...secret police. Rumor has it most members are recruited from criminal circles. Frenki's Boys like to dress in black without formal insignia but with a preference for cowboy hats, pigtails and painted faces. In Pec, as in the rest of Kosovo, paramilitary units like Frenki's worked in concert with the VJ and the special-police units, as well as local Serbian civilians who joined in the savagery. All lines led straight back to Belgrade, and this time, unlike in Bosnia, there is no wiggle room for Milosevic to pin the blame for atrocities on "uncontrolled elements" and independent...

Detroit Rock City, set in 1978, is about four guys trying to bluff their way into a KISS concert.

But then, every summer movie tends to resemble every other summer movie. This year, though, movie heroes are less interested...

Coming on the eve of the final Lilith Fair, the all-female concert tour that Sarah McLachlan brought to life two summers ago, her Mirrorball (Arista) marks one of the most exciting and fruitful periods for female singer-songwriters since Laura Nyro and Carole King lit up concert halls in the late '60s and early '70s.
