May 24, 2001 Movies The Corruptor by James Foley (Review) Chow Yun-Fat aside, the rest of the movie seems too unfocused, unexplained, and uninspired to be enjoyable.
May 24, 2001 Movies A Simple Plan by Sam Raimi (Review) An “intelligent” film from the guy who brought you Evil Dead 2.
May 24, 2001 Movies Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels by Guy Ritchie (Review) Why can’t more movies like this be made?

Apr 26, 2001 Music L.P. by Mothership (Review) Randy Rose is definitely trying for some edgy, dark sound with this record, but never really reaches it.
Apr 16, 2001 Music The Magnificent Void by Steve Roach (Review) This is a soundtrack for outer space, with all of its wonders and terrors.
