Because Catatonia certainly isn't trying to break new ground. They just want to break onto the scene. The sounds are competent but basic, and, in a reassuring (unchallenging) sort of way, don't go where you have never been before. The guitars crash along like a sandy syrup, and the rhythms are just enough to give me a silly grin to accompany my mindless bouncing. At the end of the album, however, my endorphins know that this could be a pleasant, but will never be a long-lived, relationship...
...actors (voiced by Dan Akroyd, Anne Bancroft, Sylvester Stalone and Jennifer Lopez among others), takes some of the edge off the hackneyed plot, Antz fails to fully engage. If computer animation was begging for something with epic, imperialistic proportions, where the miracle of 3-D animation could be unleashed onto big battle and mob scenes, it got it. Plotwise however, Antz is virtually indistinguishable from the recent Mulan and earlier Aladdin.

...airlines' secretive and sometimes high-handed manner doesn't help. Passengers are routinely herded onto planes and only afterward told they must endure an hourlong air-traffic delay. Big discount fares are advertised widely, but prices seem to slide up and down with little explanation. Nor will the airlines reveal how many discount seats are allocated on flights (the number varies according to demand for the flight, with the goal of maximizing revenue). And the airlines have drained most of the spontaneity from the nation's leisure-time travel, with those money-saving but anxiety-producing "nonrefundable" fares, which require...
