brothers evolve in 'From Hell'
By
Ernie Hatfield
The Hughes brothers’ latest film, From Hell, is a gory suspense
thriller portraying the events surrounding the infamous Jack the Ripper
and his killing spree that terrorized the streets of 1888 London. While
their films traditionally deal with urban street violence (Menace II
Society, Dead Presidents), this departure highlights many of their unique
filmmaking techniques, showing their versatility and ability to adapt
their gritty urban style to a totally different time and setting.
Country's
George Jones brings trademark twang to 'The Rock'
By
David Irvine
One of the more vocal critics of the pop-country movement that has emerged
over the past decade has been George Jones. The veteran country crooner
has been quick to voice his concerns about the increasing tendency of
country radio and CMT to play music designed simply to fit into the
mainstream. Additionally, he often points to the fact that older artists
such as himself, who have remained true to traditional country music,
are now passed over in favor of younger, prettier stars, who are simply
performing formulaic pop songs meant to make a quick dollar for their
respective record company.
