In DVDs

Return of the Killer Tomatoes -- see George Clooney battle vegetables. Or are they fruit?

Killer Clowns from Outer Space -- not fruits or vegetables this time, but aliens. Clown aliens. But you probably guessed that from the title, huh?

Pirate Radio -- no killers in this one, although it stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, who played Truman Capote in another movie about the author's research and writing of In Cold Blood, a book about the crimes of two killers on death row. So, as you can see, there is a theme.

Pink Moon -- Nick Drake. At the time of its 1972 release, few paid attention to this third album by British singer-songwriter Drake. Two years later, the troubled artist was gone, the victim of an overdose, and his music drifted in relative obscurity, referenced occassionally by music critics or as an influence by bands like the Cure, R.E.M. and the Black Crowes, but largely unknown. Then in 2000, Volkswagon released a dreamy commercial featuring Drake's "Pink Moon," and the resulting popularity of the song brought Drake's music back into the spotlight. In the years since, his work has experienced a resurgence, his songs have popped up in films and commercials, and numerous documentaries have focused on the artist's enigmatic life.

La difference -- Salif Keita. Mali's most famous singer-songwriter overcame both the stigma of his albinism and rejection by those who viewed his singing career as an afront to his noble heritage (he is a direct descendant of the founder of the Mali empire). He left Mali in the mid-1970s during political unrest, gaining an international reputation with the band Les Ambassadeurs Internationale. In recent years, Keita established a foundation to assist and fight for the rights of albinos, who are often shunned or killed in Africa due to fear, superstition and traditions associating albinism with bad luck.

CD Blast from the Past: Master of Puppets/Metallica

That Metallica is being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 4 is no surprise. What is suprising is recent word that they will be joined by Jason Newsted, the former bassist whose departure in 2001 was anything but civil. Newsted joined Metallica after the 1986 death of Cliff Burton, killed in a horrific bus accident during the European leg of the band's Damage, Inc. tour. Which brings us to Master of Puppets, the last studio album to feature Burton and the band's first album to be certified gold. Will Newsted and his former bandmates play nice long enough to get through the ceremonies in Cleveland? Will he even show up? Who knows. But in the meantime, you can take a trip back to a kinder, gentler time with the album that helped make the boys a household name.
