Calendar: Film & TV

“The 2004 Golden Globe
Awards”
NBC
Jan. 25, 7 p.m. Look! It’s a Dr. Evil punch line waiting to
happen … the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s annual
awards show is basically the margarine to the Emmy’s butter,
the Diet Coke of the Oscar’s Coke Classic. Still, the show is
always fun, if only to see Tom Cruise smile at his only chance to
win an award this season. This awards show is about as formal as a
high school dance. But seriously, folks, I just flew in from New
York, and boy are my arms tired.

“The Films of G.W. Pabst”
James Bridges Theater
Jan. 24-Feb. 7 Not as well-known as his German contemporaries F.W.
Murnau and Fritz Lang, the Austrian-born Pabst began as a theater
director before pursuing film in Germany beginning in the 1920s.
His films fall squarely in the ranks of German Expressionism, and
to honor his retrospective, the UCLA Film and Television Archive
has gathered prints of nine of his films from all over his long
career. Log on to www.cinema.ucla.edu for a schedule.

“My Architect: A Son’s
Journey”
Landmark Nuart
Opens Jan. 23 Playing for two weeks, one week longer than most
films are scheduled at the Nuart, “My Architect”
studies the life of Louis I. Kahn, the famous architect who
designed such buildings as the Salk Institute, the Kimbell Art
Museum and the capitol building in Bangladesh. Go to
