...makes it clear that the movie's a satire. It's supposed to be a biting mockery of yuppie angst. When Norton starts attending testicular cancer and TB support groups to release his anger and built-up anxiety, we laugh (albeit uncomfortably, but we laugh). When he meets Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), a fellow support group squatter, and they divide group therapy sessions between them, we laugh. But when blood starts flying, Norton starts crying, and buildings start frying, we stop laughing. (It almost reminded me of Showgirls, the way the movie just loses its sense of tone halfway...
...Baby, you close with something they knows!" That was the methodology for choosing encores of the legendary saloon singer Bobby Short. The Kroks could learn something from Bobby. Tonight, they have sung under the shadow of the Boston Statehouse on Beacon Street, in a residence owned by the mayor, and made their way on to one of the glitzier hotels in the area for another concert.

...album as quietly reverent as its title. Lilith Fair veteran Paula Cole tries hard to be a soul sister--according to the liner notes, one song, Suwannee Jo, was "inspired by Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God"; another track features a guest appearance by singer Tionne ("T-Boz") Watkins of the R.-and-B./hip-hop trio TLC. Cole even raps on one track. The main problem, though, is that the music is all too polite. Cole's last CD, This Fire, had moments of wild art-rock invention; here, she is content to relax in the groove...
