True to its name, Echo carries Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers back from the quiet brooding of their She's the One soundtrack to the territory they cover best, both lyrically and stylistically: independence, defiance, rebellious love. Strange themes for a bunch of middle-aged industry veterans, but satisfyingly appropriate when you consider their enduring drive to crank out solid '60s-era rock 'n roll when their closest contemporaries have gone adult contemporary. "Free Girl Now," is a pounding emancipatory salute that, along with the similarly triumphant "Swingin'," and "Room At The Top" showcases the band's "screw 'em" mentality...
...listen to soundtracks. I think they reek of commercial manipulation, leftovers and Celine Dion. But just like Go is the first movie I've seen twice since Showgirls, the soundtrack is the first of its kind in my collection of cassettes. (I don't listen to CDs. They reek of commerical manipulation...
...Also, if you are going to any parties (which I don't do, because they reek…), bring along BT's "Believer," a song which puts the "rave" back in "techno." And of course, no hip soundtrack is allowed on the shelves without a fresh new number from Fatboy Slim, in this case not-even-the-best-on-his-album "Gangster Tripping."

The Go soundtrack don't impress me much, but is nonetheless fun stuff. Like...
...play rapidly establishes a tone of high emotion which is sustained throughout the whole of the production. The actors are aided in this by effective, movie soundtrack-like music at crucial points. The slight distancing effect of the music is countered by the characters' frequent exhortations to the audience, made especially effective in a small theater like the Loeb Ex. As the play heads towards its catastrophic ending, and Creon receives a come-uppance beyond his wildest nightmares, there is a brief moment in which the General (David Modigliani '02) reflects on the horrors of the Civil War. He describes...
...Sunday night movie of the week, with one important exception: it's good. Based on the New York Times best seller/Oprah Winfrey Book of the Month, this is exactly the type of movie skeptics love to criticize. With its metaphorical title and periodic, less than subtle outbursts into sappy soundtrack land, The Deep End of the Ocean could easily have degenerated into a cliched and shamelessly melodramatic style a la Stepmom. But director Ulu Grosbard thankfully manages to avoid melodrama in most (though not all) scenes. This, along with excellent performances by Michelle Pfeiffer and Jonathan Jackson, convert the Deep...
