Review The Negatives / Lloyd Cole & The Negatives:Lloyd Cole and the Negatives came about when perennial unshaven intellectual and melancholic rocker Lloyd Cole briefly deserted the music that endeared him to James-Joyce-reading bedsit students everywhere. He dropped the jangling, shimmering guitar pop of "Rattlesnakes" in favour of lush, more string-sweetened outings like 1991s Don't Get Weird On Me Babe. Come the new decade, comes a new band and a new sound. The Negatives boast guitarists Jill "I Kissed A Girl" Sobule and Michael Kotch (Eve's Plum), and ably complement Cole's maturing song writing style. The resulting album is a pleasing mix between his previous musical forays, from romantic tearjerkers ("That Boy", string arrangements courtesy of Anne Dudley) to memorably perky pop songs ("What's Wrong With This Picture?", assists from Fountains Of Wayne's Adam Shlesinger). The "Ulysses" contingent won't be disappointed. -Jerry Thackray.

Review Space Jam [1997] / Warner Home Video:Although at first glance it looks like a movie dreamed up by a marketing committee (and in some respects it probably was), Space Jam actually defies the odds against it to become a dazzling display of family entertainment. There's a kind of demented genius to the idea of casting NBA superstar Michael Jordan in a live-action and animated movie co-starring the beloved characters from Warner Bros' Looney Tunes cartoons. They play off each other like seasoned veterans of vaudeville, and Jordan never falls into the kind of awkward, amateurish showmanship that you might expect from a sports idol. He's comfortable in the cartoon land of his co-stars, who include Bugs Bunny and sexy newcomer Lola Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Sylvester & Tweety, Speedy Gonzalez, the Tazmanian Devil, Foghorn Leghorn, and Yosemite Sam. They've all been hijacked to an outer-space amusement park run by the Nerdlucks, who strike a Faustian bargain with the Warners' heroes: if Bugs and Co. can defeat the Nerdluck "Monstars" in a basketball game, they'll win back their freedom; if they lose, they'll be doomed to stay there forever as enslaved entertainers. So they kidnap Jordan as their coach and "secret weapon" while the nefarious Nerdlucks suck out the basketball skills from such stellar victims as Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing. It all leads to reckless abandon on the basketball court, and Bill Murray pops in for some hilarious support. Combining traditional animation and computer-generated Nerdlucks with its live-action cast, Space Jam was made in the anarchic spirit of the original cartoons, where anything goes as long as it's funny and off-the-wall (or the ceiling, or the door, or the floor. [+]). Technically astounding, it's also witty enough to entertain adults and kids alike. -Jeff Shannon, Amazon. com.

Review Spider-Man - The Ultimate Villain Showdown / Spider-Man:The action comes thick and fast in Spider-Man-The Ultimate Villain Showdown as the web-slinging hero faces a host of fearsome foes, not least of which is his own torturous self-doubt. Kingpin, Dr Octopus and the Green Goblin all put in spirited performances in these animated tales from the 1990s, while a flashback to Spider-Man's origins ties the action together neatly. The writing is somewhat heavy-handed in places and the animation cranky, but the four featured episodes are pacy, the villains suitably evil and a hint of darkness lends a pleasing frisson to the drama. On the DVD: there's limited bonus material on the DVD but what's there is generally worthwhile and entertaining. In addition to an extra episode, "Return of the Green Goblin", a "Rogues Dossier" gives an interactive guide to Spider-Man's foes with statistics, trivia and video interviews with our hero's creator Stan Lee. Lee crops up again in the highlight of the bonus material, "Stan Lee's Soapbox", an engaging 20-minute insight into all things Spidey from a man who obviously loves his job. -Helen Baker.
