Five-Star, Flavor-Forward Mexican Fast-Food If you were to design a dream taqueria, chances are it would look something like this: Blazingly fresh salsas and sauces, quality sustainable meats and organic produce. While fantasizing, why not ask for housemade everything -- including the cheese, crema, and chorizo. And while you’re at it, throw in masa ground on premises, with a master chef patting out endless shingles of homemade tortillas and tamales? Nopalito, a relative newcomer to the SF Mexican food pyramid and sister to Nopa a few blocks away, is a taco-lover’s dream realized. |

Changing the Fashion Code Indulging your fashion desires can seem frivolous in a down economy, unless you’re making your own clothes or shopping second hand. But if you can still afford it, there are events like weddings, anniversaries, or snazzy shindigs that might warrant a brand new dress. |

Outstanding Art of the Afterlife The treasures of ancient Egypt have fascinated the modern imagination ever since the rash of excavations in the 19th century. A rich culture that lasted for thousands of years, the kingdom of ancient Egypt pre-dated the Greeks and lasted about three times as long as the Roman Empire. However, over the course of the past five thousand years, many of the treasures of Egypt have been looted and stolen, scattered all over the world in private collections and public museums. |

Oh, How the Mighty Have Fallen Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars.
Few sequels this summer have generated as much anticipation as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. This should come as no surprise given the first installment of the franchise grossed well over $300 million, pleased legions of transformer geeks, and was relatively well received by critics. This is a tough act to follow and while Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen doesn’t fail, it stumbles more than a few times. |

Family Drama (and Trauma) Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars.
When a bestselling novel makes the jump from the printed page to the big screen, fans inevitably compare the adaptation to the source material, often finding fault in the adaptation for a lack of faithfulness or fidelity to the novel. Sometimes, however, filmmakers err in the opposite direction, in sticking so closely to what they perceive are the novel’s unique qualities that they forgot that narrative techniques that work on the page often don’t work in a primarily visual medium like film. |

Another Allen Misfire Rating: 2 out of 5 stars.
If Whatever Works, the latest film from prolific filmmaker Woody Allen, is any indication, it’s time for the well-past-his-prime Allen to take a respite from filmmaking, perhaps even a permanent one. A stale, tired rehash of ideas and themes that first appeared thirty years ago and have since been recycled repeatedly, but with Larry David ("Curb Your Enthusiasm", "Seinfeld") taking over as the neurotic misanthrope moviegoers are expected to love, Whatever Works is, sadly a minor work from a filmmaker fading quickly into the twilight of his career. |
 |
Unrequited, Victorian Love Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
Chéri is successful not necessarily in its execution or storytelling, but in the actors that adorn the screen. Stephen Frear’s (High Fidelity, The Queen) latest is definitely not the defining film of his career, but he does flex his muscles as a filmmaker and illustrates his abilities to draw out astounding performances from his actors. The film, which was adapted for the screen by Christopher Hampton (Atonement) from a Colette novel, meanders through the story of an unrequited May-December love affair during the beautiful Paris of the 1920s. |

Another ‘Amazing’ Band from Brooklyn Brooklyn’s Amazing Baby has earned comparisons to their friends MGMT and Led Zeppelin with heavy rock songs that reach for psychedelic and mythical references without being overtly hippy. The group, in the midst of a tour opening for French buzz-band Phoenix, stops in San Francisco June 27th for a set at the Spectrum Festival at the Regency Ballroom before returning to San Francisco for the final installment of Popscene vs. Loaded at Rickshaw Stop on July 3rd. Guitarist Simon O’Connor spoke with SF Station from the streets of Kansas City, where he was in search of a pharmacy before Amazing Baby’s show there. |

Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Dropping everything from bass heavy hip hop remixes to electro, Lando Kal and Low Limit constitute the dope duo better known as Lazersword. Traveling all over the world and playing festivals with big names such as Flying Lotus and headlining their own shows here in the Bay, these boys know how to throw a great party and have managed to garner a mass following of fans along the way. Taking time out of their busy schedule for SF Station, Lazersword graciously answers a few questions. |

Released on Domino Records, 6/09/09 Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
The name Dirty Projectors has been bouncing around the music kingdom for quite some time now, and it is no wonder. Founder and current musical arranger/director Dave Longstreth has been steadily releasing albums for the past seven years, but not just any ol’ albums -- concept albums. It does sound a little far-reaching at first, an entire album about Don Henley followed by Rise Above, an album of Black Flag covers arranged solely from memory. But after a listen to Bitte Orca, the band’s latest release on Domino Records, you begin to understand just how someone like Longstreth might get away |
