  A very good, but slightly flawed film by the master of the heist - Jean-Pierre Melville.

• Movie Review: Sin City

  Sin City, Robert Rodriguez’s latest feature (co-directed with Frank Miller of Batman comics fame) lives up to the hype, naked and violent.

  Short version: A gritty, violent, and overall impressive film that may not go over big with the general public.

Music

• Red Hot Jazz

  I hardly know where to start with this comprehensive recording. Over 71 minutes of pure jazz and absolute musical bliss are unearthed amongst the 19 tracks on Red Hot.

• The Weekly Music Magazine CD Sampler Review

  Uncut is a monthly British magazine that covers music, film, DVDs both new and re-releases, and books that also cover these topics. They tend to focus on music stars of the past rather than the hot new artists of today. This issue has Queen on the cover. The sampler CDs tend to have a laid-back feel to them. You will not hear nu-metal, rock, punk or hip-hop to any great degree, but singer-songwriters abound.

• Weekend Reissue Reviews

  We'll kick off this column with 4 brand-new compilations from Capitol Records of four 1980's artists. None of them were in any grave need of a new anthology; serviceable ones had been released for each previously. What these offer are a few additional tracks, some resequencing, and in the case of Duran Duran, an accompanying DVD.

  "Sinister cabal" innocuous pleasantry? Some of the Schiavo commentary raises possibility it's in earnest.

• Requiem and Reformation: The Media and the Pope

  Isn't it interesting on some level that so many are grieving the passing of a man whose lecturing on critical areas of the faith they ignore and violate?

  [UPDATE - He has died] He is not God, so should not be expected to change the world by himself.
