...Sixth Sense (1999) was a triumph of O. Henry-suspense and also an essay on the solitude of grief. Unbreakable (2000), a comic-book superhero battle told at an art-film tempo, was nearly as good and had another terrific, weighed-down performance by Willis. Signs (2002) was a letdown on the alien-invasion front, but it had Mel Gibson playing his own form of domestic desolation. The Village (2004), a sort of Amish retelling of Shirley Jackson's The Lottery, was the first of his films to test - and break - the viewer's patience. And The Lady...

Although the Crimson had a strong effort in the first half, the tempo of the second was quite different. “I think we need to work on our fundamentals,” Pais said. “We just need to be able to perform when we are a little bit tired.” Dartmouth quickly scored two goals to start...
...lead single “Couleurs” composes “Youth’s” center, transforming from a faintly sinister automatic groove to a wild, desperate, heavily percussive jungle of beats, synthesizers, and rhythm guitar. “Kim & Jessie,” a mid-tempo dance/rock fusion that struts on synth beats, dense keyboards, and distorted guitar riffs, should have opened the album. Instead, “You, Appearing,” a mildly interesting sound experiment constructed over an uninspired piano loop, acts as its overlong prefix, beginning the record without...
