Welcome to Bollywood
It's an anomaly to those who have no idea. To those who do, it is Bollywood, the Hollywood of Bombay, the movie industry of India.
In Your Face
What's unique at Francis Jerome? "Everything," Michele Batta, owner, and Sean Kaplan, makeup artist, chorus in unison.
Red Hot
What is it like to be a Canadian in the music industry? I don't know. I don't really think of it.
From the Editor
I have never been to jail. Nor am I planning on visiting one of these fine institutions anytime in the near future.
Dodge This
If you think two Matrix films in the span of six months is enough to sate your sci-fi appetite, think again.
Spider Man
All of this will be old news to the movie buffs among us. Cronenberg is revered in cinemaniac circles as a god of the disturbing and bizarre.
Freak Yourself
From the looks of Joe Allen's long hair and clever smile, it feels like you've entered his dimly lit shop, Armed and Dangerous, to sell your soul.
Film: School Daze
Could you each talk about your own school days? Vaughn: I went to a university called life, and our school colors were black and blue.
Interview: Burn, Baby, Burn
Street had the opportunity to chat with Burning Brides frontman Dimitri Coats on the eve of the band's first night opening for Audioslave.
Music: I'm coming up
Late one Friday evening in the basement of Harnwell House, members of the New Spirit of Penn Gospel Choir (NSP) warm up their voices with the stirring traditional "Wade in the Water." They fill the Rathskeller basement with sound, but this is no ordinary rehearsal.
Gaming: Animal Crossing
There's this new wave of "real-time" games out there: games like Everquest, where people do nothing all day but walk around a real-time fantasy world interacting with other people, probably because in real life, they have real trouble interacting with people.
Puppet Government
Three days before the Republican National Convention nominated George W. Bush for president, Philadelphia police raided the headquarters of the Spiral Q Puppet Theater, at 13th and Sansom.
Culture: Tango de la Muerte
Before you tango, you must learn to walk. Often misunderstood, tango is more about the caminada, or basic walking step, than clenching a thorny rose between your teeth. Friday night milongas, or dance parties, transform the second floor of the University City Arts League into an informal, but spirited ballroom.
Culture: A gramme for a weekend
When most of us think of dancing, we think of either annoying, politically-correct student groups or embarrassing, flailing motions at campus bars.
Film: You can count on Linney
Laura Linney stars as Constance Hallaway in The Life of David Gale. She has had starring roles in You Can Count on Me, Primal Fear and The Truman Show. Last month, Street sat down with Linney to talk about her new film and her career. Why did you choose this film? Well, the script was magnificent... and there was so much in it -- which is what attracted me to it.
Body Building God's Way
It's the first meeting of church fitness group Body Building God's Way, and God is working against them.
Interview: Dead Man Walking
When The Life of David Gale comes out on DVD, the back of the box will probably read something like this: "Academy Award
Music: All eyes on the Ally
There's the old saying, "the more things change the more they stay the same." Most of the time old adages are little more than the outdated banter of porch-sitting grandmas, but this adage held true when The Ally took the Rotunda stage as part of a recent run of shows marking an end to their six-month touring hiatus. Things are different this time around; in the past the Ally sound revolved around the unique inclusion of the electric violin of Jon "Kimbo" Kim.
Voice: Wacko Jacko
Ah, Michael Jackson: once the King of Pop, now a tired joke who looks barely human and has no problem admitting that he sleeps with little kids.
