Perhaps the most familiar and appealing of Topsfield's many attractions is the Midway, a section of the festival devoted to tests of skill and strength. If the soundtrack to Mortal Kombat blaring in the background doesn't inspire you to play your best Whack-A-Mole, perhaps the exciting prospect of winning the enormous Tweety Bird hanging over your head will. Whether it's shooting a water gun into a clown's mouth or maneuvering a mechanical claw over a bounty of stuffed animals, these games are nearly as addicting as they are difficult.

...twisting plot, already enough to leave you feeling as if you've been accosted by a sewer, becomes even more visceral when viewed through Welles' innovative techniques. In fact, the most noticeable (and necessary) change made in the restored version is the elimination of the credits and the overlaid soundtrack from the famous opening shot.

...time when record buyers are abandoning the monotony of alternative rock in favor of the music smorgasbord of movie soundtrack albums, it is perhaps no surprise that the DMB has broken out. For years the band's hard-to-categorize music was scorned by serious rock critics, who considered it overblown frat rock. The group is suddenly being viewed as a legitimate, deserving successor to the great American jam-band tradition of the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers...
