 | Everyone Loves Cox! American music legend, Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly) saw it all and did it all (including one of the male members of his band) during his 71 magical years of life. At long last, a bio-pic worthy of the man, has arrived in [b]Walk Hard-The Dewey Cox Story[/b]. Admittedly, Dewey was always a bit of a mystery, but there is one thing we all know about Dewey, the man could walk…HARD!More |  | No Mercy For Swine The innocent are left beaten in the streets. Thugs roam alleys without regard for human life. Law and order is a feeble joke with a bad punchline. Welcome to writer/director Nick Cave’s vision of present day London. However, a group of maligned, emasculated men disappointed with the failures of the police force and government decide to take things into their own hands in [b]Outlaw[/b].More |  | There are Worse Things than Cancer In 2009, the cure for cancer is discovered. Three years later, virtually everyone on the planet is dead. Apparently this "cure" has a nasty habit of turning its host into rabid, bloodthirsty, sunshine intolerant monsters. Fortunately, one of the last (if not the last) humans on the planet (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist who is actively seeking a cure for this heinous virus. Unfortunately, his efforts haven’t exactly panned out.More |  | Fear Changes Everything A strange mist blows into a seaside town in Maine. This mysterious mist brings with it a ghastly assortment of creatures that conveniently have an insatiable thirst for human flesh. Local artist David Drayton (Thomas Jane) and his son manage to hole up in a grocery store with several other locals and tourists while seemingly everyone outside is eaten or otherwise killed. Thus begins the creepy collaboration between director Frank Darabont and Stephen King in [b]The Mist[/b].More |  | Street Parking is Advised Holidays are painful and scary enough as it is without being trapped in a parking garage run by a psychotic security guard. Leave it to the twisted, French horror director Alexandre Aja ([b]High Tension[/b]) to trump garden variety holiday horrors with his latest parking garage headtrip, [b]P2[/b].More |  | The Boy Who Fell To Earth In [b]Martian Child[/b], John Cusack plays a grieving widower, David, who finds himself gravitating towards an eccentric young orphan, Dennis, who spends most of his waking hours outside hiding in a cardboard box. To boot, Dennis (Bobby Coleman) also thinks he’s from Mars. Fortunately, David’s a bit eccentric himself and has a gift for writing science fiction, so this odd match just may have some potential. Can humans and Martians coexist? Is a human father really capable of raising a Martian son?More |  | A Game Best Left Unfinished In 1973, Bruce Lee’s star was on the rise with his staggeringly intense performance in the karate flick [b]Enter The Dragon[/b]. Lee was on his way to becoming an icon of martial arts cinema and he would pave the way for Jackie Chan and countless other martial arts celluloid stars.More |  | Released on-line, 10/10/07; Discbox set, 12/3/07 It’s hard to believe it’s been over four years since we heard Radiohead’s last album [b]Hail to the Thief[/b]. Their previous effort earned a reasonable amount of critical praise and commercial success. After the largely experimental sound explored in [b]Kid A[/b] and [b]Amnesia[/b], [b]Hail to the Thief[/b] sounded like an amalgamation of previous Radiohead efforts. With the release of [b]In Rainbows[/b], it’s hard to know exactly what to expect from Radiohead. But, you can always count on Thom Yorke’s seductive falsetto and a few tracks that will likely haunt you for some time after a listen.More |  | A Vampire’s Paradise Every year in the northernmost town in the world (Barrow, Alaska), 30 days of darkness descends. This uninterrupted darkness presents problems for many and most head south during this period. However, for certain undead, bloodthirsty tourists, Barrow is the undead equivalent of Hawaii with a Sizzler steakhouse on every corner. The question is just how many of the few humans left in Barrow will survive [b]30 Days of Night[/b].More |  | Released on Geffen Records, 9/18/2007 I can’t recall exactly when I first heard The Crystal Method. Maybe it was the Gap khakis commercial nearly ten years ago. Maybe it was a track from a movie soundtrack. Maybe it was some other product endorsement. But, I do remember The Crystal Method made a big impression on me and in short order I picked up [b]Vegas[/b] and played it so many times that I wore the disc out. How ironic that the name of the band is a play on words for one of the most addictive illicit substances out there; the tracks on [b]Vegas[/b] could easily be described as addictive.More |
