...Rape Me? Upbeat TV tunes are the hymns of the young in part because of good memory, in part because of Nick at Night, and very occasionally because of a sound-track album. From Henry Mancini's jazzy music for Peter Gunn through LPs for such '60s hits as Batman and Mission Impossible, TV sound tracks have been largely curiosities. And some have been pretty curious: Who could possibly forget Meet the Brady Bunch, the 1972 record in which the TV step-siblings delivered their version of American...
...track--the so-called compilation score, cobbled-together collections of rock songs (some containing new songs, others merely groups of oldies). They're a smart example of marketing synergy: the movie helps sell the album; the album helps sell the movie. And it's working: the sound tracks for Batman Forever (with a hit single by U2) and Dangerous Minds (with one by rapper Coolio) have been among the summer's best sellers...

Whalley Kilmer is asking for custody of the children...
...Joan Chen--Judge Dredd couldn't have worse timing. For one thing, it surfaces at the end of a 15-year line of dark sci-fi films; imagine Blade Runner inside a Tron video game. For another, the movie tries for the same combination of facetiousness and majesty that Batman Forever mined only two weeks before. Dredd, written by Michael De Luca, William Wisher and Steven de Souza, plays like an instant clone of the Gotham Gothic...
