This past weekend thousands flocked to the theaters to find out. Not counting the Star Wars trailer and Wing Commander, The Matrix is the first sci-fi offering of the year. Directed by the Wachowski brothers, former writers for Mar vel comics and directors of the 1996 independent hit Bound, the two combined elements from many forms of underground cul ture to create The Matrix. The film also boasts an excel lent soundtrack that complements the movie perfectly and adds to the overall feeling, a rarity for film soundtracks which rely on popu lar artists. Actually, the soundtrack is more of a personal compilation, by the Wachowski brothers, of cool tunes since about only half the songs ap pear in the movie. The soundtrack has older tunes from Rage Against the Machine, Deftones, Monster Magnet and Rammstein as well as newer ones from Marilyn Manson, Ministry and Propellerheads. Lesser known acts like Rob D, Meat Beat Manifesto, Lunatic Calm and Hive have some of the best tracks on the album. The Matrix soundtrack is a great al bum by itself, and the songs add to the film in general, making the entire movie a cool experience. (Grade: A) CMT has made another at tempt to market albums com piled from recent work by al ready established country artists. Each compilation produced offers nothing more than the same songs overplayed on their television network. Rarely does CMT offer any thing original or on the edge of country music. Featured on this album are singers Sara Evans, Martina McBride, Mindy McCready and Lorrie Morgan. Not to underesti mate the ability of these women — it can be said their talents are great. The problem with Girl’s Night Out is the inability of the producers to choose any of their lesser-known work that has not been featured on the CMT top ten countdown in the past three years. The vocal ability of each of these ladies is immense, and some of their less-known work deserves a chance to be spot lighted in project like this. It seems as though those in charge of the final product were more interested in the ladies looking good for a cover shoot. If producers had spent as much time selecting music as they had doing the artists make up, the effort would have been more worthwhile. (Grade: C-) - Kyle Whitacre - Megan E.
