BasshunterBass Generation Ultra RecordsThe third American release from Basshunter — or Jonas Altberg — continues the Swedish DJ/singer-songwriter’s progression from his early trance roots to a mainstream dance-pop sound. The infectious tracks “Every Morning” and “I Promised Myself” and their explosive beats get the album off to a rousing start. The album’s early engulfing energy is sustained through tracks like “I Can’t Deny,” featuring superb vocals from Lauren Dyson and keeps flowing through the dynamic “Far From Home” and the kooky “Plane to Spain” that hearkens back to Basshunter’s earlier sound. While the album ends with a rather poor remix of the aforementioned “Every Morning,” “Bass Generation” is definitely an entertaining joyride.B+A. White- –Flight of the ConchordsI Told You I Was FreakySub Pop RecordsHave you ever been told you looked like a llama? The New Zealand duo Flight of the Conchords poses this question and discusses other serious issues like too many guys on the dance floor at once and comparing love to Scotch tape in its latest comedy-folk album. “I Told You I Was Freaky” doesn’t quite live up to the band’s self-titled debut, and the repeated themes of awkward sexual encounters and failed relationships get old fast. Though the album themes become a little weary, the band manages to keep the album afloat with catchy tunes and a few jokes about male gigolos and how rappers have feelings too.B-E. Slack- –The StepfatherSony Pictures”The Stepfather” can easily be defined as a worthless and shallow excuse for a horror movie. Those inflicted with low gore tolerance could easily sit through this film with out flinching. ”The Stepfather” is miles away from engaging, and the excessively-creepy-stepdad-popping-out scenes make the film monotonous. The movie has little to no back-story and leaves many ends untied. The lack of any type of psychological condition or motive for murder makes the film pointless. The only redeeming quality offered by “The Stepfather” is Dylan Walsh’s decent performance.D-L. Nunez- –Where the Wild Things AreWarner Bros. PicturesSpike Jonze’s “Where the Wild Things Are” is an endearing adaptation of the children’s book in which Max, a stubborn boy, runs away to a land where the Wild Things roam free, and he is made their king. Music by Karen O makes the movie come to life and brings both joy and fear to audiences. Heart-warming and heart-breaking at the same time, this movie will bring out the adventure and Wild Thing hiding in all of us. Audiences will eat it up and love it so.AC. Vogels
