This raucous documentary of the 1999 Hard Knock Life Tour--featuring Jay-Z, DMX, Method Man, Redman, and other rappers--is chaotic and confusing, but that seems entirely appropriate. Life on tour is notoriously grueling, and this tour (with such an abundance of high-profile performers and support staff) proves to be no exception. Surprisingly, the egos of the performers seem reasonably under control; the driving motor of the entire event is Roc-A-Fella Records CEO Damon Dash, who rants to great effect--in one entertaining sequence, as someone fruitlessly tries to shave Dash's head, Dash vents at length about how everyone is wearing jackets publicizing Def Jam instead of Roc-A-Fella. Backstage depicts naked groupies, drug use, internal squabbles, and hardly a sentence goes by that isn't filled with obscenities or epithets, but the rappers come across as a surprisingly genial, friendly lot just enjoying themselves. Jay-Z is particularly charming, but rapper Beanie Sigel has the sharpest comments to make as he describes the treatment of demo tapes at record labels. Curiously, the concert footage only comes across in snippets, though it certainly communicates the flavor of the show. Backstage is unlikely to tell you anything you didn't know or already suspect about the touring life or rap music, but it depicts the experience vividly. --Bret Fetzer

One can always count on Steven Seagal to act as the repository of yesterday's action-film clichés, and Exit Wounds is yet another case in point. Seagal plays Detroit cop Orin Boyd, a lone wolf lawman who gets in the middle of his precinct's losing battle against police corruption. Taking on a powerful but crooked cop named Montini (David Vadim)--who is busy making deals with a rich gangster (DMX)--Boyd soon sends fists and feet flying while Tom Arnold provides the comic relief. Director Andrzej Bartkowiak surely had less fun guiding Seagal through slow-motion fight sequences than he did Jet Li in Romeo Must Die, but as compensation he gets to work with the mesmerizing DMX, who looks as though he has leading-man possibilities. Plenty of gratuitous gore, awful cop banter, and miles of cleavage courtesy of Jill Hennessy, who plays Boyd's tough-as-nails boss. --Tom Keogh

The Apollo DMX LED Color-Changing Controller is a dual-mode, custom programmable LED lighting control system for RGB lights. The Apollo Controller offers both DMX and PWM output, along with PC-compatible computer software that allows for user-friendly custom lighting programming. Unlike other color changing LED controllers on the market, the Apollo is able to output its signal either in DMX or via pulse width modulation (PWM) and has a memory to store your DMX commands. This RGB LED controller is the first of its kind in the LED lighting community and was engineered by Elemental. Dual control gives the Apollo the ability to command DMX devices, like RGB LED wall washers and color-changing PAR cans, and to drive three channels of PWM to control LED lighting fixtures like strip lights and light bars. The Apollo Controller System includes: DMX Controller with PWM function Software USB cable Elemental has developed computer software to be used in conjunction with the Apollo Controller. This software allows the user to visually design custom lighting scenes on the computer, load them into the Apollo, and then play them back through light fixtures without the computer. The software incorporates simple flowchart-style design and uses cues such as "Fade to Color" and "Pause on a Color" to construct scenes and create previews on the computer. With the Apollo System, custom lighting is only a few steps away. Setup and use of the Apollo Controller system is so simple, anyone can do it: Install the Apollo software onto your computer. Design up to 10 lighting scenes on your PC using Apollo software. Connect the Apollo Controller to your computer using a USB cable and transfer your customized lighting scenes to the unit.

Description

High-spirited "hooky" comedy from John Hughes stars Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller, an uber-popular Chicago high school student who recruits girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) and best pal Cameron (Alan Ruck) for an unauthorized day off on a beautiful spring day. Tooling around in Cameron's dad's Ferrari, the trio will have to stay one step ahead of tenacious dean of students, Edward R. Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) . With Jennifer Grey, Edie McClurg. 102 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby TrueHD 5.1, French Dolby Digital stereo Surround, Spanish Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH), French, Portuguese, Spanish; "making of" documentary; featurettes.

Like a soda pop left open all night, Bueller seems to have lost its effervescence over time. Sure, Matthew Broderick is still appealing as the perennial truant, Ferris, who fakes his parents out and takes one memorable day off from school. Jeffrey Jones is nasty and scheming as the principal who's out to catch him. Jennifer Grey is winning as Ferris's sister (who ends up making out in the police station with a prophetic vision of Charlie Sheen). But there's a definite sense that this film was of a particular time frame: the '80s. It's still fun, though. There's Ferris singing "Twist and Shout" during a Chicago parade, and a lovely sequence in the Art Institute. But don't get it and expect your kids to love it the way you did. Like it or not, it's yours alone. --Keith Simanton Stills from Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Click for larger image)
