Coens Make Poetry Out of Crime in `Fargo'
PETER STACK, Chronicle Staff Critic Published 4:00 am PST, Friday, March 8, 1996 The Coen Brothers, Ethan and Joel, return to the brilliant twistedness of their "Blood Simple" days with "Fargo," a crime gem that is darkly funny even when it's chilling -- and certain to become a classic. The film opens today at the Kabuki in San Francisco and spreads next Friday into other Bay Area theaters. "Fargo" is based on a true story, a crime-gone-haywire in 1987 Minnesota.
One `Return' Too Many / `Star Wars' finale has a bloated look
PETER STACK, Chronicle Staff Critic Published 4:00 am PST, Friday, March 14, 1997 RETURN OF THE JEDI SPECIAL EDITION: Science fiction. Starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams and Alec Guinness. Directed by Richard Marquand. (PG. 133 minutes. At the Coronet.) The Force is beginning to fizzle -- we've had too much "Star Wars" in this particular 1997 time warp.

Australia seems to be cornering the market for odd but delightful comedies laced with substance and romance. "Muriel's Wedding," out on video this week, is another bright example. Muriel Heslop (Toni Collette) is homely, overweight, ill-educated and jobless.

Timeless Music From `Buena Vista Club' / Wenders' documentary features Cuban legends
A poetry of love, longing and affirmation bleeds through the music of Cuba, and some of the best sounds the island ever created are captured with embracing humanity in "Buena Vista Social Club," the new documentary by Wim Wenders. The exceptional film opens today at the Embarcadero Center Cinema, the Shattuck in Berkeley, the Rafael Film Center in San Rafael and Camera 3 in San Jose.
The Surprisingly Strange Story of "Lapti Nek"
Crawdaddy wrote two posts back in 2011 about Lapti Nek, my favorite song from the OOT. The original hyperlinks are dead, but the articles have resurfaced on a Crawdaddy archive (see the hyperlink at the beginning of this post). I doubt anyone knows how long this archive will stay afloat, so I've decided to backup both articles here. I don't know if this counts as fair use, so I'll remove them if any copyright issues are raised. Until then...
Imaginations Run Wild / Kids interact with `Wild Things' at Metreon playground
Artist and author Maurice Sendak, famed for his children's books, disdains most high-tech things. So what to do with a Sendak-themed kids' attraction in a slick new entertainment center like Sony's Metreon? "I wanted something that would involve children with their hands and feet," said Sendak, 71. "It couldn't be like a computer game where they just sit there and everything happens in front of them. "What I wanted was theater.
