Lost Souls stars Winona Ryder as a former victim of demonic possession. Maybe it's Satan who's been making Ryder's career choices lately — at least that might explain the awful Autumn in New York and this appalling horror show. Ben Chaplin co-stars as the cute crime journalist whose body Satan plans to use as a base to destroy the world unless Ryder can stop him. This supernatural twaddle marks the directing debut of Janusz Kaminski, the brilliant cinematographer of Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan. From Kaminski you don't expect a flat, fatuous knockoff of The Exorcist, but that is what you get. With the original Exorcist back at the multiplex, you don't need this pale copy, produced by Meg Ryan, of all people. If the devil made them all do it, he's one dull bastard.

“All Along the Watchtower”

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
