Harry Potter: Refresher Course
Boy wizard returns to theaters
Sandy Lam
Staff Writer
As any Harry Potter fan, you must know that Nov. 18 is the release date for
the movie, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." If you didn't know, you
should drop this newspaper and go buy your tickets, NOW! Many have been
anxiously awaiting the fourth Harry Potter movie for many different reasons.
Some say that the Goblet of Fire is the best book in the series and can't be
crammed into one film. At 640 pages, HPGF is almost as long as books one,
two, and three put together. It is by far the most action packed.

Three DVDs in need of viewers
Musician/Director Rob Zombie
revisits his gory pals of House of 1000 Corpses in this gore-fest fangorific
sequel. The story is unoriginal in its treatment yet the sheer sadism of the
film is worth it. Not very far in style from those 1970's horror films which
spawned clones in the millions like Halloween 83 or Friday the 13th part
12,003.

Our Town
Miko Calivo
Associate Editor
It might be the most boring play in
the world as nothing seems to happen during the two hours of show time. If
this is the feeling you come away with by watching Our Town, then you have
done what Thorton Wilder suggests in his groundbreaking play. You have
become blind to the simple and the small. For beyond the basic language and
steady pulse, there is something magical blossoming on stage. This magic
isn't grandiose. It doesn't even make a noise. The magic of Our Town is
human: It is life and it is death.

I'm a Pop Culture Genius
When man uses god as a threat
The Genius
Staff Writer
Something interesting recently happened on television. It wasn't
another Janet Jackson incident. No one on the Real World got sent to the ER.
This particular event happened on a little TV show called The 700 Show
hosted by Pat Robertson, a religious broadcaster.

CD Reviews: Viagra for your stereo
Decemberists-Picaresque
Danielle Koagel
A&E Editor
From
whales to wild women, from bachelors to brides, The Decemberists are unlike
any other band playing today. With a sound vaguely reminiscent of castles
and roving caravans, Portland's latest export has shocked the music world
with its striking, emotive lyrics.

Slender Means - Neon and Ruin
Lydia Sprague
Staff Writer
Seattle band Slender Means is not afraid to call them selves
pop rock. In fact their debut full-length album, Neon and Ruin, boasts a
title and artwork straight out of the dance rock era. The band formed in
2003 and has been building a following by playing shows, meeting music fans
and the release of an EP.

Absinthe party at the Fly Honey Warehouse
Justin Barnes
Sports Editor
The Seattle music scene has been a living
breathing organism for decades upon decades. Some of the most influential
bands of all time have spawned from the area (grunge rock, anyone?) and with
all of Seattle's depressing rainy overtones arguably assisting the bands
lyrics, distorted guitars, and impeccable live shows, it is no secret that
Seattle is a breeding ground for musicians of all ages and styles.

Rascal Flatts put on a good show
Adam Starr
Ad Manager
On a cold and rainy night a good
place to spend Veterans Day was at the Rascal Flatts concert in the lovely
smelling city of Tacoma. The tickets to get in were a little pricey but well
worth it by the end of the night. There probably wasn't an open seat in the
dome but from my view it is hard to tell but any seat had a good view of the
stage.

'Rent' rocks the big screen
Miko Calivo
Associate Editor
Jonathan Larson, creator of Rent, probably never
envisioned the longevity of his musical. Based off of Puccini's La Boheme,
Larson modernized that tale and drafted a story set in bohemian New York
City. The characters in Rent deal with AIDS, as opposed to tuberculosis in
Puccini's story. Larson, who never lived to see Rent debut on Broadway (he
died the night before the show's first preview performance) could never have
imagined that nine years after it was brought to life that the musical would
transpire to film.
