New Ugliness in a Little Cabin of Horrors
Zack Carlson is a huge fan of the 1981 horror film “The Evil Dead.” That’s why he won’t be seeing the new “Evil Dead” when it opens on Friday. “I wouldn’t watch it at gunpoint,” said Mr. Carlson, a writer for the horror movie Web site Bleeding Skull. As “High Noon” is considered a fundamental western, “Evil Dead” is a seminal horror film, and for many fans, one not to be messed with. A story of possession set in a cabin in the woods, “The Evil Dead” was part of a wave of low-budget independent horror films in the late ’70s and early ’80s that used crude effects and guerrilla filmmaking techniques to tell a scary tale saturated in outrageous gore. It was directed by Sam Raimi, who went on to direct the Tobey Maguire “Spider-Man” films and “Oz the Great and Powerful.” The original has two follow-ups: “Evil Dead 2” (1987), a dark horror-comedy that’s effectively a remake of the original, and “Army of Darkness” (1992), a horror-adventure sequel to “Evil Dead 2.” “It was … [Read more...] about New Ugliness in a Little Cabin of Horrors
Los Angeles Jazz With Kamasi Washington and Others
A few weeks ago, the jazz tenor saxophonist Kamasi Washington stood onstage at a club in Hermosa Beach, Calif., with his band, the Next Step, ending a version of the ballad standard “My One and Only Love” with an improvised closing tag, like a group cadenza. But it sprung open a whole new chapter of the song. Mr. Washington’s playing spread through the group into a sustained volcanic surge, with a front line of two saxophones and trombone; Miles Mosley’s upright bass and Brandon Coleman’s keyboards run through distortion and wah-wah pedals; and two drummers, Ronald Bruner and Tony Austin, making enfolded, clattering patterns. A series of melodies and rhythms developed on the fly, with Mr. Washington building up to hoarse, Pharoah Sanders-like cries, and then the tailing off commenced Mr. Washington finished last. He closed up his solo in whispers, removed the horn from his mouth and pulled on the loose curls in his hair, smiling absent-mindedly. The unusual circumstances — a … [Read more...] about Los Angeles Jazz With Kamasi Washington and Others

Students Receive Subsidized Studies in Hungary — for a Price
BUDAPEST — Daniel Szabo and Gergo Birtalan are both optimistic about their job prospects in their native Hungary, which has a low unemployment rate for college and university graduates. But the two Hungarian students are in totally different situations. When Mr. Szabo, 24, graduates soon from law school, he will be free to go wherever in the world he wants. But Mr. Birtalan, 18, was required to sign a contract at the beginning of his first year as a sociology major because of a new rule introduced in September. As a beneficiary of the state-funded university system, he will be obliged to work for two years in Hungary for every year of his subsidized studies. Such contracts, the only ones of their kind in Europe, have met with broad opposition and street protests from both high school and university students. If Mr. Birtalan finishes a typical three-year degree, his movements will be restricted for six years after graduation, when he will be in his late 20s, or even older if he … [Read more...] about Students Receive Subsidized Studies in Hungary — for a Price
