Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: "A good party is
not about the food," says Ina Garten, "it's about the people." That may be
true, but her
Barefoot
Contessa Parties!
will ensure that your next party is a fabulous one, regardless of your guest
list. Garten, author of
The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook and a
monthly column in
Martha Stewart Living, has been catering
since 1978. So who better to put together a collection of entertaining theme
parties? She's included everything from drinks and hors d'oeuvres to dessert
and coffee, as well as notes about what "surprises," atmospheres, venues, and
table decorations lend themselves to each. Because she likes to attend her own
parties (and who doesn't?), almost every recipe is make-ahead and remarkably
uncomplicated. Filled with funny party
anecdotes, a bit of Ina Garten history, and clever hints and tips to help
guarantee the success of these recipes,
Barefoot
Contessa Parties!
delivers on every count.

1. 24 Hour Party People [SOUNDTRACK]
Original Release Date: 2002
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Centered around the legendary nightclub the Hacienda, the evolution of Manchester, England's clubbing culture from punk's birth to the exuberant late-'80s, drug-addled "Madchester" scene is documented by 24 Hour Party People. As would be expected from a movie celebrating the rise of beat-oriented bands, the soundtrack reads like a who's who of Manchester's punk, postpunk, and dance acts. The dour, minimalist bass lines and desolation of Joy Division blurred into New Order's rhythmic mix of icy dance-floor desire and sorrow after JD vocalist Ian Curtis's suicide in 1980. Each group has their best songs included, as do Happy Mondays, their hypnotic, party-heavy beats and gospel-tinged revelry sounding fresh even today. While not as mainstream, a cut by gentle soulful noodlers the Durutti Column and serene comedown anthems from acid-house legends 808 State and A Guy Called Gerald are also gems. Even better, the two new New Order songs--an apocalyptic take on JD's "New Dawn Fades" with Moby on vocals, and the ultra-clubby Technique-flavored "Here to Stay"--fit in seamlessly. It's likely that fans of these bands already possess most songs included, but Party People is the ultimate snapshot of these eras, a mix tape of artifacts worth revisiting, or experiencing for the first time.
2. Nude on the Moon: The Anthology
Original Release Date: 2002

Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Given that the B-52's 1998 greatest-hits package, Time Capsule, comprehensively surveyed their best and most commercially pervasive missives while including a newly recorded track, "Debbie"--inspired by Debbie Harry and reprised wholesale on Nude on the Moon--it's fair to question the wisdom of this sprawling two-disc set. While new edits, live versions, and remixes pad the sessions and are nice and all, wigged-out chestnuts like "52 Girls," "Rock Lobster," "Dance This Mess Around," "Planet Claire," "Love Shack," and "Roam" really goose the action. That said, revisiting the perennial fashion risks from Athens, Georgia, remains a rare joy. Those old enough to remember the group's landmark Saturday Night Live debut--those wigs, that suit, those far-out gyrations!--will look back fondly not just on the B-52's fluorescent musical bounty but on the weirdly enduring resonance of their interstellar psychobabble.

From Amazon.com: In a world where Celine Dione passes for a diva, Shirley Bassey's Birthday Concert--celebrating her 60th--arrives to remind us how it's really done. Sharing in-jokes with a noisily appreciative crowd while never letting anyone forget who's boss, the Welsh-born singer torches (and occasionally flame-throws) her way through a songbook including "Big Spender," "The Lady Is a Tramp," "Diamonds Are Forever" (but, alas, no "Goldfinger"), and a series of I-will-survive anthems ("I Am What I Am"). She's still big: it's the discs that got small.
(1988) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Some movies can only be described as delicious. In Babette's Feast, a woman flees the French civil war and lands in a small seacoast village in Denmark, where she comes to work for two spinsters, devout daughters of a puritan minister. After many years, Babette unexpectedly wins a lottery, and decides to create a real French dinner--which leads the sisters to fear for their souls. Joining them for the meal will be a Danish general who, as a young soldier, courted one of the sisters, but she turned him away because of her religion. The village elders all resolve not to enjoy the meal, but can their moral fiber resist the sensual pleasure of Babette's cooking? Babette's Feast deservedly won the 1987 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. This lovely movie is impeccably simple, yet its slender narrative contains a wealth of humor, melancholy, and hope.

Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Jamie Foxx's uncannily accurate performance isn't the only good thing about Ray. Riding high on a wave of Oscar buzz, Foxx proved himself worthy of all the hype by portraying blind R&B legend Ray Charles in a warts-and-all performance that Charles approved shortly before his death in June 2004. Despite a few dramatic embellishments of actual incidents (such as the suggestion that the accidental drowning of Charles's younger brother caused all the inner demons that Charles would battle into adulthood), the film does a remarkable job of summarizing Charles's strengths as a musical innovator and his weaknesses as a philandering heroin addict who recorded some of his best songs while flying high as a kite. Foxx seems to be channeling Charles himself, and as he did with the life of Ritchie Valens in La Bamba, director Taylor Hackford gets most of the period details absolutely right as he chronicles Ray's rise from "chitlin circuit" performer in the early '50s to his much-deserved elevation to legendary status as one of the all-time great musicians. Foxx expertly lip-syncs to Ray Charles' classic recordings, but you could swear he's the real deal in a film that honors Ray Charles without sanitizing his once-messy life.
3. Big Night
(1996) ~ DVD
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Actor Stanley Tucci cowrote, codirected, and stars (along with Tony Shaloub) in this touching and funny parable about two brothers, Italian immigrants, who run an unsuccessful restaurant on the Jersey shore in the 1950s. Convinced by a thriving rival (Ian Holm) that jazz great Louis Prima will be stopping by their eatery for a late dinner after a show, the brothers pull out all stops and spend their last dollar organizing a banquet that ought to make culinary history. Expect to be very hungry after watching this delightful and touching film, but don't rush off to the kitchen until the full design of the characters and their relationships with lovers, suppliers, customers, and one another completes itself. With a memorable performance by Ian Holm and a quirky cameo by Tucci's co-director, Campbell Scott. | |||||||||
