Ending of week no.22


Lers record of the week: USHER-HERE I STAND----Usher, who turns 30 this yr, became a father and a husband last yr, and Here I Stand position him as a family man. Such declarations of devotion as the player-repenting 'Before I Met You' and the heartfelt, Donny Hathawayesque little track sound as if they were written in between his-and-hers massages on his honeymoon. Even the steamy stuff, like the creamy-smooth 'Love You Gently', is more abt getting it on with that one special lady. Musically Usher takes a more mature stance as well, leaning heavily---a little TOO heavily----on ballads. But some killer slow jams shld help him keep millions of other ladies happy too.

Lers movie of the week: INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL-The fourth chapter of the series abt the archaeologist-adventurer is familiar and comfy but lacks snap. Set in 1957, Jones(Ford) is 19 yrs older since we last saw him. Though he can still flick a whip with deadly verve, he's now a tad surprised when he outruns, jumps or punches the bad guys. Make that bad gal, as in a Russian military scientist(Blanchett) who thinks Indy can lead her to an ancient crystal skull in South America with possible supernatural powers. Soon Jones, accompanied by a new sidekick(LaBeouf) and an old flame(Karen Allen), is chasing thru the Amazon jungle, tumbling over waterfalls, dodging bullets, uncovering a secret tomb and more. Director Steven Spielberg and his capable cast try a little too hard to recapture old times, and the effort shows. For the younger generation, Shia LaBeouf might be the only reason to watch, otherwise this is just like a vintage version of National Treasure
