Off The Record...

Garbage

Version 2.0

A band that is based in the college town of Madison, Wis., delivers the type of music reminiscent of Swingin' London where the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and all the other cool people were. The album is chock full of pure pleasing pop songs, each so seamless that you enjoy the ride from beginning to end. Look for the songs Push It and Special to propel this sophomore release up the charts.

At The Movies...

Godzilla

Nuclear testing causes the return of the most legendary thunder lizard (no, not Gene Simmons), only this time the big beast has an unexpected surprise, eggs, lots of 'em, and the creature that crushed Tokyo is laying those eggs in Madison Square Garden.  With the tag line Size Does Matter, this film delivers with massive special effect and action sequences. A surefire hit, the King of Monsters is back, ready to take a big bite out of the box office.

As Good As It Gets

An eccentric, anal-retentive romance novelist discovers love and a new respect for other human beings when his carefully ordered life is jolted by events beyond his control. First he's forced into caring for his gay neighbor's dog, then he becomes involved with a waitress/single mother and her asthmatic young son. Academy Awards for Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson. A great, warm, loving film, kind of like the way they used to make them.
