Ty Burr, film critic for The Boston Globe, explores how and why we obsess over movie stars. In Gods Like Us: On Movie Stardom and Modern Fame he leads an entertaining journey through modern fame at its flashiest, most indulgent, occasionally most tragic, and its most revealing.

Big explosions, big laughs, and big buckets of popcorn: that's what we expect when we hit the movie theaters in the summer. This year’s blockbuster season has officially started, with the opening of Wolverine last week, and now Star Trek. Ty Burr is a film critic for the Boston Globe, and he’s here to tell us what to watch and what to avoid at the theater this summer.
