Here on the East Coast, most of us have little choice but to stay inside – and wait out the wrath of Irene. But elsewhere, you can go to the movies. David Edelstein has some recommendations … It has been a loud, 3-D summer at the multiplex, and while I’m perfectly receptive to the odd $150 million superhero picture, it wasn’t so odd this summer, it was the norm – and I’m ready for movies that aren’t in-your-face with a surcharge for the glasses. The comedy “Our Idiot Brother” won’t win any prizes, but its mellow vibe is a blessed relief. Paul Rudd plays Ned, a friendly, go-along-to-get-along screw-up of a brother to three high-strung sisters played by three appealing actresses: Emily Mortimer, Elizabeth Banks and Zooey Deschanel. Ned goes to prison after a cop in uniform approaches him to buy dope. Really! See for yourself: … No, stop the clip. It’s too painful. Anyway, when Ned gets out of jail he visits his sisters and messes up their lives by being too guilessly honest. He undermines their very foundations. This being a comedy, 카지노사이트 family ties strengthen rather than strangle. The uplift would be hard to buy if Rudd weren’t so lovable. I have no idea what he’s like in life, but I’d be stricken to hear he’s a jerk: It would be such an affront to the...

CHICAGO – Grammy-winning Blues musician David “Honeyboy” Edwards, believed to be the oldest surviving Delta bluesman and whose roots stretched back to blues legend Robert Johnson, died early Monday in his Chicago home, his manager said. He was 96. Edwards had a weak heart and his health seriously declined in May, when the guitarist had to cancel concerts scheduled through November, said his longtime manager, Michael Frank of Earwig Music Company. Born in 1915 in Shaw, Mississippi, Edwards learned the guitar growing up and started playing professionally at age 17 in Memphis. He came to Chicago in the 1940s and played on Maxwell Street, small clubs and street corners. By the 1950s Edwards had played with almost every bluesman of note — including Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter, Charlie Patton and Muddy Waters. Among Edwards’ hit songs were “Long Tall Woman Blues,” “Gamblin Man” and “Just Like Jesse James.” Edwards played his last shows in April at the Juke Joint Festival in Mississippi, Frank said. “Blues ain’t never going anywhere,” Edwards told The Associated Press in 2008. “It can get slow, but it ain’t going nowhere. You play a lowdown dirty shame slow and lonesome, my mama dead, my papa across the sea I ain’t dead but I’m just supposed to be blues. You can take that same blues, make it uptempo, a shuffle blues, that’s what rock `n’ roll...

(CBS/AP) – Filmmaker Sofia Coppola tied the knot with her longtime rocker boyfriend, Thomas Mars, in southern Italy on Saturday. The couple said “I do” in an early evening ceremony at Coppola’s family’s villa in the remote, southern Italian town of Bernalda, where her great-grandfather was born. Pictures: Celebrity weddings and engagements  The bride, 40, was escorted down the aisle by her famous filmmaker father, Francis Ford Coppola, to a waiting Mars, lead singer of the French band Phoenix and the father of their two young daughters, Romy, 4, and Cosima, 15 months. The town’s mayor, Leonardo Chiruzzi, performed the ceremony, which was reportedly attended by 80 people. “Everything went well,” Chiruzzi told The Associated Press afterwards. “It was simple, calm, in the garden.” Coppola wore a sheer, lavender tulle dress by Azzedine Alaia, while Mars donned a gray suit with a flower in the lapel. After the service, the newlyweds and the father of the bride, wearing a white linen suit and pink shirt, popped out of the palazzo briefly to greet onlookers. She was holding a glass of bubbly. Guests reportedly included director George Lucas, Johnny Depp and Talia Shire, the bride’s aunt, who is best known for her roles in her brother’s “The Godfather” films and as Sylvester Stallone’s girlfriend Adrian in “Rocky.” A dinner was planned to be followed by cake, made to serve about 100 people....
