KMFDM – Beat by Beat – Review

October 1, 1997

Everything is seamlessly edited together with plenty of jump cuts. KMFDM fans will still be fans, although Blackman enthusiasts will have to look elsewhere.

Graffic Traffic – Column

October 1, 1997

I get so sick of reading what is likely to be another in the 99-in-a-hundred super-hero comics suck pile, that I just gotta try a different flavor.

Liquor Lecture – Column

October 1, 1997

Sometimes it all becomes too refined. Don’t you want to have a cheap, shitty, gutter brew? Don’t you want to relish the pain it takes to swallow Popov vodka?

Garth Brooks – Live in Central Park – Review

October 1, 1997

Snot – Live at The Middle East Cafe – Review

The guy had a better body than I’d seen on any lead singer in a while, the letters “INSECURE” tattooed across his stomach. Oooh, boy.

Contact – Review

October 1, 1997

When all is said and done, Contact isn’t about aliens; it’s about faith, a neo-new age treatise on religion.

Writer/director James Mangold obviously didn’t want to take any chances, so not only is Stallone’s Freddy Heflin, the sheriff of a small New Jersey town populated by crooked New York cops, a badge-wearing slug, but he’s also deaf in one ear.

Spawn – Review

October 1, 1997

The best thing about the movie is John Leguizamo as the Clown/Violator. As he carts around 20-30 lbs. of foam-rubber costume, crouched over to look about five feet tall and wide, and making it look natural, he gets to spew the best one-liners of the movie.
