Bay Area transplant Patrick O’Sullivan (above photo, right) is creator and director of All About Walken: The Impersonators of Christopher Walken, a comedic homage to the actor-dancer who plays creepy-spooky better than anyone else we know. LAist recently queried O’Sullivan to find out exactly why Walken is worth such a pop culture celebration. LAist: According to a news clip posted on your site, the idea for your show sprouted when you and your friends......

Who doesn't love Christopher Walken? Even though we've seen True Romance a gazillion times, if it's on Cinemax and it's getting near the scene where Walken and Dennis Hopper deliver their violent conversation, we'll pause our flipping because there's very little on tv better than that. In a play that reminds us of the scene in "Being John Malkovich" where Malkovich has gone through the wormhole and there are tons of Malkoviches everywhere, be......

The Writer's Guild West is following in AFI's listomania footsteps and come up with the 101 Greatest Screenplays. We won't keep you in suspense — #1 is everyone's favorite B-movie-made-good, Casablanca: I'm not good at being noble, Ilsa -- But it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Not now. Here's looking at you......

Okay, it's true confessions time. We've been waiting for Tea at Five, the one-woman play about the life of Katharine Hepburn, to hit the west coast for over two years now. We took our seat in the lovely and historic Pasadena Playhouse opening night, practically biting our nails in nervous anticipation. After all, it seems to take a Kate (or a Cate) to play the Great Kate, and we were ready to see Mulgrew......

LAist is going on a delicious spree around LA from A to Z. Today, we finish up last week's A: All About Indian, with a trip to Annapurna, Indian Vegetarian Cuisine. Like most Indian restaurants, Annapurna has a lunch buffet. Is it odd that buffets are so common in Indian restaurants? No, it’s very understandable, actually. Indian isn’t a a cook-to-order cuisine like burgers, sushi, or Chinese. Curries simmer for hours, improving in flavor......

LAist is going on a delicious spree around LA. This week: A is All About Indian. However, we're in need of a quickie. At one point, LAist couldn’t quite understand the analogy between pizza and sex, but finally understood the parallel as a guy’s simple, straightforward logic. Yes, of course you’ll take some if it’s there, and like sex, pizza can never really be bad. For the ladies, the analogy is, of course, much......

LAist is going on a delicious spree around LA from A to Z. This week, A is All About Indian. Yesterday, LAist made a visit to All India Cafe, a restaurant that does a fairly good job of representing foods from all over the subcontinent of India. Today, we go to Asian Kitchen in Culver City, for Indian and Pakistani cuisines. Asian Kitchen is situated in the back corner of a rundown looking plaza......

LAist is going on a delicious spree around LA from A to Z. This week: A is All About Indian. All India Cafe is a clean, bright white restaurant located on the second floor of a strip mall in West LA. (There’s also a location at 39 South Fair Oaks Avenue in Pasadena). Up until this last time, we didn’t know All India Cafe was also related to Electric Karma, a trendy sexy Indian......

Wednesday night is happening all over the place: Highland Park, Silverlake, Midtown and Hollywood. Sorry Westside, nothing for you tonight; LAist supposes you'll have to take a little drive to have some fun—but there's always tomorrow! Tonight's entertainment comes in the form of DJs, some rowdy country, a former '90s frontman gone solo, a local act and a classic film. A newly restored print of the 1950 film that revived Bette Davis' career, All About......
