Latest war puzzle doesn't really fit

By Natalie A. Trout · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

As the title indicates, this film was definitely baffling. The story was interesting, but pushed too far for a movie based on reality. The acting was superb, but the inaccuracies were abundant. Even a few days after seeing "Enigma," I'm not quite sure how much I'm willing to forgive.

I'm not a freak, I just 'Crush' a lot

By Frank Valish · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

In a perfect world, Velvet Crush would be pop rock heroes. Since the early '90s, Paul Chastain and Ric Menck have been consistently releasing songs filled with glorious melodies, jangly guitars and drop-dead-gorgeous harmonies.

Psychedelic soul music

By Michael Tapscott and Mike Tapscott · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

It is often suggested that soul music cannot be faked, that any hint of discomfort or mortality will show through. While the theory holds quite a bit of water, it is also true that with the carelessness that such talent can afford you comes meticulous craftsmanship.

GBV 'Cycle' into the future of rock

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

On Universal Truths and Cycles, Guided by Voices' 13th album in twelve years (three of which were live), the band returns to its former label, Matador, and to its stripped-down and far more experimental sound.

Nick's celebrates its 75th anniversary

By Natalie A. Trout · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

Seventy-five years ago Nick Hrisomalos, a Greek immigrant, purchased a piece of land on Kirkwood Avenue and opened up a sandwich shop named "Nick's English Hut." Ironically enough, that same year Dick Barnes, current co-owner of Nick's, was born. July 3rd will mark 75 years for Nick's English Hut and Dick Barnes' 75th birthday.

By Natalie A. Trout · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

Ashanti, Khia, Tweet, and now Truth Hurts are all coming out with R&B/Hip Hop albums that many are hoping to be big hits this summer. African American females are making a major appearance and comeback in music. At the bottom of the list is Truth Hurts.

Disappointment in Aboriginal oddity

By -Mitchell Tellstrom · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

Prog rock veteran and experienced experimenter, Peter Gabriel is back with a new album, Long Walk Home: Music from Rabbit-Proof Fence, a soundtrack to the Australian film The "Rabbit-Proof Fence." The liner notes read, 'Rabbit-Proof Fence' is the true story of Molly Craig, one of Australia\'s 'Stolen Generation.' Molly…and her sister and cousin had been taken fifteen hundred miles from their home and family to one of the government institutions that had been established to train Aboriginal children as domestic workers for white society. Molly led the girls in an escape. Pursued by trackers, they succeeded in finding the rabbit-proof fence that Molly knew would lead them all the way across Australia's outback to their home."

An ongoing tradition -- Nick's a great place

By Ryan Hildebrandt · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

Burgers, famous strombolis, pizza, beer and buckets; celebrities, adminstration, faculty, politicians, undergrads, graduate students and alumni; grafitti, pool and TVs; preps, jocks, hippies, nerds, frat-boys, townies, freaks and old people. All of these can be found at Nick's English Hut on any given day.

Barefoot and starry-eyed

By Yahya Chami and Yayha Chami · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

Nostalgia can be a powerful force. It can be so great it causes a band of musicians to forgo most of their creative right, and try their best to remain within the lines of a famous blueprint.

Disney's latest will leave you in 'Stitch'es'

By Brian Haney · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

I will try not to use the word cute to describe this movie, but truthfully there probably isn't any other way to describe it. Charming, delightfully refreshing and surprisingly funny, this animated adventure is prefect for kids and parents alike. Echoing a similar masterpiece, this "E.T."-esque film bonds a misunderstood Hawaiian girl named Lilo with her new dog and best friend, Stitch, a genetically created destructive alien. These two unlikely characters are both lost and alone, and ultimately form the prefect duo. Their ensuing tale fills theaters with a wholesome mix of laughter and "awww's."

Hype kills Spielberg's sci-fi 'Report'

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

Many critics have hailed Steven Spielberg's latest opus, "Minority Report" as his finest piece of action celluloid since "Raiders of the Lost Ark." First off, the flick isn't action oriented -- it's much more like a sci-fi tinged film noir. Secondly, "the Beard" has churned out better works in wake of his 1981 juggernaut -- both "Indiana Jones" sequels, "Jurassic Park" and "Saving Private Ryan" are all far superior to this "Report."

Rounder brings light to folk traditions

By Ryan Whirty and Ryan Wirty · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

Cambridge-based Rounder Records has always prided itself on presenting the widest variety of traditional folk and roots music in North America. That difficult but admirable goal is represented by two of the label's June releases: One a live, two-disc set from Cape Breton fiddle player Natalie MacMaster, the other a compilation of 1930s aluminum and acetate recordings of spirituals and work songs from a tiny enclave of African Americans in South Carolina.

Spacey's latest old 'News'

By Amy Oringer and Amy Orringer · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

It is a shame that this movie dropped off the radar of many moviegoers this year. "The Shipping News" received several Oscar nominations, despite its lower profile on movie screens across the country. But after watching the DVD, I can understand why people didn't get too excited over the concept of this film.

Black rules 'Orange County'

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

"Orange County" is the rare teen comedy that doesn't play dumb for its youthful audience. That's not to say it's an extraordinary cinematic achievement, but unlike many flicks of its ilk, it's genuinely funny, has solid acting and boasts equal parts humanity and humor. Relatively ignored upon its release this past January (traditionally a dumping ground for Hollywood crap), "Orange County" is well worth a look now that it's on DVD.

Do the Dü

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

Hüsker Dü was a Minneapolis rock band whose name came from a Scandinavian board game meaning, "Do You Remember?" Well, no one who has ever listened to Hüsker Dü has ever forgotten.

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, June 27,2002 12 a.m.

For those of you expecting a frat guy and sorority to girl tie the knot in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," I have news for you. This is actually about Greek people with a capital G.

Brand admits to law evasion

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, June 26,2002 11:18 p.m.

IU President Myles Brand admitted he and IU trustees have held meetings in small groups to evade Indiana's open meetings laws, a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the University said. While having meetings to discuss such things as budget matters and the much-heated former IU basketball coach Bob Knight issues, Brand and the trustees feel they didn't break the law since the meetings didn't involve a majority of the nine trustees.

A current employee of IU's Kelley School of Business was arrested for child pornography and misdemeanor battery and is currently out on bail awaiting further investigation. Kevin Sochocki, programmer analyst for the business school, was initially arrested by the Bloomington Police Department Friday, but has not been formally charged with the crimes.

Students pay the price for activities

By J. Chris Carmichael · Wednesday, June 26,2002 11:09 p.m.

With just a cursory glance at a bursar bill, students will find a wide variety of enigmatic fees, including additional course fees, technology and health fees. One fee that students may find particularly confounding is the student activity fee, which, according to the Office of the Bursar, is appropriated down to the very last cent to no less than 13 different activities and services.

Fans pay their respects to baseball's Darryl Kile

By Alex Hickey · Wednesday, June 26,2002 10:53 p.m.

Sunday night's game at Wrigley Field was supposed to be another typical tilt between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs. A packed crowd would house a nearly even mixture of supporters of either club, with plenty of good-natured harassment ready for the opposition. The match-up on the mound would pit the Cubs' Jason Bere against the Cardinals' Darryl Kile. But in life, nothing is set in stone.
