...with grenade rigged nerf footballs. Denied any of the war's action, these four soldiers enthusiastically seek their last chance to blow things up, now that the war is officially over. Russell goes out of his way to emphasize that his heroes are reserve soldiers; they read like a random cross sampling of American life. Chief (Ice Cube) is described as "on a paid four-month vacation" from his job as a baggage handler at the Detroit Airport. Conrad Vig (Spike Jonze), is a boyish, impetuous redneck, and Troy Barlow (an impish Mark Wahlberg), a new father, is his best...
What do mail order junkies, balding men with obscure sexual fantasies, and red-lipped, black-eyed, gothic teens all have in common? No, you did not see them featured on Jerry Springer's most random episode, but chances are, if you live in the quaint little town of Mumford, you may have caught them spilling their guts in the office to the oh-so-popular psychologist Dr. Mumford. Yes, that's Dr. Mumford living in Mumford. And if you have eight dollars and two hours to waste, I invite you to indulge in several other, much more ridiculous, aspects...

The only word that sufficiently describes the plot of Mumford, and I'll I say it three times, is random, random, random...
...story-line peters along very slowly, chock full of pointless little twists of plot, until about an hour into the movie when, once again, a very random five minutes reveal several disturbing little aspects of the past of our hero, Dr. Mumford. It's a welcome surprise--in doing so, Kasdan finally provides the film with some conflict and direction. (At the same time, these five minutes also show that the overly drawn-out first half of the movie could have been condensed into ten minutes...
...major indie rock forces of the '90s. Originally written off as a left-leaning Neu! clone with lounge inclinations, the band has consistently managed to reinvent itself. Its latest, Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night, ranks with their best work, 1993's Transient Random-Noise Burst with Announcements. On this trip out, Chicago-based producers John McEntire and Jim O'Rourke provide Stereolab with a rich, layered sound, leaving behind the cold Cologne sound of 1997's Dots and Loops. Cobra and Phases Groups is the band's longest album, clocking in over 75 minutes...
