NINJA ASSASSIN : return of the ninja

Trained since childhood to be a lethal killer, Raizo has since turned his back on the Ozunu clan that raised him and now seeks revenge for their heartless murders. Teaming up with Europol investigator Mika, Raizo steadily butchers his enemies while inching ever closer to the long-awaited bloody reunion with his former master.

Ninja Assassin opens with a scene of such unmitigated gore as to classify itself more as splatter film than action flick. As it progresses, it develops into more of the latter without ever becoming good at either genre, growing as generic and redundant as its title.

CELEBRATION : latest greatest hits album from Madonna

Celebration is another greatest hits album from Pop Diva Madonna, and released by Warner Bros. Records, her record company since 1982. The release follows her two previous greatest hits albums, The Immaculate Collection (1990) and GHV2 (2001). The compilation was released in many different formats including a one disc edition and a deluxe double disc. A compilation DVD, entitled Celebration: The Video Collection, was released to accompany the audio versions. The album includes three new tracks, the title track, “Revolver” (featuring Lil Wayne) and the bonus track on some editions “It’s So Cool”.

Celebration was appreciated by contemporary critics who noted the vastness of Madonna’s back-catalogue. The album debuted at the top of the charts in the United Kingdom, Italy and Ireland. Madonna is tied with Elvis Presley to have the most number-one albums as a solo artist in the United Kingdom, though this tally also includes the soundtrack album Evita which features other artists. In other nations, it debuted within the top-ten. The title track was released as the first single of the album. It became Madonna’s fortieth number-one song on Billboard’s dance chart

Either the 2000s have been good to Madonna, or Madonna has been good in the 2000s. Since Music hit nearly ten years ago, she has sounded so much more convincing as a dancing queen than she ever did as, say, Evita, and that’s taking her Timbalake disasterpiece into account. Still, her decade-capping “Celebration”, produced by Paul Oakenfold, sounds like it’s conjuring several of her younger selves­– specifically the Desperately Seeking Susan starlet who wore her bra outside her shirt and spray-painted that dude’s car. Madonna commands boys to step to the beat just like she did on “Into the Groove”, and that canned laughter on the bridge is right out of the Jellybean Benitez playbook, as is the song’s modest goal of just making people move.
