Record...
Dave Matthews Band
Before These Crowded Streets
The Dave Matthews Band is
gearing up for a huge summer tour and they give us a miraculous preview of what
to expect with a collection of new material. His fiery vocals hold their own,
while the rest of the band puts out a great effort with inventive rhythm
sections and dynamic lead instrumentalists. Alanis Morissette even makes a
contribution with a haunting verse of "Spoon".
At The
Movies...
Deep Impact
When a comet is discovered to be
on a collision course with Earth, the resulting global
panic forces the U.S. president
(Morgan Freeman) to devise a survival strategy, while a former U.S. astronaut
(Robert Duvall) studies the possibility of diverting the comet's approach. This
film is packing a stellar cast and a lot of dazzling special effects by
Industrial Light and Magic, giving you a rousing nail biter.
On Video...
Alien Resurrection
Sigourney Weaver's Ripley is
cloned back to life to give birth to an alien for further scientific and warfare
research. Naturally things get a bit out of hand and Ripley teams up with a
rogue crew of outer space misfits (including Winona Ryder and Ron Perlman) to
fight the slimy killer species. There's plenty of gore and action for Alien
buffs as the best aspects of the film's three predecessors are cloned for reuse
here.
