090313_shuttle_list

Review: Shuttle

Chillingly visceral
If you ignore the forgivable imprecision that rides with directoral debuts, Edward Anderson has made a surprisingly mature thriller.
By: JASON O'BRYAN  |  March 11, 2009

090313_march_lits

Review: Miss March

The boys directed and co-scripted, so there's no one else to blame.
Miss March gives us one of cinema's more annoying innocent-plus-crazy-id-best-friend pairings.

090313_phoebe_list

Review: Phoebe in Wonderland

An awkward yet rewarding wonderment
No, not every movie with a precocious, infectiously cute young girl has to star Dakota Fanning — there's also her sister Elle.

Interview: Ken Casey of Dropkick Murphys

Shipping up to Lansdowne Street again
"I think I would have thrown a little more venom behind the lyrics [of The Meanest of Times ] if I'd known it was gonna get this bad."

Puzzle Quest: Galactrix

Puzzle Quest drifts off course once more
It's appropriate that the new Puzzle Quest game should take place in space. Just like a black hole, it's impossible to resist; you wind up crushed into a subatomic particle.

090313_littell_list

Review: The Kindly Ones

Inside the Reich
Those put off by the soft-pedaling of the SS in the movie adaptation of Bernhard Schlink's The Reader might be wary of Jonathan Littell's memoir of fictional war criminal Maximilien Aue.

090313_witch_lits

Review: Race to Witch Mountain

The film is no E.T. , though it does boast self-interested government agents as the baddies.
In Andy Fickman's blow-up of Alexander Key's book there's no venerable elder thespian, like Eddie Arnold or Bette Davis, rounding out his or her career.

090313_U2_list

U2 | No Line On the Horizon

Interscope (2009)
You don't need me to tell you whether the songs on the new U2 album reflect the social, political, economic, and religious turmoil that seems it's been defining global affairs since before we can remember.

090313_Hecker_list

Tim Hecker | An Imaginary Country

Kranky (2009)
With his sixth album, Tim Hecker continues his computer-enabled investigations into the ambient music of nebulous distortion.

090313_Keelay_list

Keelay & Zaire | Ridin' High

MM (2009)
Keelay and Zaire's tracks bounce lovelier than Joe Budden's girlfriend on that trampoline.
By: CHRIS FARAONE  |  March 10, 2009

090313_Maerz_list

Marion Maerz | Burt Bacharach Songbook

Bureau B (2009)
Marion was a minor German pop star in the 1960s, one of a crowd of yé-yé girls who sprang up all over Europe as the ingénue counterparts to macho belters.

090313_Blake_List

Ran Blake | Driftwoods

Tompkins Square (2009)
You probably don't think about an acoustic jazz pianist's use of the sustain pedal except when you're listening to Ran Blake.
By: JON GARELICK  |  March 10, 2009

090313_Growlers2_list

The Swaggerin' Growlers | Keep Your Head Held High

Thugly Goose (2009)
The Growlers reckon their music is best heard while you're shit-faced.

090306_watchmen_list

Review: Watchmen

As a reimagining of the past, Watchmen is at times jaw-dropping.
When Watchmen concentrates on violence, it comes alive. When it meanders into metaphysics, which it does frequently and at length, it loses its way.

090306_Jackson_List

Action Jackson

Screaming down the Highway, over the limit
Locally, Loverless, This Way, and now Highway Jackson are forging a bit of a rock renaissance in Portland.

Branding our outdoor tourism

Love letters to Maine
Eventually, the folks at Maine Huts and Trails, a non-profit that operates in western Maine, hope to establish a 180-mile trail system between the Mahoosuc Range and Moosehead Lake.

090306_alan_list

Interview: Alan Moore, author of Watchmen

From the Boston Phoenix archives: the watchmaker speaks.
The winner of several "Best Comics Writer" awards on both sides of the Atlantic, he's best known in America as the author of the DC Comics series Swamp Thing and, of course, Watchmen.

090306_watchmen_list

Big pictures

From the Phoenix archives: All things are Watchmen
Watchmen is that too rare work of popular entertainment, one that succeeds on many levels and that rewards your attention to every level it employs.
