Meet Neko Case

By -Kehla West · Thursday, June 23,2005 12 a.m.

Country noir artist Neko Case's last album, The Tigers Have Spoken, may have only been 35 minutes long, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have plenty to say. After her June 13 show in Bloomington, she took a few minutes to discuss music, politics and the glamorous life of a touring musician.

'Heaven' and 'The Lubitsch Touch'

By Chris Wisner · Thursday, June 23,2005 12 a.m.

If anyone knew how to make a comedy with a lot of class, it was director Ernst Lubitsch. There is something magical, something that resonates in his films that earned the merit of "The Lubitsch Touch." "Heaven Can Wait" is one of those films.

'Jaws' celebrates 30 years of scares

By John Barnett · Thursday, June 23,2005 12 a.m.

Steven Spielberg was 27 years old when he made "Jaws." He was hired on pure faith by the producers, and not since someone put Alexander the Great in charge have the top brass possessed keener foresight. Alexander was nothing if not a populist, and one who knew how to spin straw into gold with the best of them.

'Jaws' celebrates 30 years of scares

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.

Hey, it's that one guy!

By Adam Aasen · Thursday, June 23,2005 12 a.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.

'Hours' of enjoyment

By Chris Wisner · Thursday, June 23,2005 12 a.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 · Thursday, June 23,2005 12 a.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.

'Everything' electronic

By Jeff O'Reilly · Thursday, June 23,2005 12 a.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.

What happened to horror movies?

By Chris Wisner · Thursday, June 23,2005 12 a.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.

Better than real

By C. Warner Sills and Selena Dehne · Thursday, June 23,2005 12 a.m.

Bringing timeless rockers like Led Zeppelin and Guns N' Roses to Bloomington is an impossible task for Dave Kubiak, the manager at Bluebird Nightclub, but that's not stopping him from bringing the best imitation of them that he can.
