Spread out across both the United States and two continents, Narrows exists despite geographical inconveniences for the sole purpose of creating devastating noise.
Though outside obligations will most likely relegate the live Narrows experience to a truly rare event, the shared need to exorcise their collective demons fuels the trans-global project. Dave Verellen (Botch, Roy), Rob Moran (Unbroken, Some Girls, Over My Dead Body), Ryan Frederiksen (These Arms Are Snakes, Nineironspitfire), Jodie Cox (Tropics, Rohame, Bullet Union), and Sam Stothers (Makeout Boys, Quarantine) are busy men with busy lives.
The Narrows project is not meant to define and drive their individual lives. Rather, the band serves as a respite; a rare opportunity to escape; a vengeful howl from the basest corner of the psyche. In those rare moments when the five men find themselves in the same city, the quintet seizes the opportunity to combine their disparate talents to craft...

As the American Idol contestants draw closer to the finale, tonight they'll all be crooners singing the songs of 'Old Blue Eyes' Frank Sinatra with the help of mentor Harry Connick Jr who has written and will be playing the accompanying arrangements. Here is what the judges had to say... Aaron Kelly - 'Fly Me to the Moon' from It Might As Well Be Swing Randy: He was looking for who wants to win and he was worried, but he did a really good job. Ellen: Jokes that the piano is pitchy. She was worried too, but thinks it was beautiful. Kara: Wants him to "Fill up the stage more" and said it wasn't as good as last week. Simon: Agrees with Kara that "If Frank was a lion, [Aaron] was just a mouse." Still, he knows people like Aaron after he performs and the singer will be here next week.

In the tradition of such modern themes such as Elvis Presley week and Lennon/McCartney week, the American Idol Top 5 will take on the songs of Frank Sinatra next week. Some way of making contemporary artists out of these guys, right?
No, I'm not belittling next week's theme. In fact, I'm of the belief that today's songs will not stand the test of time as much as these classics have. It's no surprise why many of Old Blue Eye's songs are still being covered by artists today, including next week's mentor, Harry Connick, Jr. Also, many of his hits remain part of popular culture, a testament to his successful six-decade career, and his distinction as being one of pop music's first superstars.

BERLIN -- Stepping back from the bright colors and sentimentality of his signature films such as The Children of Heaven and Baran, veteran helmer Majid Majidi reverts to a plain country setting in The Song of Sparrows, a metaphor-driven tale of moral decline and redemption. The story, spiked with gentle humor, moves smoothly through the standard tropes of Iranian Art House cinema. The film's market strength can be gauged accordingly.
After the intellectualized sidestep of Weeping Willow, about a blind man who regains his sight and loses his soul, Majidi wisely heads back to stories about simpler folk with simpler problems that audiences can identify with. Here, the hero is the gruff, craggy-faced Karim (Reza Naji), a loving husband and father of three who is fired from his job on an ostrich farm when one of the birds scenically runs off into the hills.
There is little outright talk of God in this seventh film by the religious Majidi, yet everything seems to happen right on schedule to test Karim's faith. While he's on an errand in the city, a harried businessman jumps on his motorcycle, and Karim embarks on a new career as a taxi driver. The money is good but, as we know, the root of all evil, and as Karim's nest egg grows he starts to become contaminated by the distracted, dishonest city folk.
Observing the rich middle class and their homes that have everything, he is overcome with a burning desire to accumulate. What he brings home on his bike is literally junk, however, piled in the front yard like a giant trash heap. Unwilling to give away even the most useless items, he flies into a rage when he learns his wife has made a present of an Old Blue door, which he then carries home on his back across fields in pretty shots reminiscent of Samira Makhmalbaf's Blackboards.
The turning point will arrive when Karim's world of useless material objects collapses on top of him.
In the film's most original scenes, Majidi ably demonstrates how even innocent children can turn into rabid capitalists, ready to smash everything around them to protect their investment. The film's running subplot involves Karim's little son, Hossein, and the dream he shares with his friends to stock a well with fish and become a millionaire when they multiply. When the fish are accidentally lost, the boys go wild with grief and frustration until the newly sage Karim reminds them that "the world is a dream and a lie," heralding a return to joy and sanity for all.
Low-key, realistic performances from a mostly nonpro cast keep the story running smoothly. His face visibly stressed-out and hardened from loneliness as he detaches himself from family and friends, Naji gives the film a strong center.
Although toned down from the strong hues of the director's earlier films, the cinematography by Tooraj Mansouri is always striking and elegant.
