This week’s review-<BR>
<BR>
</B><FONT COLOR="#800000"><H2>DIG!<BR>
</H2></FONT><BR>
Written, edited, produced and directed by Ondi Timoner <BR>
Running time: 105 minutes<BR>
This film is not rated. Advisory: Profanity and brief nudity.<BR>
<BR>
The film received the Documentary Grand Jury award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.<BR>
<BR>
<B><I><U>As reviewed by A. O. Scott writing for the New York Times<BR>
</U></I></B><BR>
''Dig!'' a new documentary by Ondi Timoner, gives a cinéma vérité spin to the endlessly fascinating pop-music soap opera formula of VH1's ''Behind the Music.''<BR>
<BR>
Ms. Timoner's film traces the linked fortunes of not one band but two -- the Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre.<BR>
<BR>
For seven years, she followed both bands, interviewing their members and capturing their on- and off-stage triumphs and catastrophes, and a result is one of those heaven-sent narratives, like ''Hoop Dreams'' or ''Startup.com,'' in which the contingency and chaos of events coalesce into a resonant and satisfying story. <BR>
<BR>
If universities ever start graduate programs in rock stardom, ''Dig!'' will surely be a cornerstone of the curriculum, for it works as both an instruction manual and a cautionary tale. It's like an extended gloss on that exuberant, cynical Byrds song that begins, ''So you wanna be a rock 'n' roll star, well listen now, to what I say . . . '' <BR>
<BR>
<B><I><U>As reviewed by Joel Selvin writing for the San Francisco Chronicle<BR>
</U></I></B><BR>
Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre doesn't receive the most ringing endorsements from his friends. "He's more than just a jerk," says his record company president, Greg Shaw. <BR>
<BR>
But he remains a subject of intense fascination for Courtney Taylor of the Dandy Warhols, the alt-rock band from Portland, Ore., that plays the Beatles to the Brian Jonestown Massacre's Rolling Stones for the duration of the rather remarkable rockumentary, "DiG!" <BR>
<BR>
Shot over the course of seven years and culled from a staggering 1,500 hours of footage, the movie follows the twin paths of the two indie rock bands, as they bob and weave along the stumbling path to rock stardom. The Warhols - - the self-described "most well-adjusted band in the world" -- clearly defer to nobody in their admiration of "mad genius" Newcombe, a sociopath musician who is performing songs from his 12th album (he released three albums in one year alone) with new associates as the movie ends, after his long- suffering band finally dissolved. <BR>
<BR>
Filmmaker Ondi Timoner followed the entangled rise of these two bands from the Pacific Northwest with an obsessive compulsive's eye for detail. Every ugly moment is on the screen -- from the onstage fistfights to the Georgia roadside marijuana bust -- as the two bands seek their respective fortunes. "We're a lucky band," says one of the Warhols. "They're an unlucky band." <BR>
<BR>
While it may be tempting to read "DiG!" as a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of creativity and the modern record business, or an allegory about commerce (the Warhols) versus art (the Massacre), the film's centrifuge actually is Newcombe himself. Self-absorbed, semi-delusional, entirely unrepentant, Newcombe is not only a never-ending source of fascination for his friendly rivals the Warhols -- who nevertheless wind up talking about getting a restraining order to keep him away -- but also the lurching, flailing driving wheel of this movie. <BR>
<BR>
<B><I><U>Marrit Ingman writing for the Austin (Texas) Chronicle<BR>
</U></I></B><BR>
It’s 1995. Anton Newcombe, the brains and heart behind the band the Brian Jonestown Massacre, is unspooling a tape by his friends, fellow 1960s pop-rock revivalists the Dandy Warhols. "We’re going to take over the world," he grins into the camera. For the next seven years, director Timoner followed both groups on this so-called revolution: from crash pads to signing parties; from video shoots to pot busts in Homer, Ga.; and from innocence to experience. <BR>
<BR>
The film is so candid and real that it’s like watching a friend slip into the morass of addiction, obsession, and pig-headed self-absorption. Unsurprisingly, it gets a little raw at times, despite slick postproduction and savvy editing that set the film to the head-rush pace of "Every Day Should Be a Holiday." <BR>
<BR>
What’s best is that even though the story is set among tragic hipsters – behold Joel Gion, BJM’s mutton-chopped, photogenic tambourine man – its take on friendship and ambition is without irony. Taylor seems to like being filmed, but nobody’s really posing here. There’s a genuine sense of loss when dreams go unrealized, and in these moments DiG! transcends the typical "rock movie" format and aspires to something greater: an examination of why we create and what we receive from art. <BR>

<FONT COLOR="#FF0000"><B>Ladder 49</B></FONT><B><FONT COLOR="#181512"> Movie for Moscow Volunteer Fire Department<BR>
</FONT></B><BR>
<FONT COLOR="#181512">The Moscow Volunteer Fire Department, as part of its annual fund drive, is proud to present a special showing of<I> Ladder 49</I>, at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Center on <B>March 4, 2005, at 7:00 pm</B>. This dramatic movie follows the Baltimore Firefighters as they save lives and property fighting fires. The movie provides a very realistic portrayal of what it takes to be a firefighter.<BR>
</FONT><BR>
<FONT COLOR="#181512">Tickets are available from the receptionist at Station Three, 229 Pintail Lane, adjacent to Highway 95-north during business hours; BookPeople in downtown Moscow, or one of your friendly firefighters or EMTs. One of the 86 volunteers may be your neighbor; you may obtain your ticket from him or her. Tickets are $10.00 in advance, $12.00 at the door. There are only 300 seats available, so purchase accordingly. If you cannot attend, but wish to contribute, please visit Station Three or mail your check to: Moscow Volunteer Fire Department, 229 Pintail Lane, Moscow ID 83843.<BR>
</FONT><BR>
<FONT COLOR="#181512">In 2004, your firefighters and EMTs volunteered for 8,335 hours of training– a determined commitment. Support of a paid department comparable to Moscow’s City and Rural organization would cost taxpayers approximately 3.5 million dollars. The training and performance record of your volunteer department is essential to maintaining the Class Three insurance rating obtained through a focused effort of preparedness. That rating means lower insurance premiums for residents and businesses. <BR>
</FONT><BR>
<FONT COLOR="#181512">The performance record of Moscow’s city and rural volunteer department is comparable to many paid departments. The more than 4,500 hours donated to the community for responses to fire and ambulance calls in 2004, is in addition to these volunteers’ training hours.<BR>
</FONT><BR>
<FONT COLOR="#181512">The volunteers’ budget supports the resident program, which is building the foundation of our growing accredited training program. The availability of these residents at night increases our response times to nighttime calls. Twenty-six University of Idaho students volunteer for the department, meet the training hours standard, and keep up with their university responsibilities. The upkeep of Station One, downtown, is also funded by the volunteers’ budget.<BR>
</FONT><BR>
<FONT COLOR="#181512">Our budget depends on fund raising. As you depend on us, we depend on you. Please join us at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Center to support and honor Moscow’s firefighters and EMTs. Your ticket purchase will help us reach our goal of $70,000.<BR>
