Capsule reviews of 'The Incredible Hulk' and other films
Capsule reviews of films opening this week:
"The Happening" - Not much happens in fright specialist M. Night Shyamalan's latest. "The Sixth Sense" director effectively delivers his usual broody air of foreboding. And this fear-mongering story of an airborne toxin that causes victims to snuff themselves will induce seat-squirming as people shove hairpins into their throats or hurl themselves en masse off a high rise. The shock value wears off quickly, though, and Shyamalan strands us in a boring cautionary tale with an infantile eco-message about humanity needing to live in harmony with nature - or else. Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel play a couple racing through the countryside to keep ahead of some mysterious substance that induces suicide. The movie's vague, shame-on-us finger-pointing would have been tepid in the 1960s and 1970s, when Hollywood condemned our rapacious species with more fun and interesting future-shock flicks such as "Planet of the Apes" and "Silent Running." All Shyamalan comes up with is an intriguing impetus for a story that ultimately goes nowhere and says nothing. Two stars out of four.

"The Incredible Hulk" - The fanboys will probably be happy with this incarnation of "The Incredible Hulk." At least we can say that much for it. And that's something we most assuredly could not say about Ang Lee's sombre, introspective and largely derided 2003 take on the beloved Marvel Comics hero. There's a lot more action this time around as you might expect from "Transporter" director Louis Leterrier - a deafening, endless amount by the colossal conclusion - as well as fond references both to the comic book series and to the television show it inspired starring Bill Bixby. (Leterrier even sneaks in some of Joseph Harnell's "Lonely Man" theme, or as Stewie on "Family Guy" refers to it, "That sad, walking-away song from 'The Incredible Hulk."') This version is indeed bigger-stronger-faster, which seems appropriate in telling the story of a guy who's been juicing. But the inevitable comparisons to "Iron Man," Marvel Studios' first blockbuster this summer, serve as a glaring reminder of what the "Hulk" lacks: wit and heart. Despite the presence of Edward Norton, an actor capable of going just as deep as Robert Downey Jr., we don't feel a strong sense of Bruce Banner's inner conflict. That's surprising, given that the famously detail-oriented Norton worked over Zak Penn's script. Liv Tyler seems a bit stiff as Bruce's long-lost love, Dr. Betty Ross, but the movie is livened up by Tim Roth as Bruce's new nemesis and Tim Blake Nelson as the mad scientist who is trying to help Bruce rid his body of gamma rays. Two and a half stars out of four.

Report: ET Knew It Had Been Punk'd
Entertainment Tonight was informed in advance that a story that it intended to air about the birth of Angelina Jolie's twins was a hoax -- but ran the story anyway, the Associated Press reported Wednesday, citing documents and two people with knowledge of the exchange. The AP said that Jolie's personal assistant, Holly Goline, who was named by ET as the source of its story, contacted the producers of the television show after they posted the story on the ET website (but before it went on the air). Goline reportedly told the program "that their information came from an impostor," according to the AP source, who said that several conversations and email exchanges took place before the ET report aired. The show declined to comment on the AP report except to say that it was "actively investigating the matter." In its report the AP commented: "The mystery of who was sending the e-mail fit perfectly into the world of celebrity gossip, in which rumor and third-hand sources coalesce into 'facts' at the speed of the Internet."

