Visually Dazzling, Fascinatingly Strange!
Visually dazzling, fascinatingly strange, oddly sweet and laugh-out-loud funny, "Kung Fu Hustle" is truly something special. How special? This Hong Kong chop-sockey comedy features amazing special effects; cartoonishly frantic fight scenes; a dance number performed by tuxedoed gang members wielding hand axes; a pair of blind musician-assassins who magically conjure up flying swords and skull-faced demons; the most abusively loud landlady in history; a toad-man master killer; a mute and sweetly adorable ice-cream vendor; an all-powerful butt-kicking savior from the skies...and more! Director/producer/writer Stephen Chow stars as Sing, a lovable-loser con artist pretending to represent the murderously evil Axe Gang. After his attempted shakedown of Pig Sty Alley goes hilariously wrong, he tries to join for real. One of his first assignments is to spring the fastest and most dangerously lethal martial-arts master alive from prison, which leads to some positively epic fists-of-fury faceoffs. If you're thinking that "Kung Fu Hustle" sounds like cold Quentin Tarantino camp, think again. This isn't some soulless, post-modern pastiche, full of forced irony and lamebrained pop-culture references designed to make girlfriendless nerds chuckle in mirthless appreciation. "Kung Fu Hustle" is more like a weird cross between screwball slapstick comedy and surrealistic anime fantasy, with affectionate nods along the way to Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The Matrix." Who says homages can't have heart? Highly recommended!

Stripped-Down Songs Reveal Hidden Treasures
The idea that every song on this CD consists of Claudia Brucken accompanied by Andrew Poppy playing only a single instrument (guitar or keyboards) might put you off. Don't be alarmed. The result is an excellent album that offers stripped down but fascinating new takes on songs by artists from Elvis Costello to Frank Black. Their version of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" manages to be both understated and yet operatic, with more of an emotional wallop than even the original. This CD is hard to find cheap -- you're not likely to win it with a penny bid, in other words -- but I can't imagine any fan of former ZTT label mates Brucken and Poppy being disappointed. Five stars!

"Me and You..." Is Best Movie of 2005
This debut feature by writer/director/star Miranda July is easily the best movie of 2005. It is funny, sweet and sometimes strange, but always thoroughly and endearingly human. "Me and You and Everyone We Know" is a sort of a gentler, warmer "Ghost World," full of obvious affection for its unglamorous but wonderful characters. July plays a meek but wholesomely hopeful would-be multimedia artist whose day job is giving cab rides to the elderly. Her neighbors and associates include a shoe salesman adjusting to the breakup of his marriage; a matter-of-fact little girl who is living 20 years in her own future; an old codger who has found the love of his life 50 years too late; a teenager and his kid brother who manage to make cybersex both hilarious and touching; a snobbish museum curator who is beginning to figure out that art can be a con; and two high school girls who are simultaneously amused, appalled and empowered by their pubescence. What's most impressive is that every one of these off-kilter characters seems real, and all of their stories are interesting. July has a light, low-key touch as both a writer and director. She avoids predictable comedy beats, hokey dialog and dumb pratfalls. Instead, she finds subtle, sometimes tender humor in small moments. One of the best examples is when July and her would-be boyfriend (John Hawkes) use a simple walk down the street as a metaphor for an entire romantic relationship. Another is when July writes the word "Me" on the toe of one shoe and "You" on the other, then videotapes the shoes silently enacting a courtship ritual. Even the big laughs are offbeat. When an adorably guileless little boy types bizarrely impossible sexual requests to a chat room stranger, part of what makes the scene so sidesplitting is his blank, utterly innocent expression. July the director is equally adept at handling dramatic moments, large and small. Something as simple as the fate of a goldfish left on top of a car in a plastic bag becomes absolutely engrossing. A recently separated father is wordlessly devastated when he finds out that he is not represented in his son's artwork of "everyone." July the actress is resigned but brave as a single woman waiting desperately for her phone to ring, or pleading her case to the museum curator on video. Miranda July's astonishing triple-threat debut is so assured, genuine and original that it makes nearly everything else at the multiplexes look stupid, alien and dishonest. Who could have guessed that a movie so accessible and appealing would come from a woman whose earlier works included a pair of avant-garde, wildly surrealistic performance-art CDs ("10 Million Hours a Mile" and "The Binet-Simon Test") in the late 1990s? As a big fan of those relentlessly weird collections, I was amazed to discover that a truly masterful moviemaker was lurking inside the wildly imaginative freakazoid who once related tales of secret germ-warfare medical experiments, suicide by time travel, a talking submarine and a wigged-out girl in a nudie booth remembering a faceless kid on a tricycle. Talk about containing multitudes! Macaroni!
