The church's organist, Olivier Latry, brings out the best in Messiaen and his French forerunners.
Paris in the first half of the 20th century -- at least up to 1940, when the Nazis invaded -- was indeed the city of light. The wattage of its (and its émigré) artists, writers, musicians and philosophers must have seemed downright blinding. Debussy, Stravinsky and Satie, with help from their friends, reinvented music; Gertrude Stein and Proust had their way with language; Picasso and Duchamp left enough work and ideas in the visual arts to keep us occupied for ages.

With raw psychedelic rock and Eastern and blues influences, the Entrance Band may open ears and minds.
When Los Angeles-based psychedelic rock trio the Entrance Band plays a show, it's a happening. Not only because band members take sound and style inspiration from the '60s counterculture that coined the term, as they demonstrated during a short set Sunday at the new Arthur Magazine Sunday Evenings music series at McCabe's in Santa Monica. But also because their music creates the feeling that something fresh and powerful is afoot. A potent mix of political mindedness -- including a few conspiracy theories -- and musical virtuosity, their songs throb and wail and strive to open minds.

Rudd's presence detected, but film's charms are still ephemeral
I've read poker described as a game of "incomplete information." That's how it is with acting. It, too, is a game of incomplete information. We think we know what to expect from a performer's on-screen persona, but the good actors--the ones interested in surprising us, while serving the story--find ways to withhold information that would explain too much, or hit a characterization too squarely on the nose.

361. 'The 400 Blows' -- 4 stars / 'Antoine and Colette' -- 3 1/2 stars (both directed by Francois Truffau
Francois Truffaut's feature, short retain their Gallic ability to charm
Shot in supple black and white in widescreen Dyalscope, Francois Truffaut's 1959 masterwork "The 400 Blows" seems forever young. Why? Partly because of its casting; partly because Truffaut knew how to communicate to an audience eager for unsentimental sentiment and a taste of the streets; and partly because the so-called New Wave dreamed into reality by Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol and others may be fixed in a specific time of the 20th Century, but its most vivid pictures drink, eternally, from the fountain of youth.

"It's a bleak song, but we're going to play it beautifully," quipped songwriter Joe Henry on Saturday at the Old Town School of Folk Music while introducing "Parker's Mood." He didn't disappoint. Backed by a crack two-piece rhythm section and performing the first of a two-show engagement, the singer-guitarist turned in a striking 80-minute set steeped in soulful ruminations and spare melodies.

For rocker David J, the doomed Sedgwick serves as muse anew.
IF Edie Sedgwick were alive today, odds are she'd be the subject of her own reality show. The original celebutante was a gorgeous, rail-thin socialite who left her wealthy, dysfunctional Santa Barbara family for a modeling career and the gritty allure of the underground scene in 1960s New York. Pop art icon Andy Warhol adopted Sedgwick as his muse and companion, but like so many in his entourage, she succumbed to addiction and, in 1971, she died from what was ruled an accidental overdose of alcohol and barbiturates at age 28.

382. 'Unhitched'
A post-"Seinfeld" pals-comedy (in the classic proportion of three males to one female), Fox's "Unhitched" has the distinction, if that's the right word, of being executive produced by the Farrelly brothers, of "Dumb and Dumber," "There's Something About Mary" and "Shallow Hal" fame. The Farrellys, who directed the pilot episode as well, have not gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. Or let me put that more kindly: Their patented blend of romantic comedy and stupid ickiness serves the people's need for gross humor not devoid of "heart." I expect there are those who will regard "Unhitched" as a riotous good time from the nearly opening moment when Jack, also known as "Gator" (Craig Bierko), is raped by a date's pet monkey. It was a good date up until then, though.
