    In the beginning, there were The Beatles. The ’90s and ’00s brought forth Cirque du Soleil. At a familiar intersection of artistic and commercial extremes, Strip production Love arrived in 2006. Today, so perfunctory it almost seems like an agreed-upon stipulation from the start, arrives All Together Now.

    If classic country is a dusty ranch populated with remorseful former outlaws, broken-down truckers and the occasional ex-rodeo queen, Emmylou Harris’ seasoned lilt has long been a welcome spring shower, staving off a drought of irrelevance just in time.

    Pity Beautiful Losers has but a single screening at CineVegas, as the documentary following a handful of artists who congregated at New York's Alleged Gallery—and, in a “whirlpool of inspiration,” ultimately helped take graffiti, skateboarding and, above all, outsider perspective mainstream—is infinitely touching and truthful. As one artist puts it, “We were dumb, bored kids. All you had to have was a heart.”

    Though momentum begins to falter two-thirds of the way through the movie and the storyline is a bit shaky, Zach Galifianakis’ brilliantly understated performance in Visioneers saves the film from getting carried away on its own flights of ... not fancy, exactly, but something more akin to enforced apathy.

    It might as well been called I Loved the End of World War II!, this irksomely grainy, black-and-white documentary about a collective of East End, London, gangsters, or as they prefer, “villains.”

    French electroclash artists may be a dime a dozen, but who else save the deceptively innovative four-piece responsible for 2005’s seductive Witching Hour would deliver not one but two cuts sung entirely in Bulgarian?

    It’s already been a hectic year for longtime Strip headliner Rita Rudner. Her first stand-up special in a decade was a fundraising coup for Las Vegas PBS in March, and her fifth book, a collection of humorous essays entitled I Still Have It … I Just Can’t Remember Where I Put It, hit shelves May 13. This month Rita Rudner: Live From Las Vegas airs nationally and will be released as a DVD—Rudner’s first—on June 24. If that wasn’t enough, the comedian/screenwriter/novelist/actress adds “playwright” to her resume when Room 776, co-written and directed by her husband, Martin Bergman, premieres June 13 at the Las Vegas Little Theatre

    Though the title implies otherwise, Bra Boys is neither an ’80s sex romp nor a cross-dressing exposé. The documentary does, however, concern porn: the little-known genre of wave porn, specifically. Huge, heaving curves. Explosions of foamy spray. Men rhythmically darting in and out with their large, phallic objects. Somewhere around the middle, bad vibes harsh the buzz. Then the wave porn resumes.

    "You weren’t expecting this shit, were ya? ... It’s a natural human reaction to freak out when you see somebody different. Kids are very honest, very upfront about their reactions. Kids’ll see me: 'Hey, what happened to youuu? Did you get into an accident?' 'Hell no, I didn’t eat my vegetables when I was your age, you little shit … now put me down.'”

    Momentum has slowed, it’s safe to say, for the first Seattle band out of the grunge gate. And when a group’s heat has long cooled, is the resulting lull a hindrance to credibility (with disappointment leading to diminished creativity), or a freeing agent, leaving musicians beholden to no one—fans, label, themselves—and open to exploring both sound and emotion?

    At the time, the early 2007 departure of From First to Last frontman Sonny Moore—and the band’s subsequent release from Capitol Records—seemed to be taken in stride. Primary songwriter and guitarist Matt Good resumed duties as the group’s original vocalist, Matt Manning came on board as bassist, and the post-hardcore foursome leapt into the studio to bang out a self-titled third effort with something to prove.
