The Girl With the Dragon TattooFans of Stieg Larsson’s Men Who Hate Women may have been concerned about how the Swedish author’s novel would translate to the screen, but they needn’t have worried. Significant changes to the source material have been made, but director Niels Arden Opley’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, as it’s now called, is mostly riveting. As the story begins, middle-aged inves…

The long-delayed first solo release from Wu-Tang Clan’s Masta Killa (legendary for recording his contributions to “Da Mystery of Chessboxin’” on Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) while in jail) features guest raps and beats by most of the Clan’s main members. Unlike a lot of albums where the guy whose name is on the cover sounds like a guest on his own album (paging P. Diddy), this is strictly Masta Killa’s party. His aggressive but nimble flow is all over each of these songs, with the guest raps by the rest of the crew — including Raekwon, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Method Man, and Ghostface — limited to a verse or even just a couple lines at a time. The settings, mostly by the usual Wu-Tang Clan production team of the RZA, True Master, and Mathematics, are mostly utilitarian, keeping the focus on the words, but a couple of inspired samples stand out, particularly the use of the creepy strings from OutKast’s “Skrew It On the Bar-B,” speeded up slightly to give them an otherworldly atmosphere, on the title track and the brilliant use of the instantly familiar bassline from Quincy Jones’ “The Streetbeater” (the Sanford and Son theme) as the basis of “Old Man.” In production and supposedly “almost finished” for literally years, No Said Date is worth the wait. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi
A welcome throwback to the cop dramas of the ’70s, City by the Sea is an average film improved by its cast.

Living in exile in Paris after eluding a controversial charge of statutory rape in America, director Roman Polanski seemed professionally adrift during the 1980s, making only one film (the ill-fated Pirates) between 1979 and 1988. Then Polanski found inspiration–and a major star in Harrison Ford–to make Frantic, a thriller that played directly into Polanski’s gift for creating an atmosphere of m…

