A3′s theme “Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One Mix)” gets things off to a lively start, as does bluesman R.L. Burnside’s “It’s Bad You Know” (from his C… |

My Blue Heaven $3.02 The idea is clever but the movie can’t seem to pull its comic weight: Steve Martin plays a mob informer who is placed in the witness-protection program and doesn’t fit into the suburban California life the Feds have picked out for him. Rick Moranis is the FBI agent assigned to protect him. Martin mugs his way through the role of an Italian wise guy from the New York streets, but his performance is… |
