...whole scene from Silence of the Lambs—a travesty to the latter—and its constant barrage of overused redneck and gay jokes hardly exudes any originality. Besides Walken’s performance, the only other saving grace is the film’s excellent soundtrack, buoyed by great classic rock tunes from bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bob Seger...

...Enter Colin Powell. (Cue the spaghetti-western soundtrack, if you will, because Powell's was a performance worthy of Clint Eastwood.) In contrast to his boss's uncertainty, the secretary of state projected infinite cool: unhurried, unfazed, unblinking and even, occasionally, appearing to enjoy himself, as he took charge of choreographing the diplomatic dance necessary to pull Washington's and Beijing's chestnuts out of the fire...

...Liotta gives a performance of grace as Fred Jung, George’s father, a man who doesn’t necessarily approve of his son’s choice of careers but understands.

Sounding at times like the soundtrack to a car commercial, “Naive Song” nevertheless manages to successfully fuse electronic sensibilities with a more conventional pop motif. Unfortunately, it’s all downhill from here, and though Mirwais manages a precious few more coruscations before the album is over, it isn?...

...original music. In this track, Run DMC enters with the same majestic brass sounds and propagandistic speech they created in their prime. While the incessant preaching of their success is stereotypical of rappers of this age, Run DMC’s claims are true, and the almost soundtrack-like music actually mirrors their success. The majority of the other songs on this album sound like music from the respective guest stars. In “Them Girls,” Run DMC is overshadowed by the instrumentation and rapping of Fred Durst. In fact, Run DMC raps for less than...
