• Mudhoney: Still Going Strong?

  Since their 1988 debut, Mudhoney has survived a decade and a half of shifting music scenes and neglect from the wider music world. Have they avoided the soul sucking crapulence that haunts so many other bands that continue on into their second decade?

• George Lucas

  Each time I watch one of these films, I am struck by something different. This time around, I was particularly aware of the fact that in the five Star Wars films made so far, we are seeing essentially the same images, over and over again. Each time through, they are placed in different contexts, used in different sequences, but basically Lucas is telling stories from a very basic visual vocabulary.

• Mark Bowden: Black Hawk Down

  Even if you've seen the movie, you need to read this in-the-streets account of the now infamous seventh mission of Task Force Ranger and Delta Force in Mogadishu, Somalia. Militarily, the mission was a success; politically, it was a disaster. Bowden masterfully captures both the action and the human story in a way that sheds light on our current conflict.
