DEERHOOF Candy and fruit. Pandas and war. Love and magic. Just some of the enigmatic points of inspiration on Apple O ' (5RC/Kill Rock Stars), the new release from San Francisco's Deerhoof. This is damaged avant-pop's zenith, with quirky hooks and manic instrumental/vocal overtures that belie a bittersweet soul. Strangely beautiful in its alternately melodic and spastic dream world, the quartet continues its quietly emphatic stand against convention and asks the question: where is beauty? The answer: everywhere. Greg Saunier (percussion), Satomi Matsuzaki (vocals/bass), Chris Cohen (guitar), and John Dieterich (guitar). Come see them now, 'cause it's only gonna get harder later.

ROCKY DIRECTED BY JOHN G. AVILDSEN Small-time boxer Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) gets a once-in-a-lifetime chance to fight the heavyweight champ, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), in a bout in which he strives to go the distance in order to win back his self-respect. Rocky starts off down on his luck, working at a Philadelphia meat-packing factory and fighting at a local club. When Apollo challenges him to the championship bicentennial fight, his grumpy manager, Mickey (Burgess Meredith), sets him on a training schedule fueled by raw eggs and a running regime that includes a stop on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. One of the great boxing films of all time and the start of a franchise of sequels. 1976, U.S., BW, 16mm, 119 minutes. |
