Fortunately, the Ants’ stage show does a decent job of keeping the audience distracted from the limited range and stunted quality of the actual songs. Singer Mitchell is the perfect spokesman for Geek Metal, looking to all the world like a nerd who played air guitar in grade school and somehow sprang to life under the lights. When he sings, he sways hunched-shouldered at the front of the stage like a child with a heavy backpack, letting words push their way forth from his poor twisted mouth.

...moguls; Drew McWeeny thinks they?ve lost the dewy magic of moviemania. "So many critics these days are cynical," he says. "They?ve seen so much they?ve burned out on their love of films." Ain?t-it-cool regulars know McWeeny (itself a fabulous moniker for an internet geek) as Moriarty, the insider who has written nearly 300 reviews of movies and movie scripts...
