Military Gig: In Iraq with Young Bands Booked To Play For Troops
 | Watch a video New York band Edison made on their trip to Iraq: Ethan Isaac returned from his first tour in Iraq in 2005. The twenty-nine-year-old, from Madison, Wisconsin, traveled to far-flung posts in Balad, Tikrit and Ramadi, and faced enemy fire almost every day. Last year, he left for a second deployment, this time to Afghanistan. Isaac isn't a soldier. He's the frontman for New York hard-rock band Edison, who were recruited by the military to play for American troops stationed in some... |

Once
 | Starring: Glen Hansard, Mark�ta Irglová, Alaistair Foley, Geoff Minogue Review: Summer brings out the Bigfoot in Hollywood with blockbusters at the ready to stomp out any movie that values simplicity and sincere emotion. Well, don't let summer squash Once, the Irish musical from writer-director John Carney that struck a lyrical chord at Sundance earlier this year. Cut through the Spidey-Shrek hype and seek it out. You won't be sorry. It's a magical, beguiling wonder. When I say Irish musical, think U2, not Riverdance, and get set for a gift of a movie that is absolutely worth seeing more than once. The Frames frontman Glen Hansard stars as a Dublin songwriter who takes his guitar to the streets and sings himself hoarse to deaf ears. That is, until he meets a pretty Czech pianist (Marketa Irglova) who gives him the guts to quit his dad's repair shop and start finding... Rating: 3 Stars |

There?s nothing like seeing Rie Rasmussen, a Danish model and actress, in a little black dress, towering heels and stems that go on for miles to distract you from all that?s wrong with this movie and, for that matter, the world. But critical duty calls. And writer-director Luc Besson, who had my vote for films as diverse as The Fifth Element, The Professional and ? speaking of legs ?

Knocked Up
 | Starring: Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Katherine Heigl, Jason Segel Review: If you want to hate on Judd Apatow's Knocked Up -- and the anti-crowd-pleaser contingent will surely ding it -- then get ready to be drowned out by the sound of laughter from the rest of us. I'll admit there's something sitcom-trite about the setup. Idiot-boy Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) knocks up gorgeous Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) on a drunken first date and forges a truce with his lifelong enemy: maturity. Talk about buzz kill. But Apatow, as he proved with his 2005 directing debut, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and the sharp wit of his TV work on Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared, transcends the usual multiplex traps (Delta Farce, anyone?) by anchoring what's funny to what's real. Knocked Up runs for 132 minutes -- way long for a laffer -- but there's a reason that Apatow is the new king of... Rating: 3 Stars |

Crazy Love
 | Starring: Burt Pugach, Linda Pugach Review: For those who don't believe that truth trumps fiction for whacked-out depravity, mark this shockingly fierce and funny spellbinder as Exhibit A. Director Dan Klores, who heads one of the largest public relations firms in the country, lets rip with a tale of erotic obsession so schizoid that it's impervious to spin. It could only be a documentary. Back in the 1950s, hotshot New York attorney Burt Pugach was a negligence specialist in his thirties who was struck by lightning in the form of Linda Riss, a naive Bronx beauty whom Burt took on a whirl of Manhattan high life. Linda knew nothing of Burt's wife and disabled daughter. When the truth snuck out, Linda moved on. That's when Burt hired goons who disfigured her with lye and left her nearly blind. After fourteen years in prison, Burt was ... Rating: 3 Stars |

Fast Food Nation

But when it works, it's a brilliant expos� of the horrors of industrialized food in America. The undeniably gross message is delivered by Bruce Willis, who explains that "there's always been a little shit in the meat." And by saving the slaughterhouse crucible for last, the filmmakers ensure the squeamish won't leave before a character must sort the kidney out of a cow's guts. Rating: 3 Stars |

Blood Diamond

Archer goes on the search for a priceless stone with an escaped miner (Djimon Hounsou) who only wants to find his missing son.

