...Tony Toni Tone, Sons of Soul (Wing/Mercury). This trio may hail from Southern California, but their homage-packed soul songs prove they left their hearts in Motown. The Tonyies, who are all in their 20s, evoke past greats such as the Jackson Five with vibrant vocals and melodies, but they never settle for mere imitation. Radio is rotten with musical hacks who fake the funk with computer- generated beats, but the Tonyies are a real band, with real instruments, who have succeeded in bringing the art of R.-and-B. songwriting back to the future...
...surely the money couldn’t be good enough to make up for the tedium? Admittedly, her other option is Jason Schwartzman, in the role of Jeremy. Armed with a wardrobe of stained clothing and the shiniest bob to grace screens since the late ’20s, Jeremy is the prototypical Slacker—Doritos and all. He’s got some funny lines and introduces the novel idea of using a sandwich bag in lieu of a condom, but for the most part, you just want to back away slowly in the likelihood he has scabies.All...

In New Aleph Sanctury (1963-71) by German-born Mati Klarwein, painted panels crawling with multicolored figures form a small room that glows like stained glass. Richard Lindner, a genuine product of '20s Germany whose style influenced the animated Beatles film Yellow Submarine (1968), is represented by one oil painting of a striped-jerseyed rock star with a guitar against a sunburst (Rock-Rock, 1966-67). Psychedelia was supposed to induce a trance-like state with or without drugs - try the effect...
...near-nightly footage of suicide attacks in Baghdad. Here the dissection of the phenomenon is a lot more intimate and painful. The first 20 minutes of the film suggests a mundane domestic drama and West Bank life looks crushingly dull. Two buddies, auto mechanics in their early 20s, kill time by drinking tea on a hillside above Nablus, gossiping about girls and whining about their boss. Dishes are washed, children are put to bed; there is not much else to do at night. Then one of the intifadeh's local leaders tells the friends that they've been chosen...
