Off The Record
Diana Krall - The Look of Love

Her latest album shows Diana Krall has confirmed her exceptional status as a jazz singer. Her new CD is polished and clean and was recorded together with the London Symphony Orchestra. Her new ballads and Bossa Novas are sizzling. The title song The Look of Love is a great start leading to her soft piano playing towards the end of Besame Mucho which is captivating. Diana Krall’s voice sounds fuller, richer and softer than before, not to mention she is very easy on the eyes. This 5th outing for Ms. Krall has allowed her to slightly step away from the piano and express a different side.

At The Movies
Collateral Damage

This rescheduled film (it was pegged to open last fall) tells the story of family man and fire-fighter Gordon Brewer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who is plunged into the complex and dangerous world of international terrorism after he loses his wife and child in a bombing credited to Claudio The Wolf Perrini. Frustrated with the official investigation and haunted by the thought that the man responsible for murdering his family might never be brought to justice, Brewer takes matters into his own hands and tracks his quarry ultimately to Colombia. A sure hit, with the need to see the bad guys brought to justice in this day and age.

On Video
The Curse Of The Jade Scorpion

This film is one of Woody Allen's better recent outings. Set in the 1940s, a time when men were men and women were not supposed to be men, the film is a combination noir detective mystery and homage to a bygone era, laced with a wonderful jazz soundtrack. Someone is stealing millions in jewels from New York City's upper crust and the only man who can crack the case is completely clueless. Allen stars as CW Briggs, a top insurance investigator who goes up against his company's new efficiency expert (a thoroughly modern Helen Hunt). The pair hate each other instantly which, as is typical of films of the era, means they'll fall in love. But there's other problems too. She's having an affair with the company head, a wily hypnotist puts CW under his control, a rich nymphomaniac gets in the way, and all clues point to the jewel robberies being an inside job. And guess who gets fingered?
