Hootie and the Blowfish have years of entertainment under their belts

Hootie jams out in the Chi

By Alex Benson · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 6:30 p.m.

I figured they would play all their popular songs, which they did and sounded great, but to be honest their stage theatrics were a tad too country for my taste.

Strong performances by Kevin Costner and Madeline Carroll hold the movie together.

Don't elect this one

By Derrick Carnes · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 6:27 p.m.

All of the middle-aged couples in the theater thought the movie was hilarious, but to anyone under the age of 45, the jokes, and most likely the rest of the movie, will fail to impress.  

Brendan Fraser and Jet Li provide lackluster combat entertainment.

Wrapped up in disappointment

By Jacob Levin · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 6:23 p.m.

By Lauren Clason · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 5:36 p.m.

Last spring, the Monroe County Correctional Center held 272 inmates. But the jail was only capable of housing 204 inmates, which meant the extra inmates had to sleep on the floor. Since then, the jail has added 65 beds, taking the total up to 271. Now only five inmates are without beds.

Madden soundtrack madness

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 5:31 p.m.

For the last few years, on-the-cusp music acts have been salivating to make it on a certain soundtrack. But surprisingly, the platform they’ve all been clamoring for isn’t a brand-new TV show or a blockbuster movie. Instead, it’s a video game: Madden NFL Football.

Bloomington is a musically blessed town, from the world-renowned Jacobs School to celebrations like the Lotus Festival.
