The day JFK died: Fifty years on, the assassination still haunts Americans
The murder of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, on Nov. 22, 1963, forever changed America. I was 16 years old when it happened, and still haven't fully come to terms with it. The indelible sense of loss and still-unanswered questions — How it could have been allowed to happen? Who was behind it? — drew me to Dallas nearly half a century later.

Fifty years later, conspiracy theories live on
"Any concerted plan that placed Lee Harvey Oswald in the gunner's seat," wrote Norman Mailer in "Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery," "would have had to have been built on the calculation that he would miss." Yet Mailer, whose research took him back to the city of Minsk, where Oswald had lived under constant KGB surveillance while in the Soviet Union, said he believed Oswald was likely to have been the perpetrator.

Fox tackles history in 'Emperor'
Actor Matthew Fox saw his career take off in the 1990s with the role of Charlie Salinger in the American TV series "Party of Five," and he gained even more popularity as Jack Shephard, the central character in the innovative series "Lost." Now, though, his performance in the movie, "Emperor," in which he plays the role of U.S. intelligence officer Gen. Bonner Fellers, who investigates the wartime guilt of Emperor Hirohito (posthumously known as Emperor Showa) is surely his biggest movie role to date, coming as it does after 2008's "Vantage Point."

'Life of Pi'
Director Ang Lee's adaptation of author Yann Martel's Man Booker Prize-winning "Life of Pi" feels almost like two films sandwiched into one. In the core, you have the succulent special-effects-driven story of a young Indian survivor of a shipwreck who's adrift in a lifeboat with a man-eating Bengal tiger. Yet wrapped around that is a deeply fried New Age-y/spiritual parable about "finding God."

Mickey Curtis: from rocker to 'Robo-G'
The pioneers of the rock 'n' roll era on both sides of the Atlantic have now largely faded from the show-business scene — which is hardly surprising, given that those still strutting their stuff are in their 70s and 80s, and even "The King" himself, Elvis Presley, who died in 1977, would be 77 today.
