If you're looking for sources about a film or music album/song, there are a couple places to look.
Newspaper articles are a good place, but you will also want to potentially search in entertainment publications, such as Rolling Stone, or Variety magazine. These are great places to find reviews of films/music, and to find additional information/reporting on actors, films, musicians, and more.
Use the link to the right to set up your own New York Times personal account (free through CMU) so you can search directly on the New York Times website.
