What would you do for a million dollars? How about 2 million? The ensemble comedic cast in Jerry Zucker's Rat Race doesn't have to answer that question until they are randomly picked by eccentric millionaire and owner of the Venetian casino in Las Vegas, Donald Sinclair, to be the contestants in a rat race, first one to a random gold rush town in New Mexico wins 2 million dollars.
Alma de Cuba's fa‡ade is painted a pale yellow, its name is displayed as nonchalantly as possible next to the imposing white door. Stepping through the threshold takes the diner into a completely unexpected interior. Red light strips across the ceiling and ultra modern tables and chairs make this place so Stephen Starr--but in a good way.
Walking into the Four Seasons to meet with Jerry Zucker I am a little intimidated. This is a man who has had a hand in some of my all-time favorite films, Ghost, Airplane, My Best Friends Wedding--just to name a few. The room they have prepared for our interview doesn't help matters. It makes me want to enjoy a six course meal with some champagne rather than turn on my tape recorder and begin an interview, but my intimidation slowly fades when Zucker says "I feel like we should be preparing a treaty," as he starts in on the loose nuts they have put on the table for us. "You don't mind?" he asks, not all I reply grabbing a few myself.
They've been called the post-grunge, post-alternative, post-modern phenomenom, but being post-everything has to make them the forerunner of something--Weezer just isn't exactly sure what that something is yet.
Bob Pollard isn't mainstream, and neither is the music of Guided by Voices (GBV) for that matter, but something about the band's recent song "Glad Girls" has caught the ears of the populace.
Travel agencies are already putting together glossy brochures luring tourists to the sandy white beaches of Cuba. One small problem with that -- a little man with a mustache named Fidel Castro.
The latest census survey shows their numbers have more than doubled in the past ten years, Consumer Reports marks them as one of the largest minorities to target market and their media influence is on an exponential growth spurt. The gay community is entering the media mainstream and they are doing so in force.
The Godfather it isn't, but when Brando and DeNiro team up, something has to go right.
Bastille Day is the Fourth of July flipped upside down and painted an odd shade of chartreuse. Dating back a little over two centuries, this odd holiday celebrates the storming of the Bastille, a French prison, in 1789 marking the start of the French Revolution.
True to their anthem, Reel Big Fish have yet to "Sell Out." At least until now. Their latest record is supposedly taking a stab at some of the bubble gum pop kind of radio friendly kiddie music that often defines the term sell-out. Still unfinished, who knows what course the album will take.
Unable to see the writing on the wall, it seems like Stereo MC's are no longer connected--their scene came and went nearly a decade ago with their 1992 dance hit, "Connected."
For a long time now, Street has wanted to find a story with grit. We wanted something meaty, something our readers could sink their teeth into, walking away with a broader view of the world we live in.
Carter Cornell has been murdered, and its a good thing too because listening to his less than wiley machinations for any longer would have made for a very boring play.
Who will you root for? Neither after seeing this disgrace. The cats and dogs can duke it out until they are all one big furry mess it won't change the fact that this movie blows.
The simaltaneous opening of Fresh Grocer and the Penn students' discovery of the kitchen has left a void in the lives of many college students: the ability to cook.
Under the stars and into souls of great musicians, twilight descends to the steady rhythm of a finely tuned bass. Great scientists say that the universe fluctuates to the pulse of existence, but the naked eye will never see it as clearly as it did Sunday evening as the Mellon Blues Festival closed out its festivities with Jazz Under the Stars at the Fels Planetarium.
The boundary between Thai Williams' North West D.C. neighborhood is thicker than cracked pavement of O Street. It is a line of demarcation between white and black, right and wrong, light and dark. All it takes is one night, a memory of his girl in another man's arms and a gun that appears from nowhere to turn Thai's entire world inside out and force him to cross the line from light to dark.
Similarity to its old city counterparts is Novelty's only flaw. The food is divine, the d‚cor beautiful, the service, occasionally obsequious, but pleasant nonetheless. Unfortunately this is the description of nearly every new restaurant that borders the Old City Streets, creating a satisfying dining experience, but nothing terribly innovative or exciting.
Words are easily misconstrued in modern culture. Remove these sometime obstacles from a production and an entirely new medium is allowed to emerge from the original text. The result is ballet. A production wholly governed by the body and its movement, ballet provides the emotional response that verse often lacks.
