...audience, Rex’s role in the movie does not figure prominently. “Sex Drive” follows this theme throughout—getting the peripherals right, but lacking central content. The audience will probably walk away with the memory of minor details, like the soundtrack, which fits perfectly with a number of scenes in the movie. The way Instant Messenger graphics pop up like a thought bubble next to Ian while he’s online is clever. Seth Green is great as the random Amish car enthusiast, and Fall Out Boy makes a surprise appearance...

...free indirect style. The same technique also allows the fiction reader to inhabit a young girl’s confusion in Henry James’s novel “What Maisie Knew.” The juxtaposition is a touch precious—just a sappy soundtrack away from a literary criticism Hallmark moment—but it plays into Wood’s theory of fiction.If, as Wood suggests, fiction is a space between mimicry and invention, a “house,” then its creation depends on the writer’s ability to construct...

...pervasiveness of digital change. Perhaps the most arresting installation is “Lossless #3,” a highly pixilated and compressed version of John Ford’s classic Western “The Searchers.” The film contains neither plot nor dialogue, and the soundtrack mostly consists of eerie pitches that echo throughout the entire gallery.

...authenticity, using a widely acknowledged sellout on your album is not the best way to go. “Lookin’ Fly” has just enough posturing and repetition to make it danceable. Still, nothing on the album holds a candle to his breakout Madden NFL 2008 soundtrack hit, “Dreadlocks.”Eighth track “Sooo Comfortable” attempts to be a laid-back sort of stoner jam, and mostly succeeds. But MURS does not actually use drugs, despite his natty Rasta dreads, and is unconvincing as a guy tooling around...

...quote a friend, “Those nuns got mad ’sploited.”) These uncomfortable encounters included shaky camerawork as the handheld camcorder filming the scene zoomed in and out unexpectedly. But the highlight of each scene was the music: an amazing and hilariously malapropos soundtrack that sounded something like a Clapton-fronted Mariachi band.There is, however, more to the experience of watching “Les Demons” than simply what appears on the screen and rumbles through the speakers. Jesus Franco, the movie’s prolific director, has a reputation for being...