Santorini Pizza & Pasta serves up hot stuff with lots of warmth
A lot of my neighbors in Seattle's Wedgwood and Meadowbrook neighborhoods probably don't want you to discover Santorini Pizza & Pasta. It sometimes can be hard enough to get a table as it is.
Since 1994, this genuine mom-and-pop restaurant (think "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" without the Windex), camouflaged in a gray building by Nathan Hale High School, has been charming folks with generous pizza and Italian-Greek entrees and a family-friendly vibe.
The menu: At first glance, it's a standard rundown, but don't be fooled. The pizzas ($13.95-$17.95) are thick and cheesy, piled up with everything you usually demand for your ravenous crew. Or try the Odyssey, with feta, eggplant, zucchini, garlic, kalamata olives and a healthy helping of gyro meat.
But don't shy away from the pasta. The Hylopetes, a Greek pasta ($12.95 with a passable salad and plenty of excellent garlic bread), is full of pesto, crisp-tender broccoli and shrimp, clams or chicken. The fettuccini alfredo ($10.95-$12.95, depending on meat choice) was satisfying, if a little unremarkable.
Nightly specials, entree-sized salads ($9.95), open-faced sandwiches ($10.95 with salad) and a limited kids menu ($5.95-$7.95) round out the family-oriented menu.
When my mother-in-law dove into the Lasagna Verdi ($11.95), which arrived still bubbling hot, the vegetarian dish was a little too saucy. But as it cooled, the rich flavors of roasted garlic and perfectly cooked spinach won the day.
What to write home about: Save room for dessert. The homemade tiramisu ($6.50) is stacked high like a sugary Jenga, with plenty of dark rum. "Dinner was great, but this is outstanding!," mother-in-law raved. The house-made baklava ($4.95) also pops with the taste of cinnamon and cloves.
The setting: The no-frills, sparse décor is overcome by the warm hospitality of the family owners.
Summing up: Three adults overate with three entrees, which include salad and bread, along with two desserts for about $50. We had leftovers to tote home, where mother-in-law threatened to visit often, now that she knows about Santorini in our neighborhood.

The Gutter Twins - Saturnalia
They've been teasing fans with their collaborations since The Twilight Singers' 'Blackberry Belle' in 2003 and now, after what seems like forever, grunge's two great survivors Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan satisfy every desire with the colossal 'Saturnalia'.
Longtime masters of sun-goes-down music, the duo have created one of those very rare albums that would make you happy to see shorter days. For either man each of these 12 journeys to the dark end of the street warrants a place on a Best Of and the atmosphere of love, lust and religious references they lure you into is so addictive that you'd scour the Internet for the outakes, the unfinished and the cast-offs.
There are rockers ('God's Children', 'Idle Children'), ballads ('I Was in Love with You', 'The Body') and dirges ('All Misery/Flowers', 'Bete Noire'), stunning duets ('Front Street', 'Who Will Lead Us') and a guitar solo so maniacal that any metal overlord would be thrilled to call it theirs. And with every listen grows the feeling that this is far too great to be a one-off.
One of the best reasons to remember 2008.

R Kelly - R Kelly Defence Team Concludes Arguments In Sex Tape Case
The defence team has rested its case in the sex tape trial involving singer R Kelly.
The court was suspended on Monday morning, with the I Believe I Can Fly star accused of filming himself engaging in sex acts with a girl who prosecutors say may have been as young as 13 at the time.
Three relatives of the girl allegedly shown in the footage testified last week that she was not the female seen in the video.
However, four family members had earlier testified for the prosecution that their relative was indeed the girl on the tape.
Judge Vincent Gaughan dismissed jurors on Monday but they will return to court today with the prosecution expected to recall a number of rebuttal witnesses.
George Skaluba, a Forensic Video Examiner with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, said he believed the tape showed "real people in a real environment", while fellow analyst Grant Fredericks had shown the jury potentially incriminating freeze frames from the video.
Kelly's lawyer Samuel Adam Jr had said that while Kelly has a "significant" coin-sized mole on his back - going so far as to show the jury pictures of the singer's blemish - the man in the footage did not appear to have a mole.
However, Fredericks compared a still photo taken of Kelly's back, which showed the mole, with frames from the footage which showed a dark spot in the same position.
The girl allegedly shown in the footage has not been called for testimony by either side and has previously denied that she is the female in the video.
Kelly faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of some 14 counts of making and owning child pornography.

