...Orleans. “How could we use the most enigmatic play of the 20th century to talk about what happened in Katrina?” video artist Paul Chan remembers asking himself on a trip to New Orleans in the fall of 2006. His answer: a staging of Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” in two devastated areas of the city. Beckett’s play, the story of two tramps waiting for a mysterious presence who never comes, puts into words the desolation of New Orleans and its residents. This...
...muttering inaudibly. Lex (April Camlin), the hyper-annoying computer nerd, carried her character’s emotional outbursts to the limits of human expression. Robert Muldoon (Connor Kizer) played every scene with a Sean Connery-ish accent and an insane excitement at the prospect of death. And of course Samuel L.

Another key problem for the retailer, which is based in Richmond, Va., and was founded by Samuel S. Wurtzel as a television store in 1949 (it now has about 700 outlets), was basic inventory management. "They had been unable to move their inventory," says Helen Bulwik of New Market Solutions, a retail consultancy in Oakland, Calif. That backlog left the company paralyzed, unable to buy fresh product or pay off its existing debts. Circuit City still owes $118 million to Hewlett-Packard, its largest vendor, plus $116 million to Samsung and $60 million Sony...
...hilarious montage of the group’s earlier years when they were known as “Marcus Hooks and the Real Deal.” When Hooks (John Legend) decides to go solo, the two back-up singers—Floyd Henderson (Mac) and Louis Hinds (Samuel L. Jackson)—pursue a career as “The Real Deal.” They ultimately fail due to poor record sales and the duo’s love for the same woman. Four decades later, Marcus Hooks is one of the most honored artists...
