	Review: Palookaville (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
		Palookaville (the title is from the classic Marlon Brando line in On the Waterfront about losers) is the debut feature for director Alan Taylor, who has used the stories of post-WWII Italian author Italo Calvino and the 1956 comic heist movie, Big Deal on Madonna Street, as inspirations.
		One of the things that elevates Palookaville over the likes of Bottle Rocket and Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead is its character development.
		After all, the people in Palookaville may be losers with little hope of rising above their circumstances, but that doesn't mean they don't have hearts and souls.

	WashingtonPost.com: 'Palookaville': Buds in Crime
		"Palookaville," a warm-spirited, amusing twist on heist flicks, is about three likable, unemployed friends from New Jersey whose lives are going nowhere slow.
		But "Palookaville," inspired by a collection of Italo Calvino short stories about life in postwar Italy, has more engaging concerns.
		The movie, which was written by playwright David Epstein and directed by first-time filmmaker Alan Taylor, takes time to explore the men’s relationships with their women, including Sid’s newfound attraction to fur-shop assistant Enid (Bridgit Ryan) and Russ’s secret affair with a sweet girl next door (Kim Dickens).

	Eye - Last train to Palookaville - 11.14.96
		Palookaville is a funny, endearing and engrossing little comedy-drama about a young, vaguely Italian-American trio trying to improve their station in life.
		What Palookaville shares with Madonna Street is not only the botched break-in sequence, but also a cheerful, charitable attitude toward mankind.
		The lovable and fad-defying Palookaville raises questions about the state of Amer-Indie cinema, circa 1996, inundated as we are with one talentless Tarantino rip-off after another (Destiny Turns On The Radio, Feeling Minnesota, Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead, Curdled and too many others).

		What's really suprising, however, is that his latest effort "Palookaville" is receiving even more critical bashing by the masses.
		Palookaville does something which will suprise a lot of people - it utilizes live guitars, vocals, and changes most of what you knew about him as an artist.
		Palookaville offers up a new look into the Norman Cook we have come to love but it's made a mark which is irreversible in a suprising yet brilliant way.

		NEOPHYTE director Alan Taylor's Palookaville gets its name from Joe Palooka, a goodhearted but half-bright boxer in the comic strips of the 1920s (whose adventures were made into movies starring that Palooka of the world of comedy, Shemp Howard, as Joe's manager, Knobby Walsh).

		His first album in four years, Palookaville, was also announced in July.
		The song was appearing on the radio and was made quickly available on iTunes months ahead of the album release.
		Palookaville represented a significant shift in style for Cook, with a reduction in the traditional Fatboy Slim reliance on vocal loops, and the introduction of real instruments (Cook himself plays bass on some of the album's tracks, with Simon Thornton playing various other instruments, along with various guests, e.g.

	BBC - Dance Review - Fatboy Slim, Palookaville
		That's not saying Palookaville is a particularly bad album, rather that it's stuck in a big beat rut circa 1997.
		Palookaville creates a good mood, a happy feeling that is so often absent in the cold machinery of dub.
		By releasing Palookaville as Fatboy Slim, he's guaranteed that he shifts units but is hampered by the fact that, we associate his name with a completely different type of vibe and music.

	Fatboy Slim: Palookaville: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
		Cook's response is Palookaville, which is precision-built for a polarized and perhaps even less responsive 2004.
		But while Palookaville gets off to an unquestionably cauliflower-ear start, it does feature some punchy amalgams of rock and electronic elements towards its center, and some of the live instrumentation that Cook has touted as part of his new routine eventually begins to make an impression.
		Palookaville avoids booming with tired, late-90s big beat fever, but it's never far away from that genre's vacancy, since it aims so squarely for the same old middle of the road.

	A conversation with Alan Taylor, director of Palookaville (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
		Palookaville is a rare American film, one which deals with ordinary people in a sympathetic, yet not uncritical, fashion--and with some imagination.
		At the public screening of Palookaville two nights earlier, Taylor had referred to the three characters at one point as "losers." I mentioned that the word had made me wince, particularly when used before a relatively well-heeled audience.
		Palookaville, as a whole, is amusing, thoughtful, sometimes moving.

	PALOOKAVILLE
		Palookaville is a mythical, nonsense destination coined by Marlon Brando,” explains Cook.
		As Palookaville began to take shape, the plan wasn’t just to work with other people, but to fully collaborate, using real instruments instead of samples and write more traditionally-structured songs.
		So on Palookaville, you’ll also find the smoky, soulful “North West Three”, a song for his wife Zoe, with a lyric about Primrose Hill, where the pair used to walk when they lived in London.

