...relate to: funky brass, swirling organ, growling sax, rippling congas, ecstatic vocals - this is not the sound of a national culture struggling to make itself heard over the global noise of pop. Rather, these are artists who 40 years ago itched to be part of it, who dressed like doo-wop boys, played funk, jazz and RnB in Ethiopia's hotel bars and nightclubs and were stars of a scene that, for a while, was known as "Swinging Addis...
...That may change this weekend with the debut of The Love Guru, Myers' first time on screen since 2003. The headlines of early reviews are the sort that give publicists migraines: "Sheer Self-Indulgence," "No Enlightenment, Few Laughs," "Lame Self-Help Romp" and "Guru Is Doo-Doo." About the only encouraging words so far are from Indian and Indian-American journalists, who had been primed to hate the movie from advance reports that its treatment of Hindu and Hindu-esque teacher-preachers - especially of the best-selling, evangelistic, Deepak Chopra variety - would be derisory. Those reviewers are saying, basically, that...
...Zippity Doo Dah" sounds more dreary than cheery as it loops through a distant sound system in the near vacant parking lot of Hong Kong Disneyland's multi-billion-dollar theme park.

The fifth branch of the Happiest Place on Earth has been criticized for being too small and offering too few rides, but the The Walt Disney Company hopes to inject a little fairy dust into the place by adding a hitherto missing ingredient...
...compilation of interviews and performances from Dylan's early years. All these films speak to Scorsese's fervent belief in movies as music. You see this in his studio pictures: in the operatic intensity of the acting and the camerawork and in their use of music, from arias to doo-wop, to underline an emotion. But he's also done a political doc (the 1970 Street Scenes, about antiwar protests), a loving portrait of his parents (Italianamerican, in 1974), a study of a very colorful friend (American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince, 1978), a doc on couturier Giorgio Armani...
...produced anything genuinely original in over a decade. Perhaps these similarities explain why Puddle of Mudd’s new video combines the two genres so cohesively. The story basically goes like this: Wes Scantlin, Mudd’s lead singer, drives down a dark road with several Scooby-Doo-esque characters. After running over Michael Myers from “Halloween” and Leatherface from “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” the group decides it might be a good idea to stay the night at the Bates Motel. They sprint past Kid Rock...
