BU Review Collection
Issue date: 3/16/10 Section: Scene
The 3-D IMAX was very but I think that this film would work just as well in a regular theater. But the Cheshire Cat effects is the biggest reason to see it in 3-D.

"THE OFFICE"
The hilarious spin-off of the acclaimed British show "The Office," is in the middle of their sixth season. With an amazing cast including Steve Carell, John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer, they poke fun at the 'typical' work environment.
The most recent episode follows Jim on his first day back from paternity leave. Jim's work nemesis Dwight takes over his desk, creating 'Mega-Desk' and Jim counteracts this with a prank of his own.
This 'mockumentary' on a group of everyday office workers-where the workday consists of personality clashes, inappropriate behavior and boredom-continues to be entertaining without being repetitive.
I now understand why this show is an award winning comedy and why it has a large fan following.

"SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGUE"
I am not going to lie, I had every doubt about this movie when I first saw the trailer for it. Come on, geeky guy meets a woman out of a herbal essence commerical, I wonder how this one is going to end.
Honestly, this movie surprised me and turned out to be a very cute comedy. It has the occastional bar joke, but it was a very enjoyable film.
The cast are practially character actors in their first starring role and it was very exciting to see Forman's mom from "That 70's Show," Debra Jo Rupp, playing the mother of the main character.

SPOON"
The indie- rock group Spoon's newest album "Transference," is different from the band's preceding six releases. "Transference," isn't the type of release fans of the band would expect. But then again in the past, Spoon has never been preoccupied with the current trends hitting the airwaves. "Written in Reverse," takes advantage of different rhythms and resembles the band's previous style. The beat is consistent and the band has strong vocal harmony.
In many ways, this is Spoon's most basic album yet. It's narrow and at times seems limited within the set cords being played. Most of the songs sound raw and un-edited, but these songs sound like the original samples and could have been cleaned up a bit.

"DUBFX"
Dubfx, the international electro-gypsy, released his first studio album, "Everythinks a Ripple" last January. While, the recordings retain the trippy feel of his live performances, the tracks are all too clean for the gritty artist.
The beats are overly synthesized and the processed vocals sound hollow compared to the soul of his sophomore live album, "Live In The Street." However, because the album was recorded in studio the album has a cohesive feel that was lost in the Dub's earlier work. All in all Dub has created an album that is perfect for chilling, but he has not broken any new ground with this album.
