CINEMA

 » Dig! The Movie - ARCHIVED: Peter Lindblad sits down with the captivating documentary of the history between the Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre, a relationship that can only be described as bizarre. As a bonus, we've added a link to stream the entire film, for free.

CINEMA

 » The Dark Knight - Is director Christopher Nolan the Dark Knight of twenty-first century cinema? Perhaps, but even if not there is no denying that Heath Ledger's swan song makes LAS cinema critic Susan Howson want to cry. Yeah, it is THAT real!
[07.23.2008 by Susan Howson]

FESTIVALS

 » Pitchfork 2008 Postview - Despite a roster laden with too many new and little-known (cheaper?) bands, P4KMF2008 was a success. The lineup was diverse, the weather was projectedly spotty, the beer was plentiful, and the crowds were huge. Josh Zanger and Jon Burke report on the action.
