...tunes from the further reaches of the great American songbook. On ballads, Bey's voice can have a humanizing tightness, a vulnerability that draws a listener in. But when the tempo quickens he can really belt it out: the New York Times aptly dubbed him a "hard-bop foghorn...
...through computer graphics, and Tatopoulos' creature shop was twice the size of Jurassic Park's. But Godzilla isn't his old self: gone, for example, are his trademark maple-leaf dorsal spines, now a forest of thorns.

Electoral politicking can get so cartoonish that the making of political-cartoon movies might seem redundant. But Cartoongate (Kino International Video), an hour-long melange of short film parodies compiled by animator Greg Ford, proves that the men who want your vote have long been a source for ripe, mean...
