In a heavy accent, he kept......

Horror movies seem to come and go in cycles. Just as the wave of Japanese re-makes tapered off, so-called “torture” porn began its ascent. Given that, it’s refreshing to watch a horror film like The Wizard of Gore that doesn’t fit neatly into any category. It certainly has its share of gore (wonderfully specific and gruesome, by the way), but the bloodletting never overshadows the psychological war that is at the heart of the......

A Word or 56+/-: Even the movie selections suck tonight unless you want to watch an Ida Lupinow filmfest on TCM, which I really don't want to do.

Eight years after releasing 1998's Into the Sun, he's written yet another album which allows you to enter the world of Sean Lennon, not the......

LAist was feeling a little bit of deja vu last night. Mondays at the Spider Club have, in the past six months, become the place to be for young Hollywood scenesters early in the work week. DJ Morty spins 80s dance favorites while the beautiful people gyrate and drink strong cocktails. Apparently, however, what the beautiful people really love is Digital Underground. The last time LAist was in the house, Shock G treated the......
