...more sense in the hands of Mike Myers' fellow Canadians than in Lenny Kravitz's. Even the '90s pieces have a retro groove: the Propellerheads' "Crash!" fairly smacks of a-go-go. Once again straddling the decades is Madonna's '60s-tinged "Beautiful Stranger", in the form of a none-too-inspiring remix by Vic Calderone. A surprisingly listenable, coherent album from the "More music from..." genre of soundtracks...

...permeates his work. While it was minimized in the wake of Maxinquaye, it makes an unhappy rebound on Juxtapose and was prominently on display in his inter-song patter and several of the newer songs, including "She Said" and "I Like the Girls." The audience at Avalon, however, paid none of these any attention. Undoubtedly, this is partly because Tricky is a terrible enunciator: in the wall of sound created by the band, nearly all the words were lost...

...sublime garble of ideas, the film's pleasures are unlike the pleasures of almost any other marquee picture ever produced. This is a true screwball comedy in the classic sense, in which none of the characters are "straight men," and everyone is insane in their own, inimitably comic way. Here, unlike, say, Bringing up Baby or Flirting with Disaster, the world itself is insane and unstable, as if God himself were just another kook. It's like a wrestling match with the walls erased, and the rules unknown - you'd better watch your seat, because you might be sitting inside...

...None of this would be possible, of course, without the remarkable cast of Simpatico. Shepard's play presents the aftermath of a 15-year-old case of blackmail, showing how both the blackmailers and the blackmailed must struggle to shape for themselves normal, fulfilling lives. At the center of the play is Carter, the mastermind of the nefarious scheme, played with passion and subtlety by David Modigliani '02. Carter is the only character to have profited from the blackmail scandal, but Modigliani is wise enough to show that his success and power are as much mental creations as they...

Breakfast of Champions is none of these books. The movie was doomed from the beginning. This ill-conceived, ill-fated and horrendously-executed adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s cult classic novel of the same name follows the fleeting sanity of Dwayne Hoover (Bruce Willis), the owner of a used-car dealership and the most popular guy in Midland City. The film also follows Kilgore Trout (Albert Finney), a slightly kooky science-fiction writer on his way to Midland City to attend the town's Fine Arts Festival as the guest of honor. When the divergent paths of these...
