Fake ID

Fake ID Review

This hilarious parody about coming to terms with one's heterosexuality opens with best friends David and Eric leaving their small town in Kansas after graduating from high school. The two move in with David's aunt in cosmopolitan Louisville, Kentucky, where they spend their days earning their keep by landscaping Aunt Collette's yard, and their evenings acting in an all male community theater production of, The Importance Of Singing Earnest David, finds himself struggling with accepting that all his new friends are gay; his strife is further complicated when Eric comes out by admitting his crush on the costume designer, Brenton. Suddenly, David is caught in a circle where heterosexuality is not the norm, and is further confused by complications experienced with the show's stage manager and his female love interest, Lauren. Coupled with a freakish homoerotic nightmare, David decides that he too must be gay. Fake ID is a whirl-about movie of non-stop fun where one can learn that it¹s okay to be straight.

American in Paris

American in Paris Review

A winner of six Oscars including Best Picture, An American in Paris (1951) was Vincente Minnelli's love letter to the City of Lights and to the music of George Gershwin. Gene Kelly plays Jerry Mulligan, a former American GI trying to make a living in France as an artist after the war. He's taken on by an American patron of the arts (Nina Foch) who has other intentions, but he falls in love with a local girl (Leslie Caron in her debut) who happens to be the intended of a Parisian cabaret performer (Georges Guetary). The music of George and Ira Gershwin sparkles throughout the film, including Kelly and Guetary's ironic duet "'S Wonderful," Kelly's simple ballad "Love Is Here to Stay," Guetary's flamboyant "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise," and Kelly's tour-de-force "I Got Rhythm" dance with a bunch of kids. Oscar Levant plays his usual acerbic self as Jerry's friend and pianist, and performs the final movement of the Concerto in F--accompanied by an orchestra of himselves. The movie famously concludes with a 17-minute fantasy ballet set to the tone poem the movie is named after. While its scope and placement might seem a little odd to viewers decades later, it's an elaborate showcase of Kelly's dancing and choreography (he received an honorary Oscar that year for it), and started a trend that would be followed by similar numbers in Singin' in the Rain and Oklahoma! --David Horiuchi

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Review

Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) stars as Billy, A.K.A. Dr. Horrible, a budding super-villain whose plans for world domination continually go awry.  His two goals: getting accepted into the Evil League of Evil, and working up the guts to speak to his laundromat crush Penny, played by Felicia Day (The Guild).   The only thing standing in his way is Captain Hammer, Billy's superhero arch-nemesis played by Nathan Fillion (Firefly).  With one big score, Billy could get into the E.L.E. and earn the respect of Penny, but only if he can keep her away from the dashing Captain Hammer...

Learn to Play Blues Guitar With a Flatpick DVD 2

Learn to Play Blues Guitar With a Flatpick DVD 2 Review

Following the success of his first Blues With a Flatpick DVD, Adam Traum has created a user-friendly, pick-style lesson in the blues that will teach you licks, scales, bass runs, chord shapes, turnarounds and progressions in a variety of keys and blues genres. Starting with a straight-eight Jimmy Reed rhythm in E, Adam methodically adds bass run turnarounds, riffs, bends and chicken-pickin effects, building a full, funky arrangement. Along the way, he provides the blues scales, chord shapes and positions up the neck to enable you to start improvising solos. Adam shows you an old-timey country blues tune in A and a rag/blues in C, then winds up the lesson with a laid-back but musically rich exploration of a Stormy Monday/T-Bone Walker -style slow blues in G, full of sliding, jazz-like R&B chords and soulful fills. Adam s clear and patient expanations, along with interactive play-along sections, will make this lesson an exciting learning experience for aspiring blues players at all levels.
