...license. They love speed for its own sake, blowing fusillades of notes that show dazzling enthusiasm but no sense of judgment. Leading his own septet on his fine new album Misterios (Warner Bros.), Wallace Roney proves an exception to the rule. His amber tone and patient, considered phrasing echo the mature works of Miles Davis...
...Echo Park section of Los Angeles, it's hard for a man to survive. And it's almost harder for a woman to survive when her man is gunned down, sent to jail or on the lam from his responsibilities. From this sorority of the damned, writer-director Allison Anders (Gas Food Lodging) highlights four young women in the episodic Mi Vida Loca/My Crazy Life.

Deborah Dean rubs her arms for warmth and shakes her head. The gunshots still echo; the memory of panicked footsteps raises the hair on her arms. "Deborah, call an ambulance!" her nephew had cried. And then she saw her husband standing over the body of her daughter Shavon, 14. "My 12-year-old had to call the ambulance. I just collapsed."

Like Bonnie & Clyde, Badlands and a zillion tortured teen movies of the '50s, NBK creates two doomed maniacs busy mythologizing themselves. "We got the road to hell in front of us," Mickey tells his bride, and he's not lying. These kids get their kicks on Route 666; when they go traveling, the devil thumbs a ride...
