Audiences gearing up for something sweet like Bridesmaids need to adjust. Bachelorette, directed by Leslye Headland, who adapted her play for the screen, shows no mercy in mixing mirth and malice. The bridesmaids in this comedy – control-freak Regan (Kirsten Dunst), acid-tongued Gena (Lizzy Caplan) and cokehead Katie (Isla Fisher) – are hardly overjoyed to play handmaidens to Becky (Rebel Wilson), the overweight girl they used to call "Pig Face" in high school. To rub salt further into the wounds of these singletons, Becky is marrying one of New York's hottest and richest bachelors. Yes, there are guys in this movie, but the ladies seize control from the start. Dunst, Caplan and Fisher make a delicious trio as they stir up a bitches' brew of revenge against poor Becky. Headland can write zingers that would make the cruelest bridezilla blush. And Caplan's treatise on the art of the blow job is time-capsule worthy. Sadly, Bachelorette is a comic cocktail that goes heavy on the bitters. That's no way to end a wedding.

“Is It True”

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
