The undisputed king of electric
blues is scheduled to play to a
packed audience Friday night at
Centennial Hall.

BB King is one of the most well-
known living blues musicians in
the world, and certainly the most
famous person to ever come out
of the tiny town of Itta Bena,
Miss.

The 2000 census pegged Itta
Bena's population at about 4,000
residents living within a 1.5
square mile area.

Yet the town still managed to
make it into the 2000 Coen
brothers film, "O Brother, Where
Art Thou?"

In the movie, a notorious
gangster terrorizing the the
Deep South stops George
Clooney's character Everett and
his crew and asks them how to
get to Itta Bena.

Name the gangster and the
actor who played him for a
chance to win a set of three
cookbooks.

Italian director takes evil to new depths

For Italian splattermaster Dario Argento, there are no boundaries. "Mother of Tears," one of his few recent films to have made theatrical rounds in the United States, proves how badly he needs them.
Not disgusted by a blood-gushing disembowelment? Well how about a throat-slitting murderess who turns the knife on herself after the fact? Or maybe a couple eye gouges?
A grotesque, intentionally offensive girl-on-the-run sex-and-slaughter flick, "Mother of Tears" seems determined to offend you and gross you out no matter the cost.
The lead is Argento's daughter, Asia — the star of three of Dario's other films — as Sarah, an American student in Rome who accidentally unlocks the spirit of an evil witch who causes mass suicides and an influx of worshippers. Sarah scrambles to scuttle the threat, which systematically kills her friends and associates.
The movie is billed as the completion of Argento's trilogy — the other two films are "Suspiria" (1977) and "Inferno" (1980) — and the distinction is important because only Argento fans hard-core enough to have seen and loved the first two films will be able to tolerate this bloodthirsty, aimless mess.
Like the unspeakable evil the film represents, "Mother of Tears" should be locked away for the sake of mankind.
