Taylor Swift-lash hits new heights
By Mark Russo | Monday Feb 8, 2010
Where has all the love gone for Taylor Swift? The Taylor Swift-lash has hit new heights, exploding in the blogosphere--fueled by a her label’s delusional response insisting she is "the voice of a generation" and the American Idol boast that she’s the only singer capable of producing high notes.

Eyes Wide Open
By Benjamin Solomon
Tormented Jews are hot right now in cinema. If the Coen brothers’ recent A Serious Man explored the chaotic events of a Midwestern Jew’s life (what do they all mean-if anything?), Israeli film Eyes Wide Open (Peccadillo Pictures) could almost be seen as its companion piece, A Righteous Man, or perhaps a fiction version of Sandy Dubowski’s groundbreaking doc Trembling Before G-d.

By David Hurst

Gay PDAs :: Not Ready for Prime Time
By Scott Stiffler | Feb 8
Americans chowed down and watched the Super Bowl yesterday. For many it wasn’t the game they were as interested as the commercials that punctuated it. From the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales to a controversial pro-life spot, these ads will not doubt generate a lot of water cooler conversation. One that huge television audience didn’t see was for ManCrunch.com, a male dating service, due to the fact it showed two men kissing. CBS didn’t consider it rose to the standard the network established for general consumption. EDGE’s Scott Stiffler looks at why the sight of two men in intimate contact remains not ready for prime time.

The Secrets of Tomb 10A: Egypt 2000 BC
By Kay Bourne | Nov 4
The Secrets of Tomb 10A: Egypt 2000 BC, the current exhibit at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, is an epic ode to the skill, patience, aesthetic sensibility, and specialized knowledge of curators past and present at the venerable arts institution. They have been working to reassemble the remaining contents of a plundered Egyptian tomb of the Middle Kingdom (2040-1640 BC) for a century since the crates of bits and pieces arrived at the Huntington Ave. museum in 1915.
