Waking Life is a movie about dreams, and Linklater, along with art director Bob Sabiston and producer Tommy Palotta, has hit upon a way to visually evoke the dreamlike sense of things being almost, but not quite, real. It is a technique called digital rotoscoping and, though it is not new in that it has been used for short projects like the interstitials Sabiston and Palotta made for MTV beginning in 1997, this is the first time it has been applied to an entire feature-length movie...
...Blake (Bruce Willis) is the hard guy. He proves this in Bandits' first minutes by stealing a concrete-mixing truck and using it to crash out of the Oregon state pen.

The lyrics go: "I know the reason/ That you talk behind my back/ I used to be among the crowd/ You're in with." Now that?s New York...
...versatility of OAR reflects a diverse group of influences, as evidenced by their four covers throughout their 17-song set. Most significant were Bob Marley’s “Lively Up Yourself” and Led Zepplin’s “D’yer Mak’er.” Also covered were Pearl Jam’s “Black” and the somewhat incongruous Simon & Garfunkel’s “59th Street Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy...
