John Keats famously wrote, A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness."" Ali Selim seems to have taken these words to heart in his first feature film, ""Sweet Land."" Set in 1920s rural Minnesota, the film is a study in beauty, wearing its nostalgia on its sepia-toned sleeve. All the elements are there: rustic baseball games, an old victrola pouring waltzes over the corn fields, midnight walks beneath the aurora borealis and a local priest who quotes""well""Keats of course. It's unfortunate that in a film of almost painterly beauty, Selim's narrative should plod along at such a glacial pace, making for a viewing experience that, appropriately enough, is about as interesting as watching paint dry.

From the opening notes of his sophomore album Time Is Money, it is clear Styles P is doing his best to set himself apart from the droves of gangsta rappers on the market. G-Joint"" begins as few hip-hop songs do, considering very few rap joints begin with the endearingly cheesy synths from Asia's ""Only Time Will Tell."" ""G-Joint's"" lyrics tie in to the absurd '80s sampling, name checking everything from Slick Rick to Rambo to the wonderfully dated Van Damme flick ""Bloodsport."" Though Styles P doesn't do much with the Asia sample other than put some grinding beats over it, he does make a convincing argument that so-bad-they're-amazing '80s songs have a future in rap music.
