What can I say? This is street punk at
with sometimes trashy and
sometimes clean guitars, and sometimes
gritty and sometimes harmonious vocals.
As for the bass and drums, they produce
steady, simple, catchy rhythms that hold
the music together. The songs are very
diverse, ranging from street punk rock to
rockabilly to country to surf rock sound. I

don't agree with the band's direction, but
they are definitely talented musicians with
a genuine desire to create music that has
meaning and substance. This is unlike
those commercial hands, (e.g. Limp
Bitkit, Matchbox 20 and Creed) that write
what the music industry dictates and in
return line their pockets with the greens.
Swingin' Utters, along with many other
independent-label bands, are still keeping
music true and real and from the heart and
soul.

Since this is the last issue before the
start of a new millennium, I thought I
would do a small compilation of films
produced over the last ten years that I
have grown to love. There is no order or
rating to this list. If I left out your
favorites: Forrest Gump, Dances With
I/Uves, The Green Mile, or any movie
starring Adam Sandler, I don't have any
apologies. This is my opinion and my col
umn. Deal with it.
Boogie ightv (1997)
perfect film. Paul T
Anderson's sprawling
expose On the '7os and 'Bos
porn industry has every-
thing: writing that resonates,
direction that penetrates and
music that stimulates. The
brilliant tone changes, the
wonderful climax and the
thick characterization all say one thing:
you are in the hands of a person in love
with filmmaking.
JFK (1991) There was nothing
before JFK and there will be nothing after.
The brilliance of the film lies in the edit
ing. The use of different film stocks and
the layering of story lines has never
worked so effectively. The communica
tion of complex history is handled so
impeccably that even the strongest Oliver
Stone critic couldn't help but be engaged

by this amazingly-crafted masterpiece.
The Thin Red Line (1998)
Mallick's triumphant return to filmmak
ing picks up right where he left off in
1978 with Dais of Heaven. This beautiful,
lyrical war film about nature, man and
God, shows a side of war that has never
beer► seen before. It has the intelligence of
Apocalypse Now mixed with the power of
Platoon. In my Opinion, it is the greatest
war film ever made.
The Player (1992) --- Robert Altman's
slick satire of life in the film business is
one of the greatest satires of all time. The
voyeuristic direction and
film noir photography give
the film an edgy and dis
turbing tone, while the
writing and performances
lead you through a hilari
ous behind-the-scenes look
at our biggest exploiter-
Hollywood. This is hands
down Robert Altman's best
work to date
Bottle Rocket (1996) This feature
film debut from Wes Anderson
(Rushmore) is a "rolling in the aisles"
comedy starring Luke and Owen Wilson
as wanna-be criminals trying to pull off
the heist of their lives. The characters are
lovable, and the comedic flair is so subtle
and fresh that it takes about ten viewings
to pick it all up. I only wish that comedy
could be this intelligent all the time.
