New
albums
soon
to
be
6I5COMBE
ROAD
released
by
Kevin
Scofield,
staff
writer
The
wait
is
finally
over!
Pearl
Jam's
new
album,
titled
Vitalogy
is
coming
out.
Although
rumours
have
been
floating
around
that
it's
being
released
in
November,
it
won't
be
out
until
December
6.
The
band
has
been
through
a
lot
this
last
year,
fighting
with
Ticket
Master
and
firing
their
extremely
incredible,
divine,
holy-s!t-you're-good
drummer.
But
they've
finally
talked
their
label
into
letting
them
release
it
before
1995.
Again,
there
probably
won't
be
any
videos,
but
you
never
know.
Hey!
Maybe
they'll
even
tour
this
year.
Wouldn't
that
be
great!
In
promotion
for
the
new
album,
the
first
single
is
being
released
sometime
in
the
beginning
of
November.
By
the
way,
the
new
album
is
an
import,
meaning
it
is
not
being
distributed
in
Canada.
So
if
you
want
to
make
sure
you
get
a
copy,
special
order
it.
Nirvana
is
also
releasing
it's
MTV
Unplugged
show
on
CD
this
November.
Featuring
live
songs
from
all
three
of
their
albums
(Incesticide
is
just
a
rarities),
and
special
guests
the
Meat
Puppets,
it's
sure
to
be
a
great
album.
Cobain's
dead,
but
the
music's
alive,
and
so
is
DGC's
greed
for
making
as
much
money
as
possible
from
the
band.
Finally,
Grapes
of
Wrath
fans
will
be
thrilled
to
know
that
Nettwerk
Records
is
releasing
a
"Best
Of
album,
filled
with
their
classics
and
hopefully
unreleased
tracks.
It
was
a
tragedy
when
the
Grapes
broke
up,
and
unfortunately
Ginger
isn't
quite
as
good.
So
keep
your
eyes
open
for
the
new
albums.
by
A.
Hooper
When
I
was
asked
to
attend
the
English
Lecture
Series
and
interview
Cecil
Giscombe,
I
almost
panicked.
I
had
never
done
an
interview
before
and
I
must
admit
I
was
a
little
nervous.
Mr.
Giscombe
is
a
writer
and
an
English
professor
at
Illinois
State
University
where
he
teaches
creative
writing
and
African
American
Literature.
I
felt
a
little
overwhelmed.
But
as
we
started
talking
about
the
grizzly
bear
maulings
in
the
area
I
felt
a
little
better.
We
discussed
the
wild
life
in
the
region
and
when
the
snow
was
off
the
road
so
that
he
could
get
back
on
his
bike
(He
rode
up
from
Vancouver
to
PG
on
his
bicycle
in
1991.
An
adventurous
undertaking).
So
this
published
writer
and
English
professor
was
not
a
bad
guy.
Who
says
English
has
to
be
boring!
His
poetry
publications
include:
-Postcards
(1977)
-At
Large
(1989)
-Here
(1994)
There
is
another
book
in
the
works
entitled
"Giscome
Road"
which
will
be
published
later
this
year.
When
Mr.
Giscome
found
out
about
a
small
settlement
that
went
by
the
name
of
Giscome,
he
decided
to
do
some
checking.
The
town
was
named
after
John
Robert
Giscome,
a
miner
and
prospector.
Could
the
founder
of
this
small
community
possibly
be
a
relation?
As
it
turns
out
he
probably
isn't
but
nobody
is
certain.
It
is
an
intriguing
story.
Mr.
Giscombe
will
be
in
Prince
George
during
our
spring
semester
on
a
Full
Bright
Scholarship.
He
says
he
is
looking
forward
to
being
in
our
great
city
of
P.G.
He
will
also
be
doing
more
research
in
the
matter
of
John
Robert
Giscome.
So
go
to
the
English
lectures.
They
are
very
interesting
and
you
just
might
learn
something
new.
MUSIC,
MOVIE
AND
BOOK
REVIEWS
by
J.
Verheul,
and
D.
Bliss
Ok....It's
the
third
issue
and
we
are
almost
into
the
swing
of
things.
Our
format
is
solid,
our
review
system
is
in
place,
damn,
I
think
something
is
missing.
What
could
it
be?
You
guessed
it,
sponsors!
We
just
can't
seem
to
get
any
takers.
A
third
issue
paid
out
of
our
own
pockets.
Sorry,
no
book
this
week
(John's
a
little
behind
in
his
work),
instead,
we
have
for
you
two
movies.
Hopefully
in
the
next
week
we'll
have
something
solid,
until
then,
on
with
the
reviews:
MUSIC
Sinead
O'
Connor
"
Universal
Mother".
DERYK:
I
will
admit
that
I
was
leery
going
into
this.
I
am
not
the
biggest
Sinead
O'
Connor
fan
in
the
world.
On
this
album,
however,
I
was
pleasantly
surprised.
The
first
single,
"
Fire
On
Babylon",
(
an
angry
attack
on
her
Catholic
upbringing)
is
great.
After
listening
to
that
song
I'm
convinced
this
women
has
the
best
voice
in
music
today.
Other
notables
include
"
Famine",
a
telling
of
her
version
of
the
great
famines
that
hit
Ireland
in
the
18th
century,
a
fantastic
cover
of
Nirvana's
"All
Apologies",
and
"
A
perfect
Indian".
But
the
album
is
a
little
repetitive.
All
the
songs
seem
to
sound
the
same
except
for
the
ones
I
mentioned
before.
Overall
this
a
good
album
and
Sinead
O'
Connor
fans
will
definitely
want
to
add
this
one
to
their
collection.
