AVANT-QUIRKYThe eccentric Chadbourne has long been an EMIT favorite. The guitarist, banjoist, noisemaker and alleged singer brings a welcome sense of levity and silliness to the stage. Chadbourne is a formidable guitarist when he wants to be, but seems intent on subverting his more straight-faced playing. He also likes to croak out standards like "I've…

The Sound And The FurryMy boyfriend of three months is adorable on every level, except for his beard, which he refuses to trim.

Guilty pulp noir pleasure
Like the Hellblazer comic book on which it's based, Constantine aims for a dense fusion of pulp noir and gothic horror and, for the most part, the movie pulls it off. Balanced neatly between the deadly serious and the tongue-in-cheek, the movie posits a vaguely timeless L.A. where angels, demons and assorted half-breed mutations are…
