Lex finally admitted his feeling for Clark by giving him a big, pretty diamond.

'Smallville' still soars

·

At times, year seven of our peek at Superman before he dawns the cape had some of the best story lines in the show’s 152 episode run, but also some of the very worst.


“How was it not believable that Arnie and I were twins?”

The sun shines on this show

·

Even with a wacky season three, “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” remains one of the best comedies on television. Seriously, any show that has the balls to feature babies in dumpsters is tremendously awesome in my book



The Sound of Animals Fighting pull off animal masks better than anyone else.

Animal sounds intrigue

·

And although these tracks alone make the album worth listening to, the rest of the songs are disappointing and uneven. Yet, overall this tour-de-force of sound is worth checking out for intrigue alone.



The Donkeys wish shirts that look like tablecloths were back in style

The Donkeys live well

·

It’s taken The Donkeys four years to finally release Living on the Other Side, and it’s safe to say it's worth the wait.


"We're too cool to be one-hit wonders, right?

A few holes in 'The Quilt'

·

The title for Gym Class Heroes’ new album couldn’t be more fitting. The Quilt feels patched together with both solid and weak material. It doesn’t fall apart from the seams, but it sure won’t win any awards for overall strength.


"Only YOU can help prevent illegal downloading and file sharing."

Metallica is not dead

·

This is Metallica. This sounds like the band people loved back when few had heard of the Internet, and there still hadn’t been a Bush in the White House.



"Damn Al, 'Heat' was really the last good movie either of us did."

Screen legends can't save this

·

Even with a plot we’ve all seen before, viewers should be kept on the edge of their seats. “Righteous Kill” is nowhere near brilliant, but it still should be seen in theaters simply because it’s De Niro and Pacino.


George Clooney and Frances McDormand must not be watching "Intolerable Cruelty."

A smart company about dumb people

·

After a movie like “No Country,” which had such a subtle and important message, it’s interesting to see the directors do a complete 180 by crafting a movie whose only apparent message is that everyone is amazingly dim-witted. But luckily for the audience, sometimes dim-witted can be very funny.

In the tank

·

When it came to writing my column this week, I was in about the same position as Sen. Barack Obama. At the risk of sounding harsh or callous, when the stock market tanked on Monday, it was almost like shooting fish in a barrel. Over the past couple of weeks, coverage of the election has been centered on varying levels of attention to Gov. Sarah Palin, ranging from surprise to fawning, then to an all-out assault, and now to a pretty respectable level of analysis in which even conservatives are judging her pretty rationally.


Senior golfer Drew Allenspach, IUSA president Luke Fields, and IUSA Co-director of Public Relations Stefanie Smith participate in an IUSA-sponsored forum at which audience members were able to discuss issues concerning the hiring of a new IU Athletics Director Tuesday night in the Frangipani Room at the IMU.
