Who’s the baddest motherf****r to blow onto blaxploitation screens? Forget Shaft and just ask X-rated comic and “godfather of rap” Rudy Ray Moore. He’ll give you the gospel of Dolemite. Street hustler, pimp, and all-around ghetto superhero Dolemite began life as a character in Moore’s nightclub act and was a natural character for his self-financed film debut, a revenge tale set on the corrupt streets of L.A.

Dolemite is sprung from prison by an impossibly understanding warden so he can find the drug-dealing, gun-smuggling crooks who framed him. With the help of his all-girl army of kung fu killers and the most flamboyant wardrobe this side of Cher, he lays waste to dozens of bad guys while spouting his funky raps. Thick, slow and sleepy, Moore is neither a natural actor not a convincing martial arts action hero, but his lazy line deliveries are great, lyrical cascades of four-letter words and “ghetto expressions,” and he performs two of his most famous stand-up raps, “Shine and the Great Titanic” and “The Signifying Monkey.”

Dolemite is not a particularly competent movie–the direction (by costar D’Urville Martin) is clumsy, the performances flat, and microphones peek in from time to time (get that video letterboxed, Xenon!)–but the outrageous mix of nightclub rap, kung-fu action, and Moore’s four-letter dialogue turned it into an instant urban hit and has kept it alive as a cult classic. Dolemite returns in The Human Tornado. The DVD also features clips from the documentary The Legend of Dolemite and the complete lyrics to his raps. –Sean Axmaker

Where The Light Is:John Mayer Live In Los Angeles

leave a comment »

Two CD set. This album captures the multi-Grammy Award winning, platinum selling singer and songwriter in the element where fans love him the most – Live on stage! The special concert includes three sets: an acoustic performance, a rare set with John Mayer Trio (with Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino), as well as a set featuring Mayer’s full band, all recorded during the night of December 8, 2007 at the Nokia Theater in LA. This album features the quintessential performer as an acoustic songwriter, electric guitar slinger, bluesman and vocalist. Highlights include many of Mayer’s biggest hits, ‘Waiting On The World To Change’ new interpretations of cover songs, ‘Free Fallen’ and a previously unreleased Mayer gem ‘In Your Atmosphere’.

The much anticipated double CD of John Mayer in concert includes all the guitar player�s hits, and the sound is unique. But the album is nothing more than a compilation of the different facets of Mayer, whose performance is divided into his three major stages. In the first part, he sings with the sole accompaniment of his acoustic guitar. Then he moves to a more jazz- and blues-inclined trio format (guitar, bass, and drums). Finally, Mayer joins his entire band with a rock sound. The truth is that the musician did not make the least effort to come up with new arrangements for his songs. If you have Mayer�s previous live CDs, there�s is not a single note here that you haven�t heard before. –Ernesto S�nchez (People en Espa�ol People en Espa�ol)

He aqu� el esperado disco doble en concierto de John Mayer, el mismo incluye todos los �xitos del guitarrista y tiene un sonido es excepcional. Pero tambi�n hay que decir que el disco nos es m�s que una compilaci�n de las diferentes facetas de Mayer que dividi� su actuaci�n en tres etapas: la primera parte del concierto es �l acompa�ado por su guitarra ac�stica, posteriormente viene una etapa con tr�o (guitarra, bajo y bater�a) que se inclina m�s hac�a el Jazz y Blues, y finalmente podemos disfrutar de Mayer acompa�ado de toda su banda y con sonido rockero. La realidad es que el m�sico no hizo ning�n esfuerzo por crear nuevo arreglos para sus canciones, si usted tiene los discos anteriores del cantautor en vivo, no tiene por qu� comprar este, no hay una sola nota que no haya escuchado antes. Este disco es una compilaci�n de �xitos en concierto. –Ernesto S�nchez (People en Espa�ol People en Espa�ol)

One Tree Hill – The Complete Fifth Season (+ Digital Copy)

leave a comment »

One Tree Hill: The Complete Fifth Season takes an unorthodox approach to advancing the popular television series by skipping over four years in the lives of the show’s characters. The Scott brothers and their sundry friends from the small town of Tree Hill, North Carolina, were last seen in The Complete Fourth Season vowing to keep in touch after high-school graduation and remain the same people, even while some went off to college and others made different plans. The fifth season leaps over that transitional period, and we find everyone now in their early 20s, dealing with adult relationships, career moves, disasters, disappointments, and all the rest. For the first time in One Tree Hill, the actors actually look close to the age of their characters, and that makes for an even more sophisticated show.

Lucas Scott (Chad Michael Murray), following a well-received first novel, is facing writer’s block on his second effort. But he fills his days as the new head coach of his old high-school basketball team, the Ravens, aided by his old pal, Skills (Antwon Tanner). Meanwhile, Lucas’ brother, Nathan (James Lafferty), is lost in a dark hole of despair after losing his dream of signing with an NBA team. Barely able to move his legs, Nathan is almost crippled in a bar fight and spends his days and nights boozing and raging around while wife Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) and young son Jamie (Jackson Brundage) try to survive his emotional torrents. Lucas is no longer with Peyton (Hilarie Burton), the latter having moved to Los Angeles to become a disgruntled assistant’s assistant in a music recording company. Brooke (Sophia Bush), however, has hit the jackpot in New York as the celebrity founder of a designer clothes empire that has made her wealthy yet not quite free of her domineering mother (Daphne Zuniga). Everyone ends up back in Tree Hill, looking for roots and a future that involves support from one another. Friendship matters, but it doesn’t inoculate this bunch from the pain of Peyton’s ongoing love for Lucas (who is romantically involved with his pretty editor), or Brooke’s emptiness after briefly fostering a child who then must leave her, or Nathan’s slow crawl back from misery. In true One Tree Hill fashion, the characters’ collective challenges come together in a critical mass during the season finale, ending with a very unusual cliffhanger involving four cell phones. –Tom Keogh

