We the Kings

Too smiley

By Cory Barker · Sunday, Dec. 13,2009 2:03 p.m.

We The Kings are brought of the latest swell of power pop bands (Boys Like Girls, The Maine) that have made it kind-of big recently, but they’re certainly the worst of the lot. Every single one of their songs sounds and leaves you feeling exactly the same.

A match made in marketing

By Brent Williamson · Sunday, Dec. 13,2009 2:02 p.m.

Well, it certainly isn’t “The Lion King”. Disney’s latest hand animated venture, “The Princess and the Frog” is their first non-CGI film since the disastrous “Home on the Range” of 2004. While Disney would have you believe that this is the return of the classic animated films of yesteryear, it is a transparent attempt to add an African-American princess to all their merchandise.

30 Seconds to Mars

This is lame

By Cory Barker · Sunday, Dec. 13,2009 1:48 p.m.

30 Seconds to Mars, actor Jared Leto’s band, haven’t released an album in four years, and during that time they were seemingly being “reborn” both spiritually and musically – as a mediocre band.

Public enemies

Depp powers 'Enemies'

By Cory Barker · Sunday, Dec. 13,2009 1:27 p.m.

Producing period piece films are always tricky. Producing period piece films with good, realistic action sequences is even trickier. But with his examination of infamous Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger, director/writer Michael Mann has gotten nearly everything right.

Invictus

Convincing performances save 'Invictus'

By Brian Welk · Sunday, Dec. 13,2009 1:01 p.m.

I enjoyed Clint Eastwood’s Nelson Mandela biopic that is really about rugby, not Mandela, in the same way I might’ve still enjoyed “Slumdog” if it was actually about “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”

IU Essence

IU Essence dancers shine on campus

By Tom Miller · Friday, Dec. 11,2009 12:37 a.m.

Without official sponsorship from the University, Essence has been managed and coached solely by students. Even without a staff sponsor, Essence has been able to perform for large audiences without any funding from the school. Last year, the group performed at BET’s “Spring Bling,” and tentatively in January, they will return to BET to perform on the daily music video countdown show, “106 & Park.”

Friday, Dec. 11,2009 12:31 a.m.

An encircled, golden ‘N’ marked the spot on the stage where Elinor Ostrom met Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf on Thursday in Stockholm.

Crean reaches 200th win

By DeAntae Prince · Friday, Dec. 11,2009 12:13 a.m.

Crean’s win came on the biggest stage of his coaching career at IU. The Hoosiers faced a team that had received votes in the top 25 only a week ago. And it came just before a Saturday bout with No. 4 Kentucky.

NCAA discusses expanding tournament fields

By Associated Press · Friday, Dec. 11,2009 12:11 a.m.

The NCAA is looking into it behind closed doors – at least preliminarily. Rekindling discussion of a popular topic outside the organization, the NCAA has held early-stage talks about expanding its men’s basketball tournament and possibly moving it from broadcast to cable. But don’t worry, purists. No changes are imminent.
