...reason for all the gloom and doom is obvious: Unemployment numbers are rising, planes are falling and the current pop psychology says folks will be thinking more about spending time with friends and family than throwing a lot of money at them. But there's always the chance that the American consumer may be feeling a little more mall-worthy this holiday than everyone thinks...

...Victorian England, with the slums looking cleaner than ever; much remains sanitized until all hell breaks loose. That the brothers are gifted natural filmmakers is evidenced as when the first victim succumbs in a murky alleyway, and all we see is a gleaming silver knife flashing out of the gloom. The shot’s effectiveness lies in the stark contrast between light and dark, inverting a symbol by making a gleaming, bright element an instrument of death.

Junichiro Koizumi is a 59-year-old career foot soldier of the Liberal Democratic Party, which, except for one brief period, has ruled Japan for the past 46 years. But Koizumi has shrewdly positioned himself as an outsider. "If my party tries to destroy my reforms, if they try to stand in my way, I won't hesitate to destroy the party itself," he said repeatedly while he was campaigning for parliamentary candidates this summer...

...alterna-soul singer Ambersunshower, whose keening “You Don’t Want To” takes the riff at the heart of the Eurythmics “Sweet Dreams,” and twists it into something even more sinister, yet never disappears down into his gloom sink of previous albums. Perhaps one of the biggest changes is the arrival of Hawkman, a big voiced raggaman who takes up many of the vocals that might have otherwise fallen to Tricky, and delivers himself brilliantly, particularly on the sneakily beautiful “Diss Never...
