...phallus without making you hate her. Fogler plays Burke's manager Lane. Lane is plump, sweaty and initially seems so eager to cash in on Burke's burgeoning celebrity that we assume we're watching a young Ari Gold (without Ari's personal trainer). But Fogler, who had a gleeful part as the head of a absurd theater troupe in Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock, conveys a genuine concern for Burke, and we grow fond of him as well. Love never happens in this movie, but at least there's some liking here and there...
...itself with original reporting, some witty asides (a Mitch Albom best seller is slammed as "what Dante would have written had he grown up next door to the Cleavers") and judicious use of examples from American history. With a law professor in the White House, Pierce's thesis and gleeful bashing of the previous Administration ("we have lived through an unprecedented decade of richly empowered hooey") seem a bit dated. But his high-octane ranting and sophisticated prose (he is a contributing writer for Esquire) may well appeal to the already converted...

Through the years, this isolation has made the area popular for dumping the occasional unwanted body. "We have seen remains on the West Side," said Walsh, "They might be ancient bones or those fallen prey to violence. But this is a first for us, in the number of remains...
...ragged grace of jangle pop. Releases like 1989’s “President Yo La Tengo” look ahead to alternative rock and the last major epoch of indie rock, with a balance of shaggy guitar lines and feedback loops screwed against a subdued but gleeful pop framework. The band’s classic trilogy of mid-90s albums, cresting with 1997’s near-perfect “I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One,” paralleled the success of indie cohorts Pavement and Built to Spill, among others. And while...
