'Everything' electronic

By Jeff O'Reilly · Wednesday, June 22,2005 9:36 p.m.

Four Tet laptop guru Kieran Hebden seems to have abandoned the beautifully sublime "folktronica" stylings found on his 2003 release Rounds, replacing them with a glitchier, eclectic collage of free jazz samples, and darker, beat-driven tracks on his latest release, Everything Ecstatic.

'Hours' of enjoyment

By Chris Wisner · Wednesday, June 22,2005 9:34 p.m.

A year ago I found out about the British badasses known as Funeral for a Friend by way of the Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation LP and Seven Ways to Scream Your Name EP and you could color me impressed. With a fresh pop sound mixed with European melodic metal conventions and hardcore mentality, FFAF have a unique style and approach that is reconfirmed on their sophomore release, Hours.

'Man' sure isn't 'Perfect'

By Olivia Morales · Wednesday, June 22,2005 9:31 p.m.

There are several problems with "The Perfect Man," a few being a complete lack of authenticity, a simple plotline and the unbearable pretense of anything resembling comedy. Director Mark Rosman and screenwriter Gina Wendkos have pieced together such an unbelievably typical, ordinary movie that it is hardly worth the hour and half it takes to watch it, let alone the $8 it will take to gain admittance.

By Dan Hopmann · Wednesday, June 22,2005 9:27 p.m.

Since their self-titled debut, released a decade ago, the Foo Fighters have always combined elements of grunge and alternative rock to create a unique blend of unmistakable "Foo" sound. But the band turned over a new leaf with its latest release, In Your Honor.

'Jaws' celebrates 30 years of scares

By Tristan Mathews · Wednesday, June 22,2005 9:21 p.m.

While the new "Anniversary Edition" of Martin Scorsese's "Casino" does its job by giving fans an aesthetically pleasing transfer of the quasi-sequel to 1990's "Goodfellas," it completely fails in presenting an otherwise interesting DVD.

America loves Adolf

By Daniel Hiester · Wednesday, June 22,2005 9:17 p.m.

I know I'm in love with someone when everything I see reminds me of that one special person. And if that's how affections work, it looks to me that a lot of people are in love with Adolf Hitler.

What happened to horror movies?

By Chris Wisner · Wednesday, June 22,2005 9:07 p.m.

I'm sick of horror movies. There, I finally said it. Nothing is scary anymore and I am saddened by this current state of non-horrific affairs. I think the last time I was actually scared in a movie theater was when I saw "The Exorcist" re-release back in 2000. Why was I scared? The situations were horrifying, the dialogue was disgusting and the movie was just plain creepy, all reasons why others seems to consider it a horror classic.

By Adam Aasen · Wednesday, June 22,2005 9:05 p.m.

So, I'm out here in New York interning at a magazine right now. I've been going to a lot of intern functions in the city, meeting people who have a lot of the same journalistic aspirations as me. And the other night, my former features editor back when I worked on Weekend invited me to a party with a bunch of his coworkers. We're all taking, having a few beers and making small talk about what colleges we are from, etc., when the weirdest thing happened.
