6/22
MSRP: $59.99
While the guys who made the solid, if repetitive, Bourne Conspiracy wouldn’t be my first choice to tackle a Transformers game (especially since I still owe someone there a supreme bitch-out for not getting Extreme Ways for the end credits), the last couple of trailers and the demo seem to indicate they could be up to the task. It’s basically Unreal Tournament, with a splash of Call of Duty 4, but with giant robots and Peter Cullen as announcer. Aside from the potential for the online to have an overabundance of snot nosed brats/adults stuck in the 80s whining that some obscure Autobot’s exhaust pipe is in the wrong place, not seeing the downside there.
OOOHHHHH: ON THE DLC TIP
XBox Live, Playstation Network
6/22
Free
In a continuing motif of Red Dead Redemption putting GTA IV to shame, RDR‘s free roaming multiplayer, while not without its prime candidates for the suggestion box (read: multiplayer poker should’ve been a no brainer), is fun, rewarding, and far beyond the amusing but slight afterthought of its spiritual predecessor. Rockstar adding a free mission-based co-op missions with new Achievements and Trophies to boot is just above and beyond the call of duty, and more ammunition to the idea that Game of the Year may very well have been decided early, short of a goddamned miracle. Judging from this years underwhelming E3, that miracle’s likely not coming. Without controller waggle, anyway.

I wonder how much furry/Final Fantasy VII slashfic exists about Miley Cyrus in the black wings from that Can’t Be Tamed video? Rule 34 being what it is, and all.
Wait….I don’t want to know.
Wait. Let me rephrase that: I don’t care.
MUSIC
Section by Jeb D.
RECOVERY
Eminem
From Relapse to Recovery, with help along the way from DJ Khalil, Rihanna, Lil Wayne, and Pink, among others. Much-anticipated, likely to smash a few sales records, and given that, props to Mr Mathers for finding time, amid the wholsale rummaging through the attics of everyone from Ozzy to UNKLE and slagging off of pop stars and gay folk, to be fairly upfront about dissatisfaction with himself. Plenty of pop stars bemoan the toughness of “life at the top;” on tracks like “Going Through Changes” Eminen’s occasionally willing to point the finger at himself. Hope for the boy yet.
SCREAM
Ozzy Osbourne
Odd that the most remarkable thing about Ozzy’s new album isn’t the fact that the hard-livin’ SOB is even still making records, but the dramatic replacement of longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde with ex-Dream Evil axeman Gus G. Granted, in Ozzy’s brand of metal, concepts like change or progress aren’t necessarily desiderata, but if you split with a guy who had such an impact on some of your most successful work, it’s nice to replace him with someone who brings a little extra something the party, with a sound that’s a bit bigger, bolder, and less busy. Ozzy? Yeah, he’s here. He sings about people screaming and dying. Crucifixion ensues.
HOW I GOT OVER
The Roots
Hobnobbing with Fallon may not have blunted the band’s musical sensibilities, but it’s certainly not hurting the celeb guest factor, with contributions from Monsters of Folk (on a new version of “Dear God,” here called “Dear God 2.0”), John Legend, Joanna Newsom, and a bunch more. Legend weighs in on a reworking of his “Again,” as well as “The Fire” (from their Winter Olympics performance), and I’m frankly curious to hear his upcoming Roots-produced covers album. Till then, have some socially conscious hip-hop: it’s like rhythm fiber: good for you, and keeps the groove flowing.
MOSES ON A SNAIL
Robert Pollard
OK, I’ll admit I haven’t heard it yet. But it needs to be featured here for two reasons: 1. It’s Robert Pollard; half as clever as he thinks he is, but even that would make him twice as interesting as most of his lo-fi contemporaries. 2. That is one great album cover.
Other Noteworthy 6/21-22 Music Releases
Cyndi Lauper, Memphis Blues. For the first half of the album, you adjust to Lauper playing it more or less straight, with support from people like Allan Toussaint and Charlie Musselwhite, and if things aren’t very exciting, the listening is pleasant. Then she teams up with Ann Peebles, and you remember what real blues singers sound like.
The Chemical Brothers, Further. The usual spellbinding trance and psychedelica, and when these guys write about a horse, they darn well feature one on the vocal track.
The Derek Trucks Band, Roadsongs. That life on the road, it’ll kill ya. But before ya go, how ’bout one more round of “Key To The Highway.”
The Constellations, Southern Gothic. Kind of an “on the nose” title for an album that’s wallowing in the mythology of down and outness in Atlanta. And if you’re going to come off as Tom Waits lite, covering “Step Right Up” isn’t a great idea.
