Football team keeping Hoeppner in their minds as season nears

By Matt Dollinger · Thursday, Aug. 23,2007 12:17 a.m.

Online only: Stardust (PG-13) Grade: A-

By Michael Mellini and Edward Delp · Thursday, Aug. 23,2007 12 a.m.

Why "Stardust" wasn't one of the biggest blockbusters of the year is a mystery to me, but after DVD and eventual TV syndication, this one should stand the test of time. While it may not get to "The Princess Bride" status, it's an enjoyable trip.

Madden NFL '08 Grade: A

By Matt Dollinger , Alexandra R. Moses and Rick Callahan · Thursday, Aug. 23,2007 12 a.m.

With all of the new features in "Madden '08," picking a particular favorite would be like choosing one girl to spend the rest of your life with -- impossible.
