Incredible Hulk - Movie Reviews The Incredible Hulk
Marvel's The Incredible Hulk, who first muscled his way into theaters in 2003
and had to fight off critics upon his arrival, returns at midnight tonight (Thursday),
and he's earning a bit more respect -- and probably more green as well. Claudia Pui
g in USA Today says the new Hulk "is more viscerally angry and packs a bigger
wallop than Ang Lee's talkier, more introspective version" and that while there are
plotholes, "as a popcorn movie steeped in action, it keeps our attention." Lou Lumenick
says that when it comes to fans of the comic book and the TV series, the new Hulk
"squarely hits the target." However, he adds, the sequel is "only fitfully successful
in engaging the middle ground -- us nonhard-core fans." Mick LaSalle in the San
Francisco Chronicle says that the new film does not attempt to make "a thinking-person's
action movie," as Ang Lee attempted to do with his Hulk. Instead, he remarks,
the film "embraces its identity as a sci-fi-summer-action-blockbuster extravaganza
." The trade papers predict that the film will show lots of strength at the box office.
"This loud and quick-moving production will shake loose ample coin in all markets,"
writes Todd McCarthy in Daily Variety. Adds Kirk Honeycutt in the Holl
ywood Reporter: "The film is poised to carry the weekend buoyed by an unbeatable
combination of buzz and hype."

Britain expels Kiwi band
There was nothing rock'n'roll about Opshop being booted out of Britain.On Saturday, the Kiwi band had to cancel their Edinburgh show, the first of a 10-day, three-show promotional tour, after trouble with visas.Siren record label representative Tracy Magan said management thought Opshop could travel under the visa-waiver programme because they wouldn't be making any money during the tour.But rule changes had seen the programme "tightened up" significantly.In the past three months there had been a 12 per cent increase in expulsions and bands from around the world had been caught short."This is the kind of stuff happening an awful lot - it's always been a grey area for bands. Now it [the programme] has changed so quickly."We had to find out the hard way."Ms Magan said visas were being sorted out now and the band members - Matt Treacy, Jason Kerrison, Bobby Kennedy and Clint Harris - would be back in the UK by the end of the week.New dates as well as refund information are to be announced.
Last year, the band released Second Hand Planet, a 30,000-unit double-platinum-selling effort, as a follow-up to You Are Here.Their song Maybe is the most successful of all time on New Zealand radio.

Madonna To Headline Michael Moore Film Festival
Documentary maker Michael Moore has landed a big boost for his Traverse City Film Festival in Michigan - Madonna's coming home for it.
The pop superstar's I am Because We Are documentary, about Aids orphans in Malawi, will headline the alternative film festival in August (08) - and the Material Girl will be there in person.
Thrilled Moore says, "Madonna will present the film, watch it with the audience and conduct a question-and-answer session afterwards.
"It's a huge coup for the Film Festival, and for Traverse City."
And the hard-hitting documentarian, who has taken the U.S. medical profession and President George W. Bush to task in his films, has nothing but praise for Madonna's new release, which recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
He adds, "She spent the past couple of years filming what the people go through, and the efforts to help them. I saw the film about a month ago. It's a fantastic, powerful movie."
Madonna produced and narrated the documentary after travelling to Malawi, where she met toddler David Banda. She and husband Guy Ritchie are adopting the child.

Pete Doherty - Doherty To Defend Title At Soccer Six
Pete Doherty and his Babyshambles bandmates will be defending their title at Samaritans' Celebrity Soccer Six tournament, it has been announced.
The band heads this year's lineup for the charity football event, which is being held at Millwall's the New Den on May 18th.
Doherty's participation was only able to be confirmed when he was released from prison last week after serving just 28 days of a 14-week sentence for breaching a probation order.
Last year's defeated finalists Razorlight also return and are set to face a host of musical challengers including McFly, Faithless, the Wombats and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.
Also donning their shorts and socks are Noel Fielding and Simon Webbe, as well as contestants from Big Brother, X Factor and The Apprentice.
Samaritans' Claire Duncan promised that Soccer Six would be a "fantastic day" for everyone involved.
"It allows Samaritans to raise awareness of the 24:7 emotional support that we offer and in light of the recent suicides in Bridgend in Wales it is vital that we reach out to young people out to young people at an earlier stage before problems seem much more difficult to manage," she explained.
"Samaritans is here to listen, not to judge or make assumptions but to give people the time and space to work through how they are feeling. If you need emotional support then get in touch."
All proceeds from ticket sales for this year's Soccer Six will go to Samaritans.

George Michael to reveal all
T Bone Burnett, Tooth Of Crime
Joseph Henry Burnett is better known by his stage name of ‘T Bone’ and as a highly sought after producer of landmark albums such as Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’s Raising Sand as well as for his work on the film soundtracks for O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Walk the Line. He was most active as a solo artist in the 1980s, after which his skills as a behind-the-scenes man seemed to take up most of his time. Burnett’s trademarks are cinematic production values, his sardonic, nasal, speak-singing vocals (which suggest a misanthropic John Lennon) an eclectic and inventive approach to American roots music and lyrics of withering cynicism and at times surreal force.
Tooth of Crime is the second record he’s made since returning to solo work in 2006. Most of this new disc was actually written for a 1996 staging of Sam Shepard’s play Tooth Of Crime (Second Chance), but shelved when Burnett decided it ‘didn’t seem like an album.’
The lightweight ditty The Slowdown is the only piece that approaches conventional ‘musical’ fare. The rest of the material is considerably darker, and when compared with his 1980 debut Truth Decay, not as melodic or accessible. One exception is the rather swooning Kill Zone, which was co-written with Roy Orbison and sounds like it. Anything I Say Can And Will Be Used Against You is the other obvious highlight, which comes across like a slow, twisted Tom Waits rewrite of the theme tune from the TV series Get Smart.
The whole thing seethes with bluesy menace, greatly aided by Darrel Leonard’s often-dissonant brass arrangements, Marc Ribot’s atmospheric surf guitar twanging (think Twin Peaks) and Jim Keltner’s masterfully lopsided drums. Sam Phillips croons alongside Burnett on Dope Island, but any romantic solace is undermined by the post-apocalyptic imagery of the lyrics, which teeter on the brink of melodrama here and on The Rat Age. It’s this, and the emphasis on atmospherics rather than memorable tunes – especially on the last three tracks – that makes it something to endure rather than enjoy, and also fuels the feeling that maybe there’s still not quite a full album’s worth of ideas here.