		Their excursions into this new line of employment produce some genuinely suspenseful situations, but primarily this is an amusing tale of human nature and kindness.
		Palookaville benefits from excellent casting, and the three leads turn in great performances very different from their usual roles portraying more competent villains.
		As with that box office hit, Palookaville takes a wry look at real and gritty issues and upholds the dreams and aspirations of its down and out characters.

		Review: Looking back on Fatboy Slim's discography, Palookaville is up against some stiff competition, which makes it the low point only because it isn't another beginning-to-end stunner.
		The Fatboy himself -- Norman Cook -- had given plenty of hints in the press before the album's release that this was going to be different.
		Palookaville could stand one more trimming pass, but it gives Cook's canon the needed depth.

		One of my favorite moments in movie comedy comes in ``Big Deal on Madonna Street'' (1958), when a gang laboriously breaks through a wall, only to find one of their gang standing on the other side, baffled.
		Alan Taylor's ``Palookaville,'' which obviously had that moment in mind, opens with an equally hapless gang of thieves, these in Jersey City, breaking through a wall into what should be a jewelry store but turns out to be a bakery, and then loading up on doughnuts.
		No doubt ``Palookaville'' will have the millstone of Tarantinoism tied around its neck; any urban crime movie with a lot of guys and a little humor is routinely linked these days with Q.T. But the movie's roots go back further, to a group of short stories by the Italian writer Italo Calvino in the 1940s.

		Palookaville, his fourth outing as cartoon dance hero Fatboy Slim, has a distinctly beatnik theme running through it.
		'Palookaville' distances itself from the ambient chillout sound of Norman Cook's 2000 release, 'Somewhere Between..' and returns to the trip hop, rock influenced sound of his breakthrough album 'You've Come A Long Way Baby'.
		The key to Palookaville is variation; you have a super fast 'Slash dot dash' followed by the more lyrically advanced 'Wonderful Night' and then the slower, more bassy 'Long Way From Home,' (which you may have heard on the 02 adverts).

		There's an interlude in Palookaville in which Sid falls shyly in love and leaves crime for the petty larceny of running an illegal taxi service for senior citizens.
		It fails because his fares must ride with his smelly dogs, from whom he cannot stand to be separated.
		To show at once how lovable Palookaville's losers are and how slow they are, they had earlier rescued an armored-car driver -- they knew the old fellow -- after he collapsed in the cab from a heart attack.

	Fatboy Slim: Palookaville (2004): Reviews
		Palookaville is every bit as rewarding an experience when taken as a cohesive unit as the best songs are when taken individually.
		Slim still loves blabbing repetition and dropping yapping vocal samples into the gobs of the dull, and this helps make Palookaville less a reformation than merely his latest and quite bland big beat manifesto.
		Palookaville's highlights promise the sweat and smiles that have become Fatboy Slim's stock in trade, but its surprisingly dull lulls offer nothing more promising than a blank expression.

		As one of his biggest fans I was slightly disappointed with this latest release in contrast to its dance-rooted counterparts.
		As a fan, I’ve come to know Fatboy Slim as two individuals, one being a superstar DJ with the ability to pack 70,000 people onto a beach for some intense house tunes, and the other being the commercial MTV savvy Norman Cook that we’ve come to know and love.
		On Palookaville I would have expected Slim to release under his alter-ego moniker Norman Cook.

		Seth starts off with a self effacing intro talking about how embarrassed he is by that old comic from 1990, actually set in the mid-Eighties when Seth was going through a phase in which he was obsessed with having long white hair.
		Of course, anyone who follows Palookaville knows that the comic has gone in a completely different direction.
		In the latest issue, Seth continues to explore the life of Simon, a failure of a travelling fan salesman who can't seem to find a place for himself in the 1950s small towns he wanders through.

	Fatboy Slim on producing Palookaville with tried-and-true methods
		With his various roles as producer, syndicated radio personality, clubbing DJ, record-label owner and recording artist (not to mention husband and father) keeping him intensely busy, it is surprising that Cook found time to produce Blur at all, but the experience influenced him in myriad ways.
		Although live instruments were used to create different sonic flavors for Palookaville than for past records, Thornton also got his way, using plug-ins as often as Cook did his Meatball and SE-70.
		At the end of the day, it could be said that Palookaville is the most un — Fatboy Slim album ever.

		Something to remember: Before there was Fatboy Slim the DJ, there was Norman Cook the bassist for breezy politi-pop '80s band The Housemartins.
		Never has it been more evident that these two are one and the same than on this fourth Fatboy album release, Palookaville.
		It's been a while since Fatboy Slim was 'fucking in Heaven',if you know what I mean, and the arrival of "Palookaville" feel like he's back on the old horse.
