Bettie Page Reveals All
In the documentary Marlene, Dietrich herself phoned in some last interviews to director/actor Maximilian Schell, while refusing to be seen on camera because "I've been photographed enough." Mark Mori's labor of love documentary Bettie Page Reveals All also doesn't show us the iconic model as she was in her last years, but we hear Page narrate her life story. In hundreds of pictures Page looks at us levelly under her straight, lustrous black bangs. "I'm an illusion," Page says over the phone, age having hoarsened what must have been a honeyed Southern drawl. » Read More
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
It's narratively fractured, and only in moments does the familiar WWII metaphor emerge. That happens when raffish boatman Bard (Luke Evans, proving that a mullet can be workable) tries to warn the medieval-Baltic city of Laketown of the flying wrath to come. (He gets no help from the city's poncy, gouty Master, played by Stephen Fry.) Yet The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is a huge improvement over An Unexpected Journey—it's a well-filled smorgasboard without much starch. » Read More

Bioprinters Revolutionize 3D Printing
The thing hasn't moved all night. Not an inch. Looped with coils of wire that wend their way down to a motherboard, the machine looks like it's coursing with energy, but it has sat perfectly, maddeningly still for the last two hours. The one sign of life in there is the brief alert beep, which is generated by a computer and not the machine itself, when someone plugs its USB cable into a laptop. For a bioprinter—an object meant to "print" living cells—so far, well, it's pretty lifeless. » Read More
