White ChicksDVD Review
Grade: F
There are really only two words to describe "White Chicks": sick and degrading. After viewing the trailer, one might think it possible that "White Chicks" has some potential. The trailer, however, was much better than the actual film, which had no genuine premise or plot in the first place.…

Elliot Smith "From the Basement on a Hill"Album Review
Grade: B

FlashbackJoe Jackson "Look Sharp" (1979)
Like fellow Englishman Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson combined the best of the new wave and punk worlds of rock, offering the public well-played and catchy songs without sacrificing any attitude in the process.
If Bob Dylan's 1974 album "Blood on the Tracks" is the classic introspective breakup record, Jackson's 1979 debut, "Look Sharp," is its immature evil twin.…