The Path to Power (The Years of Lyndon Johnson, Volume 1)

leave a comment »

This is the story of the rise to national power of a desperately poor young man from the Texas Hill Country. The Path to Power reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and ambition that set LBJ apart. It follows him from the Hill Country to New Deal Washington, from his boyhood through the years of the Depression to his debut as Congressman, his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, at age 31, of the national power for which he hungered. In this book, we are brought as close as we have ever been to a true perception of political genius and the American political process.

Means of Ascent, Book Two of The Years of Lyndon Johnson, was a number one national best seller and, like The Path to Power, received the National Book Critics Circle Award.

The profound understanding of the uses and abuses of power Robert Caro displayed in his 1974 biography of Robert Moses, The Power Broker, is a scathing achievement the author surpassed with panache in this, his second book. Caro’s dogged research and refusal to accept received wisdom results in an eye-opening portrait that unforgettably captures the titanic personality of Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908-1973). Though stronger on Johnson’s duplicity and naked self-promotion than his intelligence and charm, Caro nails it all. He chronicles the evolution of an attention-demanding youth from the Texas hill country into a seasoned congressman who would abandon his ardent espousal of the New Deal as soon as it ceased to be expedient. The dirty details begin with college elections that earn young Lyndon a reputation as a crook and a liar; Caro goes on to unravel financial shenanigans of impressive ingenuity. Johnson’s consuming desire to get ahead and his political genius “unencumbered by philosophy or ideology” are staggering. The White House, Great Society, and Vietnam lie ahead when the main narrative closes in 1941, but the roots of Johnson’s future achievements and tragic failures are laid bare. This biography may well stand as the best book written in the second half of the 20th century about personal ambition inextricably linked with historic change. –Wendy Smith

Midday with Bunuel: Memories and Sketches, 1973-1983

leave a comment »

Spanish filmmaker Luis Bu�uel (1900�83), known for his surrealist themes and unflinching social criticism, was an artist defined by intellectual ambition and controversy. An exile who produced some of his most famous work in Mexico and France during Franco�s dictatorship, he left a complicated imprint on the creative landscape of the twentieth century and on generations of younger filmmakers�including his Mexican friend Claudio Isaac. Drawn from Isaac�s personal papers, Midday with Bu�uel: Memories and Sketches, 1973�1983 is an intimate and unconventional portrait of this cinematic icon�and memoir of Isaac�s own artistic development.
The text includes sketches, vignettes, and anecdotes from Isaac�s notebooks, revealing his perspective first as a precocious boy and then as a young man. Isaac reflects on Bu�uel�s presence among a community of exiles, artists, actors, writers, and intellectuals in Mexico City. These are at once touching, perceptive, and critical glimpses into Bu�uel�s roles as husband and father, friend and colleague, surrealist, philosopher, and iconoclast during his last years. Throughout, Isaac�s words reveal his deep admiration and affection for an older friend full of contradictions. Intimate photographs from the Isaac family archive complement the writing, and Bryan Thomas Scoular�s careful translation makes this text available for the first time in English.
Part biography, part memoir, Midday with Bu�uel brings to life the creative milieu of Mexico City and gives readers a privileged view of the relationship between these two filmmakers.

Midday with Bunuel: Memories and Sketches, 1973-1983 is available at Amazon for $28.00. To Order click here

Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson, (Vintage)

leave a comment »

The most riveting political biography of our time, Robert A. Caro�s life of Lyndon B. Johnson, continues. Master of the Senate takes Johnson�s story through one of its most remarkable periods: his twelve years, from 1949 through 1960, in the United States Senate. Once the most august and revered body in politics, by the time Johnson arrived the Senate had become a parody of itself and an obstacle that for decades had blocked desperately needed liberal legislation. Caro shows how Johnson�s brilliance, charm, and ruthlessness enabled him to become the youngest and most powerful Majority Leader in history and how he used his incomparable legislative genius–seducing both Northern liberals and Southern conservatives–to pass the first Civil Rights legislation since Reconstruction. Brilliantly weaving rich detail into a gripping narrative, Caro gives us both a galvanizing portrait of Johnson himself and a definitive and revelatory study of the workings of legislative power.

Robert Caro’s Master of the Senate examines in meticulous detail Lyndon Johnson’s career in that body, from his arrival in 1950 (after 12 years in the House of Representatives) until his election as JFK’s vice president in 1960. This, the third in a projected four-volume series, studies not only the pragmatic, ruthless, ambitious Johnson, who wielded influence with both consummate skill and “raw, elemental brutality,” but also the Senate itself, which Caro describes (pre-1957) as a “cruel joke” and an “impregnable stronghold” against social change. The milestone of Johnson’s Senate years was the 1957 Civil Rights Act, whose passage he single-handedly engineered. As important as the bill was–both in and of itself and as a precursor to wider-reaching civil rights legislation–it was only close to Johnson’s Southern “anti-civil rights” heart as a means to his dream: the presidency. Caro writes that not only does power corrupt, it “reveals,” and that’s exactly what this massive, scrupulously researched book does. A model of social, psychological, and political insight, it is not just masterful; it is a masterpiece. –H. O’Billovich
