RoadTrip In Summer, Georgia Avenue’s a Peach

WHERE: Georgia Avenue in the District and Maryland.

WHY: Caribbean block party, going coco for sweets, and art in the alley.

HOW FAR: About 22 miles from start to finish.

I t’s summertime, and the living is easy on Georgia Avenue. The 23-mile road, which starts near Howard University in Northwest Wash-ington and ends at the border of Montgomery and Howard counties,embraces the lazy, hazy days with a street festival, bazaars and plen-ty of places to chill.

Eastern Europeans, the Irish, Greeks, Germans and Italians have calledGeorgia Avenue home, but now the strongest flavors in the D.C. stretch areCaribbean and African. Catch that island fever next weekend at the D.C.Caribbean Carnival. Starting Saturday at 11 a.m., a parade of 25 troupes incolorful rhinestone costumes worthy of a Vegas stage will sashay to steel-drum rhythms, marching south on Georgia from Missouri Avenue NW tothe front of Howard University at Barry Place.

At nearby Banneker Park, the party continues from noon to 7 p.m. Satur-day and June 24 with live reggae and calypso music, plus vendors peddlingcurries and crafts ($10 admission each day). Organizers say the 15th annu-al carnival, which attracts tens of thousands of revelers every year, is thethird-largest Caribbean event in the country, after New York’s and Miami’s.

TITLE BASIC STORY SAMPLE GRAB GRADEWHAT YOU’LL LOVE

WHITE STRIPES BY PRESS HERE PUBLICITY;

MISS POTTER BY ALEX BAILEY — WEINSTEIN CO.

“She was the representative of accepted social

behavior. She was the guardian of our health and

security. She was the bran muffi n that allowed us

to be jelly doughnuts.”

— Stephanie considers the prospect of becoming her mother

Evanovich’s off-the-cuff tone and commitment

to never taking herself (or her characters)

too seriously make for a quick,

lively read.

A cheeky debut novel by

the British author explores

the incestuous entangling of

a group of old friends.

Sure, they’re borrowing

big moves from the Led

Zeppelin playbook, but

the duo sounds more

dynamic and

spontaneous

than ever.

“Well, I ain’t sayin’ I’m innocent /

In fact, the reverse / But if you’re

headed to the grave, you don’t

blame the hearse”

— “Effect and Cause”

For some listeners, the band’s

furious fl ights of fancy on

several songs may be too far out

there.— Joe Heim

Stiff performances and stilted dialogue mean the

human participants in “Miss Potter” never equal

the beauty of its Lake District setting.— Justin Rude

There’s nothing more

frustrating than feeling as

though you’ve aced the quiz and

then getting a C-plus from the professor.— Christopher Healy

Those same controls can feel frustratingly

imprecise when the system fails to register

your movements.— Evan Narcisse

The Wii’s gesture-based

controls add a new sense

of immersion to the series’

trademark bloody battles, almost making players

feel as if they’re the ones throwing those

decapitating uppercuts.

Memorizing cartoon

facial expressions and

doing rapid-fi re math

calculations is more

fun than it sounds.

The lack of a real narrative doesn’t

cramp the Reno crew’s style, and

the loss of television

censorship adds a

bit of an edge.

Renee Zellweger, below, and Ewan

McGregor star in a biopic about

Beatrix Potter, the English

author of “The Tale of Peter

Rabbit” and other classic

children’s books.

This experimental indie-rock band with ties to

Lawrence, Kan., and Boonville, Mo., expands its

trippy, psychedelic pop reputation with its sixth

full-length CD.

Test your noggin

with fast-paced IQ

challenges and get

graded on your smarts

(or lack thereof).

Jack ’n’ Meg get down ’n’ dirty on one

of the most abrasive and enjoyable

albums of their career, full of tangled

guitar riffs and unexpected left turns.

Icky Thump The White Stripes

Satisfaction By Gillian Greenwood

Shaye Areheart

$24

The best-selling novelist

continues her popular series

of comedic crime stories

featuring bumbling lingerie

buyer turned bounty hunter

Stephanie Plum.

Lean Mean Thirteen By Janet Evanovich

St. Martin’s

Press

$27.95

The special features provide a depth of historical

detail that could have been better incorporated

into the fi lm.

“My every muscle

has a memory like

tables and chairs /

Where you would set

is empty in my heart

we want you again”

— “Mama Mama”

The band’s grand, soaring

sound melds the

shimmering rock of the

Flaming Lips with Pink Floyd

spaciness and Polyphonic

Spree harmonies.

“Reno is a lot like Mayberry on the TV except

that everyone’s on crystal meth and

prostitution’s legal.”

— Deputy Travis Junior (Ben Garant) gives the 411

on his home town

The multiplayer mode

(up to eight people) adds

much-needed variety to

the 15 puzzles.

Greenwood feeds on

readers’ hankerings for

inside scoops and

salacious melodrama;

merely tracking the

shifting alliances is

entertaining enough.

The popular Comedy Central

reality-TV spoof hits the big screen,

staying true to its roots by

remaining a collection of

ad-libbed short bits and

gags with memorable

cameos.

Armageddon features a new Kreate-

A-Fatality that lets players craft their

own versions of Mortal Kombat’s gory

signature fi nishing moves.

C

Patton Oswalt seems wasted in

a role that fails to cash in on his

signifi cant comedic talents.— J.R.

Though they give the

plot some context, Amy’s

visits to her husband’s

shrink to uncover past

dirt disrupt the story’s

fl ow.

— Alexis Burling

Jack White’s

unmistakable

caterwaul has grown

so caustic that you

should buy lozenges if

you plan to sing along.— Chris Richards

The book’s scatterbrained story is all over the

place, so fans of more

conventional mysteries

will be frustrated by the

meandering action and

abandoned plot threads.— Reviewed by Sara Cardace

“. . . if you want to know if you’re still

a desirable woman, then yes, a very

desirable woman, and married to my

best friend.”

— A typical exchange between intimately connected friends

“Your book will not

sell a large number of

copies, but I think we

can turn a small profi t.”

— Publisher Fruing Warne (David Bamber) vastly underestimates Miss Potter

In the storied franchise’s

fi rst game for the Wii,

the energies unleashed

by centuries of dueling

to the death threaten to

destroy Earth and other

dimensional planes.
