A different kind of trick-or-treat

By Katie King · Thursday, Oct. 24,2002 1:08 a.m.

While most children will be collecting candy this Halloween, Mitzvah Corps will instead be collecting canned goods. Starting today, Mitzvah Corps, a volunteer organization sponsored by the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center, in collaboration with Hoosier Hills Food Pantry, are collecting non-perishable food items in a fund-raising effort titled Halloween for the Hungry.

EA serves up another hat trick

By C. Warner Sills and Mike D’Avria · Thursday, Oct. 24,2002 1 a.m.

EA has been making amazing hockey games since the creation of the company. Well, the newest version, "NHL 2003," is slower than Disney on Ice, the camera is too close to the action and the hits are about as hard as a "Celebrity Boxing" match. Luckily, EA has added hundreds of different gameplay and display options that let you customize the game to your liking. Once you speed up the skaters and add a bit of aggression, you realize that this is the best hockey game ever created. The graphics and sound make people think they are watching ESPN, but watching is just part of the fun. But be forewarned: as soon as you pick up a controller, it may be weeks before you put it down.

Sometimes you just need the Pixies

By Seth Forster · Thursday, Oct. 24,2002 12:56 a.m.

So, I'm in the music library studying for a music history exam. After about three hours in a row of listening to music that spans 408 B.C. to 1300 A.D. and looking over the study guide for the 30th time, I feel like I'm going to explode. I need a little sonic salvation, so I put on the Pixies. The first time I heard this band (that I remember) was about five years ago, and I don't think I feel much different about them now than I did then. I only randomly listen to these guys about once every few months. It's a sort of weird therapy.

Spineless studio snubs sniper

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Oct. 24,2002 12:53 a.m.

Hollywood's done it again, folks. Just when you thought those "sharks" in suits couldn't become anymore pansy -- they have. The geniuses at 20th Century Fox have decided to indefinitely halt the release of "Phone Booth," a high-concept thriller originally set for release around Thanksgiving, due to the recent attacks of the infamous D.C. sniper.

Clowns aren't always funny

By by Isaac Edwards and Isaac Edwards · Thursday, Oct. 24,2002 12:44 a.m.

Clowns are not happy people. They offer you their candy-coated smile and a taffy chew and damn your soul before you can say, "Bozo." And everyone knows what Bozo -- or should I say B.O.Z.O.? -- really stands for: Beelzebub's Overly-Zealous Offspring. The simple fact that clowns are in allegiance with the Dark Lord came as no surprise: thus, when, in 1990, ABC aired the mini-series adaptation of Stephen King's killer-clown epic "It."

Chevelle copies Tool, with great success

By Tom McMahon · Thursday, Oct. 24,2002 12:19 a.m.

Look, it's Tool. No, it's Chevelle. The three Midwestern boys who started off with Point #1 have come a long way. That first album was supposed to have had a couple of singles and been very popular on college campuses (as the band was in college at the time) but I sure didn't hear any of those songs.

Blondie a great blast from the past

By Brant Fechter · Thursday, Oct. 24,2002 12:15 a.m.

Blondie's Greatest Hits showcases how a rock and roll band can have the talent to supply a buffet of hot pop, punk, New Wave, rap, blues, disco and spicy reggae. This CD is the perfect dance mix for a retro party supplied with disco ball and bell bottoms.

'Kid' a college of polished glitz

By by Isaac Edwards and Isaac Edwards · Thursday, Oct. 24,2002 12 a.m.

Generally defined, a documentary film is one that approaches its subject with objectivity. When the very first title card to a documentary is, "There are three sides to every story: my side, your side and the truth...," that objectivism is being challenged. With this being the opening title to "The Kid Stays in the Picture," it quickly becomes apparent just where that objectivism lies: right out the window. "The Kid Stays in the Picture" is the unapologetically self-slanted story of "my side," which is Robert Evans' side. Evans glitzes his pitch with such schmaltzy self-glorification that it almost feels pornographic, and voyeurism has rarely been in such good fun.

'Caution:' This album is just plain mediocre

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, Oct. 24,2002 12 a.m.

Hot Water Music is one of those bands that I always resolve to see when it plays the Warped Tour. Then I get my program for the multiple-stage punk festival and realize there is always someone better playing on another stage at the same time. So I decide to miss the band and wait until next year, when someone else invariably comes around and forces me to miss Hot Water Music again.

'Barenaked' sounds great - but it's not

By Katie Burns · Thursday, Oct. 24,2002 12 a.m.

Jennifer Love Hewitt has released her fourth album, Barenaked, and it is as memorable as the prior three. The album is shallow, predictable and imitative of all the female pop music that has been successful in the past year.
