26 unreleased Zim gems unearthed

By John Barnett · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12:29 a.m.

PBS' American Masters series will air Martin Scorsese's "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan," a chronicle of Dylan's turbulent career from 1959 to 1966, on September 26 and 27. Accompanying the film is this 2-disc soundtrack, which is not so much a cohesive collection of the songs contained in the film itself as it is a primer for this period of Dylan's career, wherein the span of 7 years he went from recording a shrill blues number with a high school friend to redefining rock and roll as the world knew it.

The 'Invisible' talent of Coral

By -Nate Bethea · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12:27 a.m.

There's a joke about Britain's New Music Express: they heap unbelievable praise on every single new band with the hopes that when one of them actually becomes a sensation, they can claim they said it first.

The Buildings where we Study

By Mary P. Hansell · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12:03 a.m.

During freshman orientation, incoming students watch a short video in the IU Auditorium about "dear IU." The video features interviews with several students who express their thoughts on buildings, landscaping and the overall feel of the grounds. Over and over again, everyone says the same thing: "It's just so beautiful." This begs the question: What is it about IU that makes students consider the campus so "beautiful"?

One 'Transporter' is enough

By Sean Abbott · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

Way back in 2002, "The Transporter" was a pretty good movie. It had the perfect blend of car chases through scenic France, not-too-crazy martial arts fisticuffs and appropriately interesting characters.It was shot with the finesse of a good martial arts movie and came with the right kind of charm to make it appealing. Now picture all of that, and toss it completely out the window. That's "The Transporter 2."

Keepin' It Blackalicious

By Adam Aasen · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

In 1987, in an economics class in Sacramento, Calif. a hip-hop group was formed. Xavier Mosley and Tim Parker were just two kids sitting in class arguing about hip-hop -- and they didn't like each other one bit.

Rhino's Rocks Reopening

While Bloomington is home to a variety of bars, there is one club that provides something that bars in particular can't -- an all-ages venue.

Summer movie mindlessness

By C. Warner Sills · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

Remember early on in the summer the cool fad in Hollywood seemed to be the claim that this year would prove to be the end of big summer blockbusters, and that the movie-going public was bored with formulaic money-makers. Oh, how these people were wrong.

A standing 'O' for obscene 'Aristocrats'

By Evan Wade · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

Okay, so a guy walks into a talent agent's office with his wife, two kids and a dog. Stop me if you've heard this one. Actually, don't. Chances are even if you have heard it, you haven't heard it the way it's told in "The Aristocrats," a hilarious, if flawed, quasi-documentary from Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller fame) and Paul Provenza.

BREW FOR YOU

By Mike Wilson · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

Money was worth the paper it was printed on, but beer was worth its weight in gold in the snowy Alaskan wilderness.

Geography worth relishing

By Jonathan Daugherty · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

"Sahara" is director Breck Eisner's first major film. I know what you're thinking, "who would give a novice director a film with a budget of $125 million?" Walt Disney executive and daddy Michael Eisner, that's who. But to be fair, Breck Eisner really did prove himself with this well-directed action movie. As actor Steve Zahn said, "I'm in a real movie!"

'Underclassman' Flunks Out

By Robert O'Connor · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

Ah, "Underclassman." This has to be one of the least anticipated movies of the year, up there with "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo." If you saw the previews for this film and thought, "Hey, that looks delightful," then you are a bad person, and I blame you for being the reason that self-indulgent tripe like this is even made.

An opera of vengeance

By Chris Wisner · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

Korean director Chan-wook Park's "Oldboy," the second chapter in his Vengeance Trilogy (part one being "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance; part three being "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance"), is the kind of film that acts as a calling card to the cinematic world. Honored with the Grand Prix at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival (unfortunately meaning it took second place to Michael Moore's worthless "Fahrenheit 9/11"), "Oldboy" is a film that demands to be seen by all.

Middle-aged bald guy is thrilling

By Ty Schrock · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

In Season 4 of "Curb Your Enthusiasm", Larry David continues to do what he does best: alienate almost everyone around him by saying and doing whatever he pleases, while finding himself in humorous and embarrassing predicaments along the way. Like George Costanza, the "Seinfeld" character based off of him, David has the uncanny knack for getting under people's skin. Even at his most polite, he still refuses to adhere to any normal social standards.

Kanye graduates to sophomore album

By Cordell Eddings · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

According to Kanye West: "It's a celebration, bitches." The Louis Vuitton Don and his disturbing mascot, the Bear, are back in Late Registration, arguably the most anticipated album of 2005, and the cocky Chi-town artist/producer Kanye West will not let us forget it.
