Out of respect for the first "Harold and Kumar" film, which definitely deserves consideration among anyone's top-five-best-comedies-of-the-last-five-years list, I took in the late show of the latest installment - "Harold and Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay" - on opening night. /more/

Cotija's, which to our way of thinking is twice as good as most Tex-Mex restaurants in Central Arkansas, thanks to the Alvarez family's touch, is now twice as large, having knocked out a wall in its Louisiana street restaurant to expand into a storefront to the south. /more/

Noise pirates the Western Meds will be trying to be as incongruous as possible at the Historic Arkansas Museum in just moments. As part of Second Friday Art night.

Anticipating the Little Rock Film Fest

UPDATE: Tickets for the "Fast Times" screening are available here exclusively. Craig Renaud tells me they're selling briskly. So get em while they're hot.

I'm about to go to a "Purchase Your Pass Party" for the Little Rock Film Festival, where there will be discounted beer and networking. I guess they had that idea before they came up with this one: On Tuesday, they'll be a preview of the festival at Riverdale 10, highlighted by a screening of one of the greatest cinematic achievements ever, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," followed by a Q&A with Judge Reinhold that Times contributor Derek Jenkins will moderate. 7:30 p.m. With an after-party at Crush.

The Televisionist, Nov. 29

While "Wizard of Oz" purists will most likely want to seek their entertainments elsewhere, those looking for a new take on author L. Frank Baum's classic quest story might do well to check out "Tin Man," the Sci-Fi Channel's six-hour miniseries that presents a much darker imagining of Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." At the center of the story is motorcycle-riding sorta-goth chick DG (Zoey Deschanel), who finds herself transported by a Kansas tornado to the Outer Zone. In order to get home, she must travel to meet the Wizard of Oz (Richard Dreyfuss). Along the way, she picks up a strangely familiar set of characters, including animal/human shapeshifter Toto (Blu Mankuma), lion-like creature Raw (Raul Trujillo), robot without a brain Glitch (Alan Cumming), and the Tin Man (Neal McDonough), a former real-world cop who got his name from the badge he carries. Hot on their trail is Askedellia (Kathleen Robertson) - A.K.A. the Wicked Witch of the West - a brooding, mystical psychopath whose tattoos transform into flying monkeys to do her bidding. /more/
