...early bird catches the worm, and in this case, rising early on a Saturday will yield its own rewards. Tickets for Billy Joel's concert at the Fleet Center on December 3rd go on sale at 10 a.m. Though they'll cost a pretty penny, who wouldn't put their last dollar down to hear a live rendition of "We Didn't Start the Fire" from the Piano Man himself? Call 931-2000 for ticket information...
What might have happened is a fascinating guess. It seems doubtful that even such sturdy characters as Shackleton and his crew could have made a transpolar crossing. The terrain was unknown and unforgiving, no one on board knew much about dogsledding, and the half-trained dogs were sick because worm medicine had been left behind...
Indeed, how many bands can proudly say that marionettes, an accordion, confetti, Planet of the Apes and a glockenspiel are important, if not necessary, parts of their live act? The show started with a frenetic accordion-based rendition of the current single "Dr. Worm," from their new album Severe Tire Damage: Greatest Hits. The accordion was heavily exploited throughout the night, with several instances of polka interludes, and such songs as "Subliminal" benefiting greatly from the unique instrumentation...
Urban Legend does well to follow the success route of Scream and I know What You Did Last Summer by sourcing TV shows for its cast. However, the star quality in this film is still lamentably low.

Mike (Matt Damon) is a gifted, honorable, high-stakes poker player trying to leave the game so he can finish law school. Worm (Edward Norton) is a gifted, dishonorable player given to dealing from the bottom of the deck. The mystery of Rounders is why a smart guy risks repute, not to mention life and limb, to help a dumb and self-destructive one. Still, if Rounders lacks the sardonically twisted plots and people of Dahl's best work (Red Rock West, The Last Seduction), it is, like them, well acted and atmospherically arresting. The director fails to fill this...
