Rockabilly, blues, jazz - delightful Dublin diva Imelda May put everything but the kitchen sink on the Moore Theater’s stage. Seattle hepcat Steve Stav was there to admire it all.

“How High The Moon,” indeed. Imelda May’s tribute to Les Paul & Mary Ford - with Jeff Beck along for the ride - not only caused quite a sensation at the Grammys, it opened America’s eyes and ears to an Irish singing sensation on the rise. Steve Stav recently talked to Ms. May about her big night, guitar god Beck, and her upcoming U.S. tour.

Tragically, The Knack’s career has come to a close with the passing of frontman/ songwriter/ guitarist Doug Fieger on Valentine’s Day 2010. Steve Stav remembers the man, resurrecting this interview conducted for Ink 19 a few days after Fieger’s 53rd birthday in 2005.

Cross of Iron. The Dirty Dozen. The Devil’s Brigade. The Guns of Navarone. Does Quentin Tarantino’s ambitious new WWII flick deserve to join such esteemed company? War-movie buff and Tarantino fan Steve Stav casts his vote.

My Maudlin Career (4AD). Review by Steve Stav.

Dust off the Captain’s log. After a big-screen hiatus, the Enterprise is back – and bold as ever. Steve Stav carefully navigates the spoiler minefield in his review of J.J. Abrams’ reverential re-boot of the Star Trek saga.

X-ray vision is pretty useful, and the Batmobile is one sweet ride, but there’s something about a high-flying, heavily-armored man with a drinking problem that really captures Steve Stav’s imagination.

Stoking the buzz-fires for their upcoming studio album, New Romantic forerunners Roxy Music have finally released a definitive video history on DVD. Steve Stav , who gave up trying to emulate Bryan Ferry’s hairstyle 20 years ago, immerses himself in The Thrill of It All.

Everyone’s favorite Scottish ogre is back - but is Shrek The Third one sequel too many? Our man in the Land of Far, Far Away, Steve Stav , stopped laughing long enough to jot down his answer.

Apt. 306 (Wakefield Records). Review by Steve Stav.

Like kids let loose in a candy store, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez have again indulged themselves – and their legions of fans – with another dose of mayhem. This time around, it’s a two-fisted tribute to ’70s exploitation and car chase films. Steve Stav eases his ‘69 Dart into a reserved slot at the drive-in for a review of Grindhouse.

What, a James Bond story without a volcanic secret lair, a menacing missile or a metal-mouthed villain? Our man in the Bahamas, Steve Stav , explains that sometimes less is more in his review of Casino Royale.

Reviewing a film that has generated as much buzz as Borat is pretty daunting. However, Steve Stav takes his best shot with a look at America’s latest pop-culture phenomenon.

In 1945, 6,821 U.S. servicemen and almost 21,000 Japanese soldiers perished during 34 days of battle on Iwo Jima. In Flags Of Our Fathers, three survivors-turned-instant celebrities struggle to adjust to life away from the battlefield. Our resident WWII historian, Steve Stav , offers more insight into Clint Eastwood’s thought-provoking epic.

Just when you think that the unthinkable has occurred – a summer gone by without an inspirational sports movie – along comes Disney with Invincible. How does this gridiron tale rank among its predecessors? Our man on the sidelines, Steve Stav , places it somewhere between Gus and Rudy in his postgame report.

Oliver Stone playing it safe? The biggest controversy surrounding his new film is it’s lack of controversy, as Steve Stav attests in his review of World Trade Center.

Fast boats, Ferraris and 3-day stubble. Yes, Crockett and Tubbs are back – but the new Miami Vice draws surprisingly few comparisons to the iconic TV series. Our man in the Keys, Steve Stav , delivers a hard-boiled report on Michael Mann’s latest crime drama.

Does the film adaptation of Dan Brown’s phenomenal, controversial best-seller live up to the hype? Is The Da Vinci Code Ron Howard’s Last Temptation, a cinematic response to Mad Mel’s biblical epic? Our man in the pews, Steve Stav , delivers his own sermon on the subject.

What a team-up of terror – fright-master Wes Craven and Batman Begins’ creepy Cillian Murphy. Throw in the lovely Rachel McAdams as a potential victim, and you have a recipe for a good horror story set in an airplane in the middle of the night. However, this summer’s next nail-biter is not a slasher-at-20,000 feet flick at all. Our resident frequent flier, Steve Stav , filed this report on Red Eye.

In a summer chock-full of remakes, the concept of remaking The Bad News Bears – a perfect film if there ever was one – boggles the mind. However, with Billy Bob Thornton pinch-hitting for Walter Matthau, the 21st century Bears tip their hat to the original. Our scout in the bush leagues, Steve Stav , stopped laughing long enough to file his report.
