...closure, as when NBC iced this humanistic cop drama unceremoniously last spring. Pembleton, Detective Tim Bayliss (Kyle Secor) and most of the series' diasporic crew investigate the shooting of Lieut. Al Giardello (Yaphet Kotto), now a mayoral candidate. The case is mostly pro forma, but its powerful yet tender epilogue writes Homicide's epitaph in emotionally satisfying black...
...since Metheny's previous CD, Jim Hall & Pat Metheny (Telarc), released last year, teamed the two friends for a bewitching program of unaccompanied duets. "It encapsulates the love and respect I have for Jim," Metheny says.

A hilarious release from a star of the stand-up circuit. A- --DARYL...
...semi-autobiographical account of director Barry Levinson's (Rainman, Good Morning, Vietnam) childhood in Baltimore, Liberty Heights is the fourth in his series of Baltimore pictures, following Diner, Tin Men and Avalon. Not failing the critical success of those earlier films, Levinson's latest offering is an incredibly tender, poignant and sweet account of a town where everyone is simply trying to figure out what it means to be anything--white, black, Jew, good...
