Title: Programming the Nation Director: Jeff Warrick Fewer recent documentary films evince a bigger gap between potential level of intrigue and delivered interest than “Programming the Nation,” a shaggy look at the history of subliminal messaging in the United States that leaves one wanting for the pruning of a sensible editor. Flitting back and forth from 1950s and ’60s cinema and advertising to the alleged usage of subliminal tactics in everything from anti-theft devices, political propaganda, military psychological operations and advanced weapons development, Warrick’s film is interesting in pieces and patches, but ultimately done in by its own manic desire to cram in as much anecdotal detail as possible, no…

The lyrics and basic melodies of these songs remind us of the original bands that wrote them, but listeners can also hear beats and vocals that resemble music of the current decade. A single physical object can radiate magic from…

Don’t believe us that the former “Don’t Cha” singer can perform such a daring task? Well, Nicole will prove you wrong with her opening video for the 2011 NBA playoff coverage, which was…
