Needless to say, a big, strong detective comes on the scene to protect our heroine. The interplay--the flirting, fucking, and fighting--between Emma and Detective John Hallstrom (Aidan "Ole Blue Eyes" Quinn) is so hackneyed that you begin to feel embarrassed for the actors. The embarrassment grows during the required epiphanal sex scene. Against a background of Muzak, we are treated to close-ups of the big blue vein in the side of Madeleine Stowe's boob and the long hair on Aidan Quinn's chest. Director Apted has no sense of tasteful nudity. Or relevant nudity, for that...
...Nikki Chapman's Rastro! is noisier than either other band. It's fair to say (and it's not a diss on Helium) that Christina Billotte's melodic sense must have been the dominant one in deciding what Autoclave tunes would sound like. The multi-layered Autoclave textures, the interplay produced by having 3 (or 4?) songwriters with different tastes, are just as missing from Slant 6 as they are from Helium and Rastro! But the riffs on Soda Pop Rip Off(especially in the second-to-last number, the sparkling "Blue Angel") could pass of Autoclave riffs, and have...
...considerable charm of the show lies not in the half-baked reiteration of wider European themes and styles, but in its uniquely Danish elements.

The lively interplay between light and shadow, clear sky and clouds, and buildings and vegetation lends the work an engaging dynamic element. The works of Vilhelm Hammershoi are the jewel in Loeb's crown. At first glance, his interiors appear simple a serene; close inspection reveals a sparse and tense atmosphere. Hammershoi relentlessly emphasizes doors, windowframes, skirting...
...government is asked to grant tax-exempt status to the First Church of Interactive Rock -- let's pause and ask what it means for the music market. Even there the predictions are rosy. "We may be a little bit ahead of the curve," says Brian Fargo, the president of Interplay Productions, whose MacPlay software division distributes Gabriel's Xplora 1. "But I think this will be a brand-new market segment that didn't even exist before. It's no longer a question of whether this format will take off but when. I'd say within a year...
...Narrative of Mary Rowlandson as an ancestor to Hannah's tryst with the natives. It works, then, when Mukherjee suggests that Nathanial Hawthorne was influenced by Hannah's tale in his writing of The Scarlet Letter. Nothing seems lifted or cheap. Indeed, Mukherjee pays homage tastefully and respectfully. The interplay of literary history works well with Mukherjee's serious historical approach...