If
you've
never
listened
to
her
before
this
a
great
album
to
give
Ms.
O'
Connor
a
listen.
I'm
giving
"Universal
Mother"
three
stars
out
of
five.
JOHN:
Here
we
go,
violent
bias
alert.
Despite
my
liking
the
first
single,
the
song
"Fire
on
Babylon",
it
alone
can't
make
up
for
Sinead
O'Connor
herself.
I
just
don't
like
her
or
any
of
her
past
musical
offerings.
Admittedly,
I
may
be
selling
her
a
little
short.
This
album
is
better
than
the
last,
but
in
order
to
protect
you,
the
consumer,
I
have
to
warn
you
about
crap.
The
only
good
thing
she
has
ever
done
was
ripping
up
a
picture
of
the
Pope
on
national
television.
So,
with
this
all
in
mind
"Universal
Mother"
gets
the
big
two
out
of
five.

CINEMA
Stargate
Kurt
Russell,
James
Spader,
Jaye
Davidson
D.
Mario
Kosar
DERYK:
The
Mario
Kosar
machine
Terminator,
Terminator
2)
gets
rolling
with
this
latest
science
fiction
offering
to
start
off
the
highly
competitive
Christmas
movie
season.
The
story
revolves
around
an
Ancient
Egyptian
cover
stone
found
in
1928.
Underneath
is
a
device
that
no
one
has
ever
seen
before.
The
Stargate.
In
present
day
the
army
and
the
archaeologists
are
trying
to
figure
the
thing
out.
The
army
re-activates
Russell(
Tombstone
)
and
the
archaeologists
call
in
Spader
who
conviently
deciphers
the
signs
on
the
wheel
that
none
of
the
other
archaeologists
can.
The
gate
gets
opened
and
the
army
sends
the
team
headed
by
Russell
and
Spader
to
find
out
what's
on
the
other
side.
They
find
themselves
on
a
world
that
represents
Ancient
Egypt
ruled
by
the
ever
androgynous
Davidson
(
The
Crying
Game
).
This
is
a
rather
pointless
acting
vehicle
as
there
is
no
acting
to
do.
This
is
a
science
fiction
movie
that
means
effects
and
Stargate
delivers.
The
natives
of
Stargate
even
speak
Egyptian
instead
of
conviently
speaking
English.
However,
the
plot
is
paper
thin
and
the
story
would
go
nowhere
without
the
effects.
Stargate
is
a
movie
with
great
homages
to
the
Ancient
Egyptians
and
even
to
the
Star
Wars
trilogy
(
there's
even
an
Ewokian
village
and
a
George
Lucas
ending).
I
give
this
movie
three
stars
out
of
five.
JOHN:
I
loved
this
movie!
The
cast
was
excellent,
the
special
effects
we
amazing,
and
the
art
direction
unbelievable!
I
personally
think
this
outweighs
the
silly
acting
and
the
dopey
plot.
James
Spader
plays
the
half
crazy
scientist,
and
Kurt
Russell
plays
the
grizzled,
emotionally
bent
commando.
But
growing
up
with
movies
such
as
Star
Wars,
these
sort
of
thin
characters
are
near
and
dear
to
my
heart.
With
these
two
extremes,
the
excellent
effects,
and
the
crappy
plot,
to
find
a
to
find
a
rating
we
are
forced
to
average
the
highs
and
the
lows.
I
give
this
movie
four
stars
out
of
five.

Frankenstein
Kenneth
Braghnagh,
Robert
DeNiro,
John
Cleese
d.
Kenneth
Braghnagh
DERYK:
Having
read
Mary
Shelly
's
book,
I
went
into
this
movie
expecting
a
overdramatic,
oversensual
adaptation.
This
js
afterall
the
same
group
who
ruined
Bram.
Stoker's
Dracula
a
few
years
ago.
With
Frankenstein,
however,
the
job
is
done
much
better
this
time
around.
The
cast
is
excellent
with
Braghnagh
starring
as
Victor
Frankenstein.
He
makes
a
good
driven
scientist
and
really
does
bring
the
frenzied
pace
of
Dr.
Frankenstein's
experiments
in
the
novel.
John
Cleese
takes
a
different
role
as
the
doctor
who
nearly
accomplished
what
Frankenstein
eventually
does.
Cleese
is
great
in
this
rare
dramatic
role.
The
real
suprise
is
DeNiro
who
potrays
the
monster
with
all
the
emotions
and
character
of
the
monster
in
the
book.
As
John
will
tell
you,
this
movie
kept
us
in
our
seats
the
whole
time
and
I
didn't
think
of
leaving
at
anytime
either.
If
you
liked
the
novel
I
think
you
will
find
the
movie
good
as
well.
If
you
haven't
read
the
book,
its
a
good
bet
you
will
find
it
enjoyable
anyways.
I
am
giving
Frankenstein
four
stars
out
of
five.
JOHN:
Frankenstein,
all
in
all
a
pretty
good
movie.
Not
having
read
the
book,
I
don't
really
have
anything
to
compare
it
to
except
the
old
"Bolts
in
the
Neck"
Monster.
The
fact
that
the
monster
looks
truly
scary
is
enough
to
make
this
movie
superior
to
it's
predecessors.
The
cast
is
really
good,
they
even
manage
to
express
feeling,
but
like
all
movies,
there
must
be
some
suspension
of
disbelief.
At
a
whopping
two
hours
long,
I
didn't
even
think
of
leaving
my
seat,
and
at
the
Odeon,
that
stands
for
something.
I
give
this
movie
three
stars
out
of
five.
