    Review: 'Inglourious Basterds'  Aug 22, 2009
    The nimbleness of tone is striking, but what holds it all together - the David Bowie song on the soundtrack, Samuel Jackson's voiceover narration, the pathos and the horror - is Tarantino's singleness of vision.

    Inglourious Basterds is a world war hoot  Aug 19, 2009
    The suspense and action and performances are all so spot-on here that I couldnt help feeling disappointed when Tarantino would play one of his Brechtian canards, like using the David Bowie theme song from Cat People or joltingly identifying one of the basterds with a freeze-frame title card, complete with blacksploitation-era font. Its one thing when Godard violates the fourth wall, since he tends to use distancing devices throughout. (MSNBC -- Movies)

But Bandslam is narrated in the form of Will s regular e-mails to his idol David Bowie (e-mails that go unanswered until - I can say no more), and the movie s awareness of rock s family tree is democratic enough to embrace Wilco, Cheap Trick, Peter Bjorn and an only mildly ridiculous ska version of Bread s Everything I Own.

    It was Countdown that put out a call for extras to film the movie's opening scene of fans queueing for tickets for the David Bowie concert at the MCG. Sejavka, who has become an award-winning playwright in the past 20 years, recalls queuing for three weeks to get tickets and then another two weeks for good seats.

    What's Playing  Jul 23, 2009
    Moon - Written and directed by Duncan Jones (son of David Bowie), "Moon" is one of the most original and artistically impressive films I've seen in years.

    I am surprised myself, as the last stadium concert I attended with floor seating was David Bowie at Madison Square Garden in New York City in July 1983 ... I m back on the floor in an arena hearing Adam sing the same songs that David Bowie sang that fateful night 26 years ago ... " Thanks for the article.I think that we 40+ women are seeing in Adam something we haven't seen in far too many years. We grew up with 'Rock Gods'...and it's been far too long since we've seen one. And a nice one at... (Green Valley News & Sun, AZ)

    CONCERT REVIEW: Turbo-charged Lambert steals 'Idol' tour stop in San Diego hometown  Jul 21, 2009

By the time he descended into the stage with a final shout of "I love you, San Diego!" Lambert had proved he's the total package ---- voice, charisma, confidence, star power and good looks (a striking mix of broad-shouldered masculinity and almost... (North County Times)
