MOVIE REVIEW
Scary Movie
Three words describe this movie: Jesus CHRIST! and AWWW! These were the most uttered words as I watched this movie. The film is hilarious, but it does sometimes feel the need to go over the top, and doesn't hold back. Did I say over the top? Oh, I'm sorry I meant through the fucking stratosphere. The Wayans boys have mixed crude humor,self-parody(Shawn Wayans has a line to the effect of:"TV shows don't make people crazy, CANCELLING TV SHOWS MAKES PEOPLE CRAZY!!!" referring of course to their long gone WB show 'The Wayans Bros.'), biting satire and just plain YUCK gags into a very enjoyable movie. You will laugh, you will cry laughing, and you will wonder how the hell this movie ever got an R-Rating instead of NC-17. Cast includes Shannon Elizabeth from American Pie (YOU know who I'm talking about...) and Carmen Electra doing her best imitation of Drew Barrymore in Scream, only a helluva lot sexier. This Movie loses points, however, for showing WAY too much of the male anatomy and not enough of the female anatomy. FINAL GRADE B-

MUSIC REVIEW
Hot Charlie Penis Politics
Offensive pop-punk is local on this debut album from the Fairfax, VA punk band. The pace is furious, the lyrics are harsh, and the messages are mixed. Ahh, punk. Flatly, I liked the album. The songs are smart, but offensive. Various subjects are touched upon, such as "anti-government" posuers (it's spelled right!!!) who aren't even old enough to vote (Discarded Youth), Full House's Uncle Jesse and how much they admire his "work" (Uncle Jesse, your'e so hot/Uncle Jesse I want your butt!-Have Mercy) and HItler's self-esteem issues (Hitler Destroyed my ILAC). There's also a song about a dude named Rex who likes to masturbate in the woods. If you'd like to make sense of all these ramblings, pick up Hot CHarlie's album. I highly reccomend it as an admirable contribution to any punk rock library. FINAL GRADE B+

MOVIE REVIEW
Gone in Sixty Seconds
Nic Cage + Jerry Bruckheimer x lots of car chases = KICK ASS MOVIE. This holds true in Gone in Sixty Seconds which also stars Robert Duvall, Giovanni Ribisi, and Angelina Jolie. (mmm...:P) The story goes like this: Cage plays a retired car thief who moved away from his lovely Florida hometown so his little brother (Ribisi) wouldn't be roped into the car boosting business. Well that didn't work, and a number of years later, little bro is in hot water with some British bad guy who gave him an order to steal about 50 cars. Well, he fucks up and the cops recapture all the cars he's stolen. From there, it's up to Nic Cage (along with all his retired car thief buddies) to steal all the cars over again in 5 days, including three from the police impound where the original 50 were taken. Otherwise, the limey dude is liable to put a serious hurtin on poor ol' Ribisi. Car chases, fistfights, explosions and a sex scene results, making this a great ride movie. This movie was just plain fun. The only problem was the cheesy tacked on subplots that tried to build up a believeable backstory just didn't work for me. But this did not really hinder the movie at all. a good time. FINAL GRADE A-
MMm...Angelina Jolie...*drool*
