...unknowns, lead singer and guitarist Butch Walker, bassist Jayce Fincher, and drummer Slug, strolled on stage with their leather jackets and tight black pants to be met by the blank stares of the many attending that had never heard of Marvelous3. Nonetheless, they opened with a blast of pop energy with "You're So Yesterday." A few fans immediately bounced to the rollicking sound and cheery vocals, but most were skeptical at best. But this skepticism soon faded away, as the crowd became mesmerized and invigorated by Marvelous3's crazy stage antics and contagious energy...
Although drummer Slug flooded the club with adrenaline-filled beats and Fincher's bass remained integral to every song throughout the set, their role was minimal compared to the unavoidable, enthralling and unique stage personality of Walker. At first, Walker just appears to be a very strange and eccentric rock star, but it soon becomes apparent that his twisted, emotional facial expressions are part of his wonderfully energetic stage performance. The crowd went quiet when he started whimpering a sad story about walking in on his mother with a gun in his hand. He then hilariously broke the silence with...
With the infectious pop of "Every Monday," the crowd was bumping and jumping into one another, as sweat-drenched Walker, Fincher and Slug continued to thrash and prance around the stage. Before one of the last songs, in one of the only serious, sincere moments of the concert, Walker told about the rigorous, endless, draining work filled with shady bars, rickety old vans and cheap motels that Marvelous3 endured just to hear one of their songs on the radio.

Album is fueled almost exclusively by Walker, whose guitars and vocals are upfront and in-your-face on almost every track. Drummer Slug does little more than keep time for Walker, and Fincher's bass remains subdued throughout most of the album. Although Marvelous3 is power pop, they layer their music at points with vocal distortion, background sampling, an excellent Moog solo and creative piano arrangement. In addition, effective overlapping of Walker's omnipresent vocals disguises the thin ideas behind his most lyrics...
Perhaps the individual who most comes out on top in 8MM is road-weary director Joel Schumacher, who puts together his most focused and polished directing job in years, dating back to a time before he started doing ponderous John Grisham adaptations and over-glitzy Batman flicks. As David Fincher did with Seven, Schumacher drenches his film with atmospheric feeling, turning darkness into its own entity. He is able to make the most simple of scenes, such as walking through an airport, appear ominous, and he uses the steady hum of the eight millimeter projector to create a sense...
