Film Review: “Hannibal”

By Andy Sywak

Director Ripley Scott turns out the sequel to 1991's "Silence of the Lambs" that is every bit as beautifully shot as its predecessor, but unfortunately compensates in gore for what it lacks in suspense.

Straight to Video Classics: “Raising Cain”

By Trey Clark

Don't ever confuse the fact that the strong point of any "Classic" is its lead actor, and "Raising Cain's" man is none other than John Lithgow. That's right, THE John Lithgow.

The realistic dialogue is enhanced by the use of nonprofessional actors, many of them factory workers cast to fit their fictional counterparts.

A one-hit wonder waiting to happen. Sadly, for people who like power pop, Gwenmars is power poop that is going to get play on “alternative” radio. It fits the mold. The lyrics are written at an eighth-grade l...

Music Review: Various Artists | 20,000 Leagues Under the Street | Pockets Linted

Music Review: Nebula | Charged | Sub Pop

By Collin Mitchell

Perhaps this is a throwback to the heyday of the Seattle sound or the result of three guys who just like playing the devil’s music. Unfortunately, Charged doesn’t quite live up to its name, and Nebula’s...

Music Review: Red House Painters | Old Ramon | Sub Pop

By Mohann G. Mann Artsweek Music Critic

Unlike any other singer in the history of music, Red House Painters’ singer Mark Kozelek has managed to write six full albums about nothing more than ex-girlfriends – and remain interesting. It’s unbeli...
