...better than their execution. Fingaz, of rap group Onyx, is authentic and intense as the bad boy, but the brothers' Goofus-and-Gallant dichotomy needs to be less, well, black-and-white, and the supporting players are bland. Platinum is influenced by rap video (lots of slo-mo and bling bling), maybe too much--it trusts our attention spans so little that it repeats flashes of scenes that ran minutes before.

Usually ranging from around $10 to $20, the getups are at least a little cheaper than dressing up Billy as Spider-man, although you may pay more later should Rex require deworming after gob-bling a dodgy pumpkin.

It's great for taking snapshots and pix for the Web, but if you want...
Talking to Z-Trip and Grandwizzard Theodore backstage after the show, the cool and bling-bling to be expected from these kings of hip hop was very much in evidence. More impressive though was their sincere and genuine appreciation of the fans. Their palpable excitement for touring together and scratching for their fans was more than endearing; it exerted a gravitational pull on whoever was near them. They dismissed all airs of superiority and celebrity, mingling with ease, even though, as he joked repeatedly, Z-Trip is in the new “cool” issue of Rolling Stone...
