Interview with Bruce Willis & Matthew Perry

·

Each has a genuine mutual respect for the comedic aptitude of the other. Evident in the first movie was Perry's flair for physical humor, which he also brings to the sequel. Some of the sequel is improvised, which requires comedic talent, anticipation and understanding of the other actors.

Film: 'The Whole Ten Yards'

Here is one piece of advice for all filmmakers contemplating making a sequel: If the original movie relied on the characters more than the plot, the sequel will inevitably cave. This proves to be the main problem with "The Whole Ten Yards," starring Matthew Perry and Bruce Willis.

Liz Phair tip-toes around indie rock

Rocker Liz Phair played a sold-out show at the 9:30 club Sunday night to close her recent tour. Phair and her openers, Wheat and Rachael Yamagata, brought in mostly 20-to-30-somethings, but also several teenage girls itching to hear Phair's single "Why Can't I," which has been a mainstay on top-40 radio since last year.

Music: Marwood carves out a niche

Tucked away behind the bar at 9th Street Espresso on Manhattan's lower East Side, you will find Rob Overby: dispenser of coffee, admitted Britney and Christina fan and the lead guitarist for underground New York-based band Marwood.

The Rusty Nail: Saying thanks to SUB

Every now and then, I need to take time off from complaining to give out some well-earned kudos to groups at AU that have made our time here that much better.

Death Cab for Cutie on the rise

For those who haven't heard Seattle-based indie rockers Death Cab for Cutie (DCFC), or lead singer Ben Gibbard's side project The Postal Service yet, - expect to. After they released what many feel is their best album to date, "Transatlanticism," in the fall of 2003 and gaining increasing exposure on tour, it's clear that DCFC is a band on the rise.

The Darkness descends on this side of the pond

The Darkness is rock's filthy underbelly, glistening in the decadence of glib falsettos and the panache of power chords. Pallbearers of the legacy of Queen and AC/DC, these svelte Brits have grabbed American rock by the balls and put swagger back in the charts with a "thing called love."

Film: 'Johnson Family Vacation'

There are two kinds of bad movies. The bad movies that you can laugh at their ridiculousness (flicks like "Gigli," "Bones" and anything starring Ice-T), and the bad movies that are so awful, you can't even make fun of them. "Johnson Family Vacation" falls in the latter category.

Theatre: 'Henry IV: Part II'

"Henry IV: Part II" is the coming-of-age story of Prince Hal and is therefore driven more by character than plot. Perhaps that is why the play can be summed up equally by the patron snoring in the seventh row and the other laughing throughout the play in the sixth row: The dialogue is witty but there is no real action.

Washington Social Club represents the District

Washington, D.C., is one of those lucky cities blessed with a thriving and ever-expanding local music scene. Venues like the Black Cat and the Velvet Lounge offer spaces where local bands can play and develop followings that will hopefully lead them to fame and fortune. Washington Social Club, who played the Black Cat on Friday night with Philadelphia-based band Cordalene and fellow local rockers Army of Me, is such a band.
