Murder Ballads $13.98 Nick Cave’s been writing songs about killing and other evil things since he first surfaced in 1980 as the Birthday Party’s pale, skinny, goth-punk Jim Morrison. But the murder ballads that provide this set’s title are different, tantalizingly deliberate. Sure, there’s plenty of trademark Cave here, but Murder Ballads is a fascinating concept album that uses the narrative ballad form of the English… |

Alfie $8.19 Writer/director Charles Shyer’s reinvention of the beloved 60’s morality tale about a serial-womanizer’s quest for meaning in life is musically rooted in a voice that’s lived the experience: Mick Jagger. And if the Stones’ oft-cliched frontman seems a decidedly left-field choice as film scorer, his chemistry with collaborator/former Eurythmics musical spark Dave Stewart yields a surprisingly warm,… |

Never Been Kissed: Music From The Motion Picture $7.10 This odds ‘n’ ends mix of ’60s, ’70s, and ’90s pop clashes like an all-plaid tuxedo, so those with a stereo pre-programming function–or better yet, a remote–would be wise to rearrange this album’s songs in a less jarring manner. Unlike many teen flick soundtracks, Never Been Kissed tries hard to follow the film script’s championing of the underdog: There are no Everclears, no Alanises, just prim… |

No Such Thing $2.81 Writer-director Hal Hartley (Henry Fool, The Book of Life) has loosened his usual arch style, but the results are no less distinctive. Sarah Polley (Go, The Sweet Hereafter) plays Beatrice, a naive young reporter who is sent by a huge media conglomerate to investigate the disappearance of a camera crew in Iceland. Eventually she finds an immortal but depressed and alcoholic monster (Robert John Bu… |

Complete Kathy & Mo Show – Parallel & The Dark Side $7.22 Kathy Najimy (“King of the Hill”) and Mo Gaffney (“That ’70s Show”) shine in this collection of two hilarious performances. First, the award-winning HBO special “Kathy and Mo: Parallel Lives” (1991) examines the excitement and heartbreak of modern life by portraying such characters as elderly Jewish women and grief-stricken sisters. Next, “Kathy and Mo: The Dark Side” (1995) has the pair examining… |

The Purpose Driven Life $1.76 The spiritual premise in The Purpose-Driven Life is that there are no accidents—God planned everything and everyone. Therefore, every human has a divine purpose, according to God’s master plan. Like a twist on John F. Kennedy’s famous inaugural address, this book could be summed up like this: “So my fellow Christians, ask not what God can do for your life plan, ask what your life can do for God’… |
