When Shakespeare works his tragic magic, he is downright depressing. Yet in O, the modern-day MTV-generation retelling of his play Othello, less emotion and empathy is evoked than is annoyance and disgust at the stupidity of some characters.

If there's nothing sexier than a girl who is angry and horny, imagine two of them: one wields a fiddle, the other a dildo. Of course, that's not all that Bitch and Animal are; these two charming ladies have a great many faces and even more euphemisms for the female anatomy.

Rarely has a film's title been more appropriate than that of the new science-fiction romance Happy Accidents, a wonderfully daring and original film that magically manages to avoid the dreadful fate of most of this genre. Written and directed by Brad Anderson, who saw critical acclaim for his Next Stop, Wonderland and last month's Session 9, Happy Accidents shoots out of left field to take its place alongside last spring's Memento as a persuasive reminder of the creative advantages of independent film. Although veering a little long at nearly two hours, the film doesn't wait long to introduce Ruby Weaver, an idealistic yet increasingly cautious single woman in Manhattan, played winningly by Marisa Tomei in a performance that signals her return to glory after a lengthy post-Oscar drought.

Seldom does a live-music experience begin with a feeling of stodginess in the concert-goer. Brushing past little black-backpack-wearing, social studies-taking fans, I found myself remarking on the good ol' days of '96, when they got big but not big, and were on Caroline records, and look at his new following--I'm sure they don't appreciate the music and lyrics as much as I do, the seasoned fan.
