'Debbie Does Dallas' cast recording is wholesome fun

By Kate Carolan | February 12, 2003

What happens when the most legendary porno film of all time becomes an off-Broadway musical? Well, it sells a lot of tickets and gets some pretty rave reviews. The plot -- that is, to the extent that pornos have plots-- surrounds the character Debbie Benton, who is invited to join the Dallas Cowgirls cheerleading squad.

Cage has room to shine in 'Adaptation'

By Rebecca Leffler | February 3, 2003

I must start off by saying that I am normally not a Nicolas Cage fan. I was hoping that his 2000 movie "Gone in 60 Seconds" was actually a description of his Hollywood career, and I was disappointed to discover that "Moonstruck" was not a medical term denoting death by lunar impact.

Lhamo brings Tibet to Rollins

By Holly Shaffer | February 3, 2003

On Thursday evening, Rollins Chapel was lit by candles and the voice of Yungchen Lhamo. A refugee from Tibet, Lhamo moved between statements about life and searing a capella vocals, finding unity in her homeland. Through her short songs, which lilted quite beautifully through the chapel, she approximated Tibetan prayer.

Corgan's new band Zwan channels Pumpkins' sound

By David N. Archwamety | January 30, 2003

One may wonder why Billy Corgan's latest album isn't billed as a Smashing Pumpkins album. After all, any Pumpkins fan and probably any alternative fan in general will be able to recognize those trademark, playfully whiny vocals. More finely tuned ears will be able to recognize Jimmy Chamberlin on percussion.

An acting showcase, 'The Hours' lacks cinematic vision

By Peter Jenks | January 22, 2003

In these dangerous postmodern days of artistic uncertainty, filmmakers must remain aware that only a near-perfect film can get away with taking itself completely seriously -- anything less and the result is often unnerving. This problem can take a number of forms.

Dashboard is just plain creepy on live CD/DVD

By Lance Kramer | January 16, 2003

On the DVD that accompanies Dashboard Confessional's new live album, "MTV Unplugged v2.0," a small audience sings along with almost every song -- something to be expected by loyal followers at a show like this. But their involvement with the music extends far beyond a casual connection to the music -- they are under its spell. There are times when the camera focuses on audience members who appear to be in a trance.
