Alice Cooper - Enmore Theatre Mon September 26


HORROR impresario Wes Craven (Nightmare on Elm Street, The Hills Have Eyes, Scream) proves that he is not just a one trick pony with this well constructed thriller. Lisa Reisert is a woman on a night fl ight


or “red eye” to Miami. She chats to the passenger next to her but soon discovers his friendly demeanour is a facade and his true motivation for his travel is to assassinate the deputy of Homeland Security. He demands Lisa help him carry out his plan, or he will see her father is killed with one phone call. As precious time slips by, Lisa must make a decision.


Cillian Murphy (The Dark Knight, Inception) is unsettling as the antagonist.


Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - Mirror Traffi c (Spunk)


on THE STEREO


INDIE rock hero, one-time Pavement front man and some-time Silver Jew Stephen Malkmus, returns with his fi fth solo eff ort and proceedings are as Slanted and Enchanted as ever. Produced by fellow indie stalwart Beck,


Mirror Traffi c is possibly one of the more accessible of Malkmus’ outings – if you’re thinking Pavement, think Shady Lane rather than Westing. This is a 15-track set of reasonably concise and direct pop that is still chock-full of the same angular guitar work that Malkmus’ fans have come to expect.


THE primal, penetrating power of Everett’s roots-music fusion, revving up from insinuation to howling gale force rock in a second, evokes the complex, vividly emotional and often


WITH an infamous stage show that has been known to feature anything from simulated executions to chopped-up baby dolls or the presence of live boa constrictors, guillotines, zombies and chickens, Alice Cooper’s performances are nothing short of iconic. As an artist, Cooper has been

overheated works of Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, Jim Morrison and Marvin Gaye, among others, precisely because it so plainly springs from the same sources of inspiration, contradiction and risk. Showcasing material from his acclaimed


Red Revelations album and soon-to-be-released follow-up Mr Good Times, Everett’s Australian tour will dish up a complete and proper-sized helping of the sly wit, mystery, sensuality, drop- dead charisma and musical substance fans have enjoyed so much in their weekly cablecast sample of him.


Joining him on all shows will be rootsy singer and songwriter Kirsty Akers, who will be showcasing songs from her forthcoming album Naked, which includes In Spite of Ourselves, a duet with Kevin Mitchell, otherwise known as Bob Evans (of hit-makers Jebediah and indie fave Basement Birds). Akers, a diminutive 23-year-old Hunter


performer, has gained a reputation for being fearless and brutally honest with a penchant for taking her songs to places others fear to tread. Catch them at Lizotte’s Newcastle on

infl uenced by, and in turn infl uenced, horror movies and garage rock and pioneered a spectacular, theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed with one purpose in mind – to shock. Alice Cooper is the master of the genre. The iconic performer, who championed


the concept of the rock concert as theatre, is returning to Australia for the fi rst time in three years for the Soundwave Revolution festival and is giving Sydney punters the chance to get a full dose of Cooper at the Enmore next month. Don’t miss it.


on DVD The Lincoln Lawyer


THE Lincoln Lawyer is a surprisingly taut crime-thriller that harks back to the days of John Grisham adaptations such as The Pelican Brief and Runaway Jury. Mickey Haller (Matthew


McConaughey) is a sleazy Los Angeles criminal defence lawyer who operates from the back of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Haller has spent most of his career defending garden- variety street criminals, until he lands the case of a lifetime – defending a Beverly Hills playboy (Ryan Phillippe) accused of murder. The seemingly straightforward case suddenly develops into a deadly game of survival for Haller. There are enough twists and turns in this solidly cast thriller to keep even the most jaded cinephile happy. William H. Macy and Marissa Tomei also star.
