'Frida' seduces with Hayek, Taymor

By by Isaac Edwards and Issac Edwards · Thursday, Jan. 23,2003 12 a.m.

Director Julie Taymor first came to critical fame with her visually stunning Broadway adaptation of Disney's "The Lion King." From here, Taymor moved her acclaimed visionary eye to Shakespeare with her directorial debut "Titus," delivering a world richly cloaked in color and surrealistic metaphor, leaving some in awe and others in angst. Taymor once again returns to this world of wonder in her most recent film "Frida," this time her focus is on surrealist painter Frida Kahlo.

Expression Behind Bars

By Sean Addington · Wednesday, Jan. 22,2003 11:22 p.m.

People scramble about. Voices come from the backroom where books are packaged. Artwork is brought out for the exhibit opening the next day. The music stops suddenly as an answering machine plays one of its current messages. The caller, as it turns out, is inmate David Hammer. The message he leaves isn't what one might expect. It's a message of gratitude. Hammer thanks the volunteers of the "Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project" (MPPP) for providing him and other inmates books to read as they serve their time.

Clancy comes alive with 'Cell'

By -Alec Toombs · Wednesday, Jan. 22,2003 4:05 p.m.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell" is one of the best games of the past year. It stands toe-to-toe with, and in some respects even exceeds, other more heavily hyped titles such as "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" and "Metroid Prime" in sheer entertainment value. It's also the coolest thing to hit the Xbox since "Halo." In a word, it's awesome.

Catchy pop impressive

By -Alec Toombs · Wednesday, Jan. 22,2003 4:02 p.m.

Supergrass, the punky Brit-pop power trio, returns with Life On Other Planets, its fourth album. While not as cheekily fun as its previous albums, nor as sonically diverse as 1999's self-titled album, the new album is still a fun, impressive listen. Life On Other Planets kicks off in high fashion with "Za," a golden pop nugget with a hellacious backbeat and catchy piano riff.

Modern trash, tech. nightmare

By Seth Forster · Wednesday, Jan. 22,2003 3:54 p.m.

Local guitarist Denis Taaffe's Modern Rock Guitar is just that, no more, no less. In an instrumental style reminiscent of Joe Satriani or Eric Johnson, minus the excellent backing bands and better engineering, Taaffe uses drum programs and guitar loops to layer his improvised, guitar-rock style.

By -Alec Toombs · Wednesday, Jan. 22,2003 3:52 p.m.

This past year wound-up being one of the best for cinema in recent memory. Sure, filmgoers had to wade through junk like "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever," "Men In Black II" and "XXX," but without the bad does one truly have a barometer to measure the good? I think not.
