  • John Eliot Gardiner Undercutting His Old Ensembles Is Disgraceful, And So Are The Presenters Going Along With It “Andrew Mellor: “At best, he looks like a bitter fool. It’s a shame for him, for anyone who has a modicum of respect for his talent and for anyone who has done good work with him.

  • Why 1984’s “Terminator” Movie Still Resonates Today “The film’s legacy in pop culture is enduring.
