: "Freedom from Bullying." Which is great news, says the Resource Center Dallas. But the center's higher-ups believe the bullying policy doesn't go far enough, especially when it comes to protecting gay,...
Sam MertenFor a long while during the auction of Your Texas Rangers on August 4 -- and into the wee small hours of August 5 -- it looked as though Mark Cuban and Jim Crane's Radical Pitch LLC might indeed take possession of the team. Every time Chuck Greenberg and...
Good news out of Old 97's camp today, as the band has announced that The Grand Theatre, Volume One, has earned the band its career high marks in Billboard chart position. In its first week on the charts, the disc placed at No. 83 in the Billboard 200 Albums Chart,...
In advance of the 3 p.m. press conference at Dallas Police Department headquarters during which the dash-cam video that Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway doesn't want you to see will be released, Mayor Tom Leppert weighed in on the incident briefly at this afternoon's State of the City address at...

Watch: Kanye West — “Power”
On Sunday the Dallas Cowboys look for their first home win of the season. Manny Pacquiao has already won twice in Cowboys Stadium in 2010. In other words, it's time to adopt the eight-time boxing champion as our "team." After all, the bludgeoning he delivered upon the unfortunate noggin of...
Sara KerensScott and Mariana Griggs at the "West Dallas Country Club," otherwise known as their community gardenYou probably forgot all about City Hall's efforts to regulate community gardens -- after all, it's been about two months since the topic came up at the council's Transportation and Environment Committee meeting on...
Animal rights activists may disagree, but beef is delicious. It's primal and earthy and packed with protein, which is probably why many Americans eat more red meat than they should. But the Texas Beef Council's aggressively pushing another rationale for red meat consumption: It's good for you. The organization is...

The Hope Trust Have High Hopes
Through my taco-eating adventures, I have crossed paths with those who so revile Tex-Mex, specifically Tex-Mex tacos, that the dish's mere mention elicits a reaction similar to the one they might have if forced to watch the drowning of a child's Christmas puppy. Needless to say, I don't break bread...

Hard to be persnickety about a defense that didn't allow a touchdown in the season opener, but at some point the Dallas Cowboys' pressure has to translate into points. Right? Continuing a troubling trend from 2009, the Cowboys harassed Washington quarterback Donovan McNabb and generally suffocated the the Redskins last...

The Old 97’s Get Back On Track.
Rangers lose. A's win. Rangers win. A's lose. Magic number this and first-round playoff match-up that. It's all about as meaningless as David Buehler's too-little-too-late 47-yard field goal if the Texas Rangers have to play October baseball without Josh Hamilton. Right? Hamilton is the Rangers' best player. He's having a Mickey...
Reggie Bush gave back his Heisman Trophy. To which I respond: Big friggin' deal. I know the Heisman is one of the most hyped awards, but - let's be honest - it's also the most meaningless sports trophy this side of the Governor's Cup, Golden Boot and the Iron Skillet...

Dallas city officials haven't even begun to grapple with questions of how quickly they can implement the Dallas Bike Plan or where they'll find money to pay for it, as consultant Peter Lagerway readily concedes. But if time and money are problematic, Lagerway has good news on the space front...
Earlier this week, in advance of the Morning Benders's upcoming performance at the Kessler Theatre on Saturday night, we caught up with the Northern California-based band's frontman Chris Chu. His band had just returned from the European leg of their tour, and was preparing to travel the US in support...
10. After a wasted weekend in Arlington we know this: Derek Holland isn't ready to be a playoff pitcher. Saturday he allowed a single and a walk to ignite Tampa's game-tying rally and in today's Game 4 loss he served up a two-run homer to Evan Longoria that broke the...
The headline reads "4 in 10 Texas teachers moonlight to make ends meet." But based upon the results of a survey of Texas teachers by Sam Houston State University, commissioned and released today by the Texas State Teachers Association, it could just as likely read, "Only 28.8 percent of Texas...
