 » Glaciers of Ice: Volume 31 - With summer blasting full scale, LAS hip-hop resident Jonah Flicker feels the heat in Los Angeles, where the music has been mostly fire… with some ice thrown in just for good measure. An early summer listening guide notes the high points for July.

CINEMA

 » Machine Girl - Fans of The Evil Dead trilogy, the films of John Woo and Japanese anime will all find something to like in the immensely gory Tokyo Shock production of a story about a girl, her gun arm, and her gruesome killing spree.
[06.30.2008 by Jon Burke]

CINEMA

 » Encounters at the End of the World - Another idiosyncratic and exceptional statement from one of contemporary cinema's greatest directors, Werner Herzog's new feature film, centered on Antarctica, fuels his approach to life as a "chain of catastrophes." The film had its premiere at New York's Film Forum earlier this month and will begin a theatrical run on Friday.
