ltut CIBfiil] Pnn$olls ftlu$lcllTRIBUTI0ll 0pHllll8 xlfiHT!David Ca{frey's gentle-spirited comedy-drama Grctd TheJI Parsons s based on a legendary rock'n'roll incident so

strmge ii could only haw happened in eal,v-70s Southem CaliJornia. This rollicking, nellol-rolliag film is a lightl)'fictionalized account of the pact made by country-rock icon Grm Parsoro md his wild-ass road manager Phii

Kaufnan: whoever died first would hare his body brought out to Joshua Tree National Monumen! in the SoCal desert,

by the one left alive. There, the corpse - prosumably still young and good-looking - would be set on firq thus settin6J the

spirit free...or something like that. People just did this sort of thing back then. On September 18th. 1973. Gram Parsons

fuifiiled the 'dynrg fust" part of the bargah. The cause was general overindulgence in alcohol and drugs. The fact thatParsons - late of the Byrds md the Flying Buito Brothers, compah'iot ol Keith Richmds and Emvlou Hanis - hadchecked out for good at age 26 wasn't surprising to myone who knerv him, md Kaufmm knew him better thmanyone. The story begins as Kaufinan, played with surpdsirrg grace and feeling by "Jackass" ringleader JohmyKnowille, gets the bad news only to find that he cm't spring Parsons'body from dre local hospital" Back in L.A., he's

confronted by Parsons' golddigging slrew of m ex-girlfriend, Brobta (Chrislha Applegate, pure heli-ol-wheels), mdfudher complications arise n'hen Parsons' straitlaced father Stanley (good old Robe* Forster) shows up to coilect hisson md fly with the body back to Nerv Orleans. Needless to say, this time Kaufmm won't relent md succeeds ingetting his grubby hq.4t on the coffin - and the chase is on. Hilarity and heartbreak, as they say, en-sue. The moviefeels like 1973 must have fell and dre sublime music certainl,v sounds like it. Top it off with a cameo by the real-life PhilKaufmarl and you've go1 a rock'n'roll road movie like no o*.her l4lherever he is, Grm should get a kick out o{ it.

As a huge zombie fan and a fan of the video game, I felt like I had to go see the first Resident Etilmovie in the theaters, even though I pretty much expected it to suck. I sat tiere watch.ing thebegiming, eating my popcom, getting all set to talk about $'hat they should have done better Andthen the vims got released in the office bidldin& people started dying and there was that bit w.ith dre

elevator md oh dim the movie just never let go after that monent. The only thing thai kept it ftombecoming one of the greatest zombie m(xies of all time was the daushophobic atmosphere frombeing in an underground fortress the whole time. But then there was the ending of the first filrr,$'hich I won't give arvay in this write up- except to repeat what I said to my friend when we left thetheater, "Oh my god, we hare to go see dlal again just to try to pressue the studio into actuallymakirg the sequel." Apparently my plm worked md this September Milla Jovovich will be back todeal a heaping helping of pain to the walking dead and some freaky mutmts that were always a painin the butt in the video games. The second movie picks up right where the first one left off, so we'll beshowhg them both back to back rvith the opshg credits of part two coming on imediately alterthe closing credits of part one have left the sceen. Time vour pe brealc accordingly. (Hemi Muza)
