Kapow! Explodes on Music Scene

By Annie Tasker · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 12 a.m.

Fledgling rock band Kapow! is getting its name known around Bloomington by leaving it where people can see. Sketches of its comic-like logo explode on multicolored CD envelopes all over town. Free demos sit in front of the register at Soma and on the counter at Dharma Emporium on Kirkwood. Local merchants don't know where they came from. "If they came in and left those CDs, I didn't see them," says a Dharma Emporium employee.

Overcoming stereotypes with Pooh

By Tristan Mathews · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 12 a.m.

Winnie, Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit and Eeyore take the backseat in "Pooh's Heffalump Movie," an amusing tale of disproving prejudice and finding new friends.

Scorsese gem finally gets released

By Chris Wisner and compiled by Chris Wisner · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 12 a.m.

It's widely considered the greatest film of the '80s. It gathered eight Academy Award nominations including Robert De Niro's second Oscar win. It stands alongside other Scorsese masterworks such as "Goodfellas," "Taxi Driver" and most recently "The Aviator." And finally, after years of being out of print, "Raging Bull" has finally been rereleased as a two-disc collector's edition set.

'Drake' breaks hearts, opens minds

By -Kehla West · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 12 a.m.

"Vera Drake" ostensibly tells the story of a London woman who "helps out young girls" in the 1950s. (That translates to "back-alley abortions" for the euphemistically challenged.) But the true story, the one that sticks, is of a poor family struggling in post-war London. They work hard, they fall in love slowly and they always, no matter what, try to do the right thing. And Vera herself teaches us that whatever the matter, there's no problem so insurmountable that it can't be fixed with a nice cup of tea and a word of comfort. This is a quiet little movie, but it speaks loudly.

Syndicating 'The Sopranos' to help TV

By Tony Sams · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 12 a.m.

The three questions that zipped through my mind when I heard that A&E -- the basic cable channel most widely known for its somniferous series "Biography" -- had acquired HBO's hit mob drama "The Sopranos," were: 1) When will it start? 2) How much did they pay? And 3) Is it going to be shown unedited?

Escaping into the '90s

By Karen Green · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 12 a.m.

Let me start this by saying that I truly love the '90s. When the first installment of the series, appropriately titled "I Love the '90s," premiered on VH1 last summer, I ate it up. Through the extensive reruns aired daily, I'm pretty sure I prematurely reminisced about every year in the glorious decade with the well selected panel of comedians.

Comic Relief

By Tristan Mathews · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 12 a.m.

Over the past half-decade the popular masses have discovered that comic books are not exclusively for kids. There has been a general misunderstanding that this is a change from years past, but comics' main audience has always been more adult in nature.

Peels offer up a refined debut

By Mike Ley · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 12 a.m.

Rock 'n' roll came back with the Strokes and has been stuck in a Stooges rut ever since. This is only acceptable since I can't have that signature Ron Asheton crunch outside of their catalog. Meanwhile, new rock bands have been keeping the hipsters happy with repetitive riffs and slurred speech. In picking up this record, the Peels looked like another '70s throwback, but it turns out that's not all they've been listening to.

Smith gets 'Jiggy With It' in romantic comedy

By Sean Abbott · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 12 a.m.

The funny thing about love is how different people like to experience it. Some people want it to happen fast, and others try to make it slow way down. Still other poor souls don't know how they like it, and by the time they've discovered their strategy isn't working, it's too late to fix the problem.

'Seventeen Days' not enough to write album

By John Barnett · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 12 a.m.

With three hit songs and multiple music award nominations under their belt thanks to their last two radio-friendly LPs, Escatawpa, Miss. quartet 3 Doors Down continues to record rock for the working man on their latest release, Seventeen Days; an album as pedestrian as it is superficially earnest.

Cut me some slack

By Alyson Brodsy and Joanna Borns · Wednesday, Feb. 16,2005 11:06 p.m.

The act of "slacking" is generally done by the species Lazy-us Slackimus, otherwise known as the "slacker." In the past, slacking was viewed as a noble lifestyle where the slacker lived at home in his parents' basement.
