...raps, which are lightning-fast, stoic and nearly incomprehensible. While none of this really breaks with the dogma of traditional hip-hop, Aesop Rock’s real brilliance lies in the way he makes the most of his decidedly average personality. Portraying himself frankly as a typical urban dweller addicted to music and television, he creates a compelling character out of mediocrity and the everyday. With imaginative songs such as “No Regrets,” an allegorical fairy tale in which Aesop reflects upon the repetitive, unspectacular life he leads, Labor Days is a creative apex...
With a growing fleet of Honda Civics and trendy Volkswagen Jettas, Beetles, Golfs and Passat Wagons (perfect fit for the futon), this is a company with high hopes of meeting the transportation needs of every urban dweller by supplementing the subway and bus systems. The rental group plans to expand its operations to New York City in the near future and eventually create its vision of utopia: cities with few privately owned vehicles...
...last August was almost too horrible to contemplate. "We have your sister," they said. "She stinks. Pay $5,000 if you want her back in one piece."

Scared and desperate, she went to the police. They refused to help...

"The scarlet tanager," she quickly replied, whereupon the artist sketched a Sibley original of the forest dweller on her notepad. Miranda has seen only one scarlet tanager in her life, but if bird watchers can get their conservation act together, she may see many more...
Genius, so much fiction tells us, is the flip side of madness. In this busy, woozy thriller, a psychotic park dweller known as the Caveman (Samuel L. Jackson) is afflicted with "brain typhoons" and visions of "moth-seraphs." That gives him just the intuition needed to sleuth out a murder case involving a chic photographer (Colm Feore) of the Mapplethorpe stripe. The Caveman has lapses of logic, but fewer than you will find in George Dawes Green's improbable script. Despite Jackson's typically bravura turn, this Valentine massacre marks a step backward for the gifted director...
