Smart, Sexy Dum Dum Girls 2/8

Write about what you know. That’s what they say. But that’s a lot easier said than done when what you know is very, very difficult to bear. That was the challenge Dum Dum Girls’ leader Dee Dee faced when writing the songs for the band’s moving second album Only in Dreams. “The first record was basically the first songs I’d ever written,” says Dee Dee, “and I was thinking nostalgically about being a teenager. This record, it was pretty much impossible not to write about very recent, very real things.”

This Week's Movie Reviews

Woman in Black is More Silly Than Scary

As a career/fan transition movie, The Woman in Black is effective. It gives Daniel Radcliffe a chance to do a grown-up role that has absolutely nothing to do with his being Harry Potter since he was 12 and, since it’s a PG-13 movie, it gives the fans that grew up with him a chance to see their hero slide gracefully out of his Hogwarts’ robes and into a role that doesn’t have him waving his wand around at the first sign of trouble.