Such industrial alt-metal outfits as Nine Inch Nails and Ministry received the lion's contribution of press and commercial success during the '90s, but on that point were a smattering of early bands that were slugging it out for just as long (if not thirster), including KMFDM. The band's name has been the subject of innumerable debates amongst fans all over the age as to what it stands for (their record company even went as far as property a contest in 1994 for fans to submit possible meanings, resulting in more than a k entries), just the confirmed meaning is Kein Mitleid Für Die Mehrheit, when translated in English agency No Pity for the Majority. The German band has included innumerable members all over the age, but through it all, their leader has remained Sascha Konietzko, whose multi-tasks have included songwriter, producer, mixer, coder, sampler, vocalist, percussionist, bassist, and electronic gadgets.
To begin with formed in Paris, France, KMFDM was founded by Konietzko and German painter/multi-media performing artist Udo Sturm. The duette made their in concert debut on February 29, 1984, when they performed at an opening for an exhibition of European artists at the Grand Palais in Paris (with the show consisting of Sturm playing a synthesist that would dally feedback and Konietzko playing a five-string freshwater bass). The same year, KMFDM issued its debut discharge, Opium, merely Sturm exited the grouping concisely thereafter (some the same sentence, Konietzko was joined by drummer En Esch, wHO would stay with the group from then on out). With Sturm kayoed of the picture, Konietzko and Esch assign KMFDM on hold at first and joined up with New York industrialist Peter Missing to form the rig Missing Foundations. But in front the fresh outfit could issuing whatever recordings, both Konietzko and Esch had dropped out and returned back to KMFDM (Missing Foundations would carry on with replacement members and go on to matter albums on their own from the recent '80s through and through the early '90s).
KMFDM's sophomore elbow grease, What Do You Know Deutschland?, came in 1986 and was the group's first of many for Chicago's far-famed industrial label Wax Trax! But or else of if existence an record album of all new tracks, it was comprised of selections spanning from 1983 through and through 1986 (in fact, several were from prior to Esch's connexion). Around this clock time, KMFDM struck up a relationship with creative person Aidan Hughues (aka Brute!), world Health Organization would steadily furnish cover art for the mathematical group the images would become synonymous with KMFDM's hard-hitting music. Konietzko and ship's company pushed fore with such further '80s releases as 1988's Don't Blow Your Top and 1989's UAIOE, during which KMFDM establish themselves in the midsection of an resistance industrial trend (it didn't hurt matters that Wax Trax! quick became one of the prima industrial labels in the existence, as they were the home to such other likewise styled acts as Ministry, Revco, Front 242, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, etc.).
Merely KMFDM had so far to term of enlistment America by 1989 (having heavy toured Europe with the likes of Einstrüzende Neubauten, the Young Gods, and Borghesia, among others), something they sought to correct when they were offered a expansion slot opening a U.S. tour for labelmates Ministry, world Health Organization at the time were readying their classical The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste discharge. With the tour lined up for a summertime launch, it was pushed endorse several times (due to Ministry leader Al Jourgensen falling ominous) and the turn at last got underway in December 1989. The tour successfully constituted KMFDM as a band to watch over in the industrial underground, as they returned endorse to Europe afterwards the tour's completion to do work on their fifth full-length tone ending overall, 1990's Naïve. Realizing that industrial's future lay in the U.S., Konietzko relocated KMFDM's homebase from Hamburg to Chicago during 1991. The same year, KMFDM's side-project Excessive Force was formed, issuance a debut liberation, Stamp down Your World, in 1992, the same year that KMFDM issued a new release as advantageously, Money.
Merely just as it appeared as though KMFDM was about to break through to a wider audience, Wax Trax! short establish itself on backbreaking times, resulting in the label being bought out by TVT Records. What followed for KMFDM were some of its best-known and strongest releases: 1993's Angst (which earned the grouping their low genuine exposure on MTV via the video clip for the track "Drug Against War"), 1995's Nihil, and 1996's XTORT. During the same time, Excessive Force issued a second release, 1994's Gentle Death, spell Konietzko relocated erstwhile more than, this meter to Seattle. Further releases followed in the late '90s (1997's Symbols, 1998's Agogo, and 1999's Good-by), before KMFDM disbanded on January 22, 1999. In the wake of the group's split, Konietzko assembled a new kit, MDFMK (yep, KMFDM spelled backward) and issued a sole self-titled firing in 2000 earlier KMFDM reunited in 2002 for an all-new album, Attak, and the live record album Sturm & Drang Tour 2002. 2003 saw the release of WWIII followed by WWIII Live 2003 a yr later. Released on KMFDM Records, 2005's Hau Ruck was classical KMFDM with its strong-growing industrial power. The Ruck Zuck EP followed in 2006 with the uncut Tohuvabohu landing in 2007. In summation to stellar KMFDM, Konietzko has as well worked with other artists either playing, producing, or remixing tracks/albums by Die Krupps, Front 242, kidneythieves, M People, Peter Murphy, Pig, Schwein, Sister Machine Gun, and Swamp Terrorists, among others.
