Problem with the NFL preseason

·

Raise your hand if you like the NFL preseason. OK. You can put your hands down now, Raiders fans. Don’t get the joke? Let me explain.


Underground Kingz Grade: A-

·

Kingz is an uncompromising effort that reunites members Pimp C and Bun B for their first album since 2001 for more tales of pimping, crime and extravagance that fans have come to expect over the last two decades.



Online only: The Con Grade: B

·

The only truly damning criticism I can bring myself to hurl at the Quin twins is that they might consider penning something other than a yearning love song for their next LP



Bob "Hebe" Hebenstreit tends bar at Nick's English Hut on Aug. 20.

The keepers of the bar: Bob Hebenstreit

·

His name is Bob Hebenstreit, but his friends call him Hebe. Hebe has been a fixture in the Bloomington bar scene for more than 30 years. He owned his own bar (The Peanut Barrel) and has tended bar at five different establishments around town. Hebe is currently employed at Nick's English Hut. He sat down with WEEKEND and shared the unique wisdom his career has afforded him.








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

·

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

·

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. But the complete player control is unlike any other sports game. The player movement possibilities are endless. You'll be able to re-enact Reggie Bush high-school highlights until your thumbs blister over. Believe me.






Online only: 300 (R) Movie: B Extras: B+

·

From a purely aesthetic standpoint, "300" works beautifully. When pesky things like expository dialogue, political intrigue and spurned hunchbacks get in the way, you may find yourself begging for the Persians to unleash a whole new level of hell on our heroes.
