With its snazzy murders and a cooler-than-Ice score (by RZA of Wu-Tang Clan), Ghost Dog runs a serious risk of being its director's first hit. That would be nice, because this is his most compelling film and because it's still profoundly weird, a typical Jar-mush of genre bending and ethnic blending, a grafting of European modernism and Japanese mysticism onto an American gangster movie. Caught in this crossfire of the contemplative and the violent, the viewer is kept as off-guard as most of the killers in the film...
...home a pair of Cybikos. While the device won't be sold until March 20 (online only at www.cybiko.com) I had been dying to test one ever since I saw a photo. Your typical Cybiko looks like a walkie-talkie with a teensy typewriter keyboard cloned onto it, only cooler, since it comes in four translucent colors (if you count clear and black as colors, that is).

...parents are worried when their children are in the care of someone else, but the anxieties mount when the child is in his or her "tweens"--the awkward years between 8 and 14, when almost anyone seems cooler than Mom and Dad. While these kids are old enough to call you mean and overprotective, they're not old enough to grab the car keys. Hence my friend's concern with the stand-ins she didn't know she had appointed: the classmate's more permissive parents...
