Amazon.com Modern Hollywood has developed a tradition of releasing similarly themed pictures in near pairs, but who'd have thought it would release two films with a central theme of societal scapegoating within weeks of each other in '99--and that one of them would be South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut? Spike Lee's Summer of Sam is a little more straightforward in its telling of a New York neighborhood's descent into paranoia and finger-pointing as a serial killer stalks its streets in the summer of '77, and while its soundtrack doesn't plumb the scabrous, madcap satiric depths of Messrs. Parker and Stone, it's a serviceable--if occasionally threadbare--collection of period rock (The Who chestnut "Baba O'Riley"), pop (ABBA's "Dancing Queen," "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" by Elvin Bishop), funk (Roy Ayers's "Running Away," "Got to Give It Up" by Marvin Gaye), and a whole lot o' 1970s disco/club music (Chic's "Everybody Dance," "Best of My Love" by the Emotions, "La Vie en Rose" by the incomparable Grace Jones among them). Oddly missing for a film in which one of the main characters sports a nascent Mohawk is any hint of the era's--and region's--blossoming punk and new wave music. Still, it's a thematically sound, smartly sequenced collection that evokes both era and atmosphere well. --Jerry McCulley
