...Venice, the bubble popped, and neither star could save The Fountain from a death sentence of boos at both the critics' and the public screenings. The film was dismissed as an expensive waste of time (although another high-IQ sci-fi epic shown at Venice, Alfonso Cuaron's dystopic City of Men, was reported to have cost between $80 million and $150 million). Weisz, who earlier this year received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for The Constant Gardener and became a mother, seemed equally maternal in defense of her new movie. "I think it's wonderful that this film...
...Team Xbox knows about your music collection. If the Xbox 360 is connected to your home network (via Ethernet or a $100 Wi-Fi accessory), you can quickly pull up tracks from PCs around the house. You can also stream photos and videos, although not all formats are supported and the photo browsing, while thorough, lacked the sophistication of the PS3. Team Xbox also knows about your iPod. You plug it directly into the Xbox 360 to play any tracks but the ones you bought on iTunes. If you happen to have a Zune, you may plug that into...

Aronofsky ’91 is not your typical Hollywood Sci-fi thriller. Some will call it heavy-handed and over-the-top, or even out-right bizarre. But, those who become entranced by its completely stunning imagery, mesmerizing original score, and puzzling philosophical overtones will mark it as one of the most memorable films of the year. As Aronofsky’s first film since the 2000 indie classic...
...Pavement's fuzzed-out masterpiece don't stack up to the rounding errors on Nevermind, but its influence on Beck, Blur, Radiohead and countless other musicians of the '90s is incalculable. Lead singer and former Whitney Museum of Art security guard Stephen Malkmus expressed alienation with the same lo-fi guitar grit of Kurt Cobain, but his lyrics and vocals were models of cryptic passion. Somehow his word salads communicated both the ennui of a suburban smart-ass and an awareness that ennui isn't tragic...