Pronounced Black Jacks, BLK JKS’ first EP Mystery is a quick-paced, dub-heavy indie blast that mirrors the indie/Afro-pop chic of Vampire Weekend and adds the rambling psychedelia of Animal Collective. That’s not to say that they’re easily categorized, or even really comparable to any other bands out there, which is a big reason for the media buzz surrounding them. EPs rarely generate this much hype, but besides simply being the right sounding band at the right time, and having a cool Bad Brains look, they deserve the spotlight they’re gaining on Secretly Canadian for their musicianship alone. As a four-song outing that runs just under 20 minutes, listening to the tracks on Mystery is more of an experience than one might expect. The first three songs, “Lakeside,” “Mystery,” and “Summertime,” are incredibly tightly wound syncopations that revolve around the choppy, near-symbiotic rhythmic interaction between childhood friends Molefi Makananise (bass) and Tshepang Ramoba (drums.) Squirrelly guitar runs and chorus-flavored chords chopped by Mpumi Mcata meet wrap-around vocal lines by Lindani Buthelezi to accent the beats. These nebulous jams contain enough circular structure and memorable melodies to make them captivating dance-think pieces. “It’s in Every Thing You’ll See” changes gear and takes the heat off the rhythm section with a guitar and vocal space rock voyage that highlights the bubbling sonic trickery of Secret Machines’ Brandon Curtis behind the boards. Mystery may not last long, but it’s a strong introduction to a band with unlimited potential. ~ Jason Lymangrover, Rovi
Start today to transform your dreams into wonderful reality. . . . Simon Potter was a "ragpicker" and salvager of human lives. When this wise and humble man departed from life, he left author Og Mandino a precious legacy: the distilled wisdom of his unique collection of the greatest books about self-motivation and success–books he called "hand of God" books because they seemed to have been written with God’s hand guiding the author’s own. In this tender and inspiring book, Og shares with his millions of readers his old friend’s bequest. It is nothing less than a blueprint for success, telling us in plain language exactly what we must do to mount the seven rungs of life’s ladder–from material achievement and worldly success to the highest spiritual development. Whatever your most cherished dream may be, Og and his good angel Simon will show you the way to bring it within reach. From the Paperback edition.
David Wilcox writes in the liner notes of Into the Mystery that he feels as though his first ten albums were practice and now he’s really cooking. Perhaps the subtitle of the disc could have been “How David Got His Groove Back,” because he certainly did, not that it was ever lost, necessarily. Into the Mystery is a gloriously lovely and straightforward collection of compositions and performances, each supporting the other to attain its simple yet somehow lofty aim of being easy on the ears. For the most part, this is the kind of disc you can put on while shuffling around the house on a quiet weekend morning. Only “Apple a Day” and “Ask for More” break the laid-back vibe. Wilcox co-wrote a few of the tunes, teaming with fellow troubadours Pierce Pettis and Maia Sharp, who are both thoughtfully talented in their own rights. No, there’s nothing inherently earth-shattering about anything heard within these 13 tracks. Nonetheless, it is at least partially earth-shattering that an artist can still achieve (and set) such high standards after so many recordings. ~ Kelly McCartney, Rovi Performers: Nance Pettit – Vocals (Background); Paul Patterson – Mandolin, Violin; Phil Keaggy – Vocals (Background); David Wilcox – Vocals, Guitar; Josh Seurkamp – Loops, Drums, Bass, Percussion; Ric Hordinski – Lap Steel Guitar, Loops, Guitar (12 String), Guitar (Electric), Percussion, Bass; Rick Hordinski – Lap Steel Guitar, Loops, Sound Effects, Guitar (Bass), Guitar (12 String), Percussion, Guitar (Electric)
The fourth edition of Return to Forever was a band that emphasized the screaming wah-wah guitar of Al Di Meola and every electric keyboard Chick Corea could get his hands on to play furiously fast runs. Where the initial, airy Flora Purim/Airto/Joe Farrell edition gave way to the second undocumented group featuring Earl Klugh, and the third band with electric guitarist Bill Connors, this RTF was resplendently and unapologetically indulgent, ripping through riffs and charted, rehearsed melodies, and polyrhythms like a circular saw through a thin tree branch. Their immediacy and visceral power is why rock audiences were drawn to them, impressed by their speed-demon vagaries as much as their concern for musicality. Thank goodness No Mystery had more than its share of toned-down acoustic moments, as well as the powerhouse fighter jet stance that most of their fans craved. It’s not nearly as balanced as the previous album Where Have I Known You Before?, but expounds on those themes — inspired by Neville not Harry Potter — in a more progressive though louder manner. The bold, dancing, and funky “Dayride” in a higher octave and vocal-type keyboard range perfectly identifies the group sound in a scant three-plus minutes. The two-part, 14-minute “Celebration Suite” gives you a larger view of the classical Bartok/Chopin influence of Corea, and the dramatic medieval or regal stance they alchemized with so many keyboard sounds. It’s pseudo-funky, Spanish in a 6/8 rhythm, wailing with Di Meola leaping forth in true guitar hero form, with some group-oriented perfunctory subtleties and complex lines. The title track is the jewel, an acoustic romp through fields of flowers with Lenny White on marimba buoyed by a beautiful, lilting, memorable melody and shifting loud and soft dynamics — a classic in the repertoire and a fan favorite. The tromping beat of “Jungle Waterfall” supersedes Stanley Clarke’s lithe lines, while noise keyboards dominate the silly “Sofistifunk.” Corea’s acoustic piano is featured on the chordal, grandiose solo “Excerpt from the First Movement of Heavy Metal,” and in duet with Clarke. the improvised “Interplay” shows a more spontaneous rather than rehearsed side of these brilliant musicians. Over time, No Mystery yields mixed results, where initially they were viscerally driven and ultimately impressive. The next phase of the group, as indicated by this recording, would take them into even more technologically dominated music. ~ Michael G. Nastos, Rovi
Tommy Emmanuel has earned a reputation in his native Australia as a master guitarist who dabbles in many different musical styles. Utilizing a number of acoustic and electric instruments, sometimes overdubbed on a single track, it is easy to appreciate his formidable technique, though his original compositions don’t leave much of a lasting impression. Virtuosity for its own sake can grow tiresome, much like excessive multi-tracking, so Emmanuel is best appreciated when he is holding back just a little, as in “Lewis & Clark” and the touching ballad “Footprints.” The one vocal track features Emmanuel sharing duties with Elizabeth Watkins, sounding like the contemporary country made popular on music video channels. This is a pleasant, well-engineered CD, with obvious comparisons in spots to the late Nashville guitar master Chet Atkins. ~ Ken Dryden, Rovi Performers: Pamela Rose – Vocal Harmony, Harmony Vocals; Elizabeth Watkins – Vocals