Front Line Assembly, Improvised. Electronic. Device. Angry. Grrrr.
Marc Almond, Variete. Says here that this is “both a dramatic celebration in song of the thwarted glamour of the fag-end of the show business of yesteryear and a brave and revealing body of autobiographical songs.” Uh huh. And I wonder how many of his fans know exactly what “fag-end” means.
Jason Moran, Ten. Probably the album I’m most looking forward to hearing this week: anyone who can write a song around Hendrix’ feedback is the kind of thinker jazz needs more of.
Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Before Today. “Butt-house Blondies,” eh?
Vanden Plas, Seraphic Clockwork. What I find most amusing about bands that litter their catalog with titles like “The Sound of Blood” or “The Final Murder” is that musicians, as a group, are about the least scary or violent people I’ve ever known.
THE WEEK OF JUNE 22nd 2010
GROUP EDITED by: TROY ANDERSON
GREEN ZONE
Director: Paul Greengrass
Universal
CLICK HERE TO BUY IT AT AMAZON!
Special Features
Green Zone proves that Paul Greengrass is Alan J. Pakula with a dose of epilepsy. It almost seems like Greengrass is the only director working in American film that gives a shit about the political thriller. For the old bastards that remember the 1970s, don’t you remember when every other film was about some government conspiracy to fuck over a plucky young hero? Hell, all we’ve had in terms of political thriller in recent memory was Eagle Eye. Shia doesn’t cut the same tense drama as a Damon, a Beatty or a Henry Thomas. I’d still recommend Green Zone to those of us that like to see Damon move outside of Bourne mold and into the dramatic areas in which he flourishes.
SHE’S OUT OF MY LEAGUE
Director: Jim Field Smith
CLICK HERE TO BUY IT AT AMAZON!
Special Features
• Deleted/Extended Scenes
• Featurette
• Blooper Reel
She’s Out of My League was one of those many March releases that seemed to develop a following. Much like How to Train Your Dragon, I was left bewildered by America’s fascination with Jay Baruchel. He stumbles through scenes, never develops his character and just seems to exist. He’s like Seth Rogen, minus the attempt to play dramatic in Funny People. The film works well with its cast of comedic support and the lovely Alice Eve. But, it never comes together. You have a lot of laughs and some usual mainstream pandering, but there’s a hint of something truly great under the surface. It’s a great rental, but I’d kick you in the junk for buying it.
A STAR IS BORN
d. George Cukor
CLICK HERE TO BUY IT AT AMAZON!
- Alternate filmings of four musical numbers and one dramatic sequence, most new to this release
- Hollywood premiere telecast and newsreel, exhibitor reel plus expanded post-premiere party footage
- Audio-only bonuses: Original recording session music and vintage radio show
- Trailers of all three A Star Is Born versions and much more
A Star is Born was a revelation on Blu-Ray. I know that it’s not fashionable to show favor to a Judy Garland film on CHUD, but it’s been amazingly restored with DTS-HD audio and a clear 1080p transfer. If that’s not enough, you get James Mason in iconic drunken stupor. If I believed in a caucasian deity that spent his days judging me and my actions, I hope that the aforementioned deity would be James Mason. As you watch this nearly three hour film, you will watch as Garland does her schtick well. Sure, she’s got the baggage of being a gay icon…but, she can act and perform like few others. For the collectors out there, WB released this to Blu-Ray in one of those book-bound cases. If you’re like me, you’re probably OCD to the level of crippling depression. Fill that hole in your life with this material possession.
REMEMBER MECLICK HERE TO BUY IT AT AMAZON!
Special Features
- The Making of Remember Me
- Audio Commentary w/ Director Allen Coulter
- Audio Commentary w/Cast including Robert Pattinson
Remember Me is
terrible in a mindblowing way. It’s like Allen Coulter wanted to take the worst elements of Ordinary People and then tried to CW them into something not meant to be seen on Earth. What’s more fucked up is that he got the hot girl from Lost, James Bond and Martha Plimpton to sign on for the project. There’s so much talent trying to make something of this love story that you almost want it to succeed. But, when it descends into melodramatic bullshit circa 2001…it becomes epic. When you can go so far off the scales that your pile of shit becomes gold, you’ve done something magical. You’re daring to approach the lands of Wood, Pyun and Warren. I’d recommend picking this up. Everyone needs to see the new standard of a bad romance.

Underwhelming E3? What expo did you go to? Nintendo fucking murdered everyone there. In the best possible way.
LOL @ "A Star is Born, d. The Hughes Brothers". Now that is a movie I would pay full price for!
No Danzig?