Volver

Penelope Cruz shines as the heroine confronted with an abusive husband, the madness of a patricidal daughter , the death of a senile aunt, and the return of Cruz' mother from the "grave." But Almodovar leavens all this drama with his own quirky humor. Hate chick flicks? Volver will change your mind. Rating: 3 Stars |

It's a ride, but not quite what you expect. This tale of a futuristic dystopia is the anti-Blade Runner. The focus isn't in the action up front, it's there in the background where the film's themes take root. Cuaron, filling every frame with his passion and intellect, takes on a 1992 novel by P.D.

Megadeth - United Abominations
 | Artist: Megadeth Review: Metallica have mostly exchanged thrashy riff metal for ballad-filled reflection rock, but one-time guitarist Dave Mustaine still likes his metal fast, brutal and apocalyptic. The cover of Megadeth's eleventh album depicts the United Nations under fiery siege and the lyrics throughout describe a bloody near-future of ethnic cleansing, terrorism and chaos. You could attribute the darkness to the troubled times we're in, but -- like the double-time guitar licks and endless noodling solos -- United... Rating: 3 Stars |

DJ Khaled - We the Best
 | Artist: DJ Khaled Review: This Miami DJ is a top player on the hip-hop mix-tape circuit, and his second proper LP plays like a big-budget version of something you could buy on Canal Street: There's nothing particularly innovative about Khaled's cinematic synth beats, but with huge names like T.I., Young Jeezy and Akon turning in decent cameos, tracks like the menacing banger "Hit Them Up" and Jeezy feature "Brown Paper Bag" are big, dumb pleasures, just begging to blast from your SUV.

Kelly Willis - Translated From Love
 | Artist: Kelly Willis Review: Once Willis' big, intent voice and impeccable simplicity made her a textbook country shoulda-been. But with four kids and a decade of marriage to fellow shoulda-been Bruce Robison in the bank, her good taste tethers her to the old homestead on her first album since 2002, taking off only once: on an unlikely cover of Iggy Pop's "Success," brought to her by producer Chuck Prophet and arranged for a ghost version of the Sir Douglas Quintet.

The Aggrolites - Reggae Hit L.A.
 | Artist: The Aggrolites Review: This L.A. band does ska and reggae rather expertly -- and without the boneheaded, party-hearty schlock that infested the Cali version of those genres in the Nineties. The Aggrolites' third album is long on well-crafted summertime jams like "Free Time" and more tender songs like "Let's Pack Our Bags." That said, Reggae Hit L.A. feels like a ho-hum rehash -- well done, but not particularly interesting unless you're seeing them live, are a big fan of the genre or need some barbecue music.

Perry Farrell's Satellite Party - Ultra Payloaded
 | Artist: Perry Farrell's Satellite Party Review: On Satellite Party's debut, Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell cranks out a load of quirky electro-rock, with help from Flea, Joy Division bassist Peter Hook and U.K. beatmakers Hybrid, among other guests. Cuts like "Insanity Rains" are weird and hook-laden, but most of Ultra Payload feels pretty random -- just a talented ringleader and friends indulging their inner weirdos to no great effect.

Poison - Poison'd!
 | Artist: Poison Review: Nearly two decades after their heyday, these peroxide L.A. gods still sound good, and these megabright, glam covers of classic songs -- Sweet, Bowie, Stones and, er, Loggins and Messina -- make sense given Poison's debauched history. But do you really need to own a hair-metal version of Jim Croce's "You Don't Mess Around with Jim"? Rating: 2.5 Stars |

28 Weeks Later
 | Starring: Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, Harold Perrineau, Catherine McCormack,... Review: 28 Weeks Later is the rarest thing you?re going to find at the movies this summer: a sequel that doesn?t suck. In fact, this explosive, nerve-frying followup to Danny Boyle?s much-admired 2002 hit 28 Days Later is a dynamite zombiefest all on its own. Taking over for Boyle as director and co-writer is Spain?s Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, who scored big in the horror lottery with Intacto. He picks up where Boyle left off, showing a few survivors seeking shelter in a farmhouse from a zombie plague that damn near depopulated England. When the attacks start again, Don (Robert Carlyle, he of the mad Trainspotting glint) ) scrams out the window leaving his wife (Catherine McCormack) to serve as a cannibal snack. Fresnadillo ups the gore quotient and shows a penchant for showoff editing and strobe... Rating: 3 Stars |
