The House Next Door —
By Tom Stempel COMING UP IN THIS COLUMN: The Reader, Milk, The Day the Earth Stood Still, two Librarian films, but first: *** FAN MAIL: As usual, the discussion among the readership on Novak and Vertigo was fascinating, especially the nuances of the actor-director relationship that several commenters got into. Now if I can just train you all to look at the writer-actor and writer-director relationships with the same kind of nuance… I do agree with "Tom” that I do not want to turn this into the “Kim Novak Channel.” ...

Hulu expands its documentary film selection
