'Exorcism' tops the box

By Associated Press · Thursday, Sept. 15,2005 12 a.m.

LOS ANGELES -- "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" bedeviled its competition in its box-office debut this weekend, hauling in $30.2 million with its mix of courtroom drama and classic horror.

Collisions in a game of ‘Murderball.’

'Murderball' on a roll

By Mary P. Hansell · Thursday, Sept. 15,2005 12 a.m.

If anything, go to see the chair. Made of aluminum beaten and molded together like something out of medieval times, the wheels are angled and ready for war. Murderball, also known as Quad Rugby or Wheelchair Rugby, is not a game for the timid. Smashing into your opponent at full speed and firing across the court with a ball, the aim of the game is to get both wheels on the other side of the line.

These old Stones continue to gather moss

By Ty Schrock · Thursday, Sept. 15,2005 12 a.m.

Why do the Rolling Stones even make albums anymore? When a band's creative powers have been near death for 25 years, maybe it's time to call it quits on the recording, and just be comfortable selling out stadiums and being sponsored by Ameriquest. For the past couple of decades the Stones have consistently made mediocre albums that in no way measure up to their 60s and early 70s heyday. Their newest effort, A Bigger Bang, is no different.

Flashback to the 70s

By Chris Wisner · Thursday, Sept. 15,2005 12 a.m.

"The Sting" is one of those classic examples of 70s cinema that has influenced countless films since its release but still holds my opinion that they just don't make 'em like this anymore.

New Ween reigns supreme

By Doug Evans · Thursday, Sept. 15,2005 12 a.m.

Ween's latest release brings back the classic sound that originally made them famous. Shinola Volume 1 is reminiscent of the early Ween releases like God Ween Satan and Pure Guava, yet it exhibits a sense of maturity and evolution.

The Exorcist on Trial

By Jonathan Daugherty · Thursday, Sept. 15,2005 12 a.m.

In the tradition of "The Exorcist," "Constantine" and "Stigmata" comes "The Exorcism of Emily Rose." However, the film is very different from these other movies and even from how it was represented in the trailers.

Something in the air

By Brad Wicklund · Thursday, Sept. 15,2005 12 a.m.

Here in the Midwest we love county fairs and NASCAR almost as much as we love euchre and whisky. We have more corn, cows and good ol' boys than you can shake a stick at and thanks to the Minneapolis hip-hop group Atmosphere, we also have some of the illest underground music any coast has ever heard.

Hi Ohio, Bye Ohio

By Evan Wade · Thursday, Sept. 15,2005 12 a.m.

Against better judgment, finances and a car that likes to break down every time we take it over 45 miles an hour, the girlfriend and I decided to visit some family in Ohio to celebrate our last week of freedom before school started again.

A journey through catastrophe

By Thom Kudla · Wednesday, Sept. 14,2005 11:51 p.m.

I was so helpless when I first heard about it. People drowning. People stealing. People killing. People dying. People starving. Destruction. Dehydration. Devastation. I wanted to pray to my estranged God. I wanted to petition my government. I wanted to scream. Instead I sulked. Might I be just as guilty of indifference as the journalist taking photos of bodies floating by in a hurricane's flood?

Not your average swordsman

By Chris Wisner · Wednesday, Sept. 14,2005 11:44 p.m.

With an epic film like "Hero" being released in theaters this past year, it isn't surprising that a film like "The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi" remained relatively unknown to fans of martial arts/samurai cinema. Where "Hero" exceeds at being an epic, "Zatoichi" excels at being a more personal and traditional sword-fighting narrative.

A 'Gift' greater than popularity

By Nate Gowdy · Wednesday, Sept. 14,2005 11:34 p.m.

With ex-Cars front-man and Weezer-producing Ric Ocasek on board for Nada Surf's 1995 debut High/Low, the band first hit airwaves with "Popular." As the song's popularity died, though, so did Nada Surf's fame. Reviewers dismissed them as nothing more than one-hit wonders and cheap Weezer rip-offs.

These 'Toys' aren't just for kids

By Ash Cartwright · Wednesday, Sept. 14,2005 11:29 p.m.

It's hard to imagine there are many who haven't seen "Toy Story." Even though it was ten years ago that it first hit theaters, it has never really dropped out of sight.

CAMPTASTIC

By Larry Walters · Wednesday, Sept. 14,2005 11:26 p.m.

"Ouch," you cry, as your free hand slaps the mosquito that just bit you. Regretting that you forgot to bring bug spray, you go to light the fire as you realize you've also forgotten another crucial element to your camping experience -- matches.

Committee passes new district map

By Ben Woodson · Wednesday, Sept. 14,2005 10:52 p.m.

In a 30-minute meeting with no public comment, the Monroe County Redistricting Committee recommended Wednesday on a party line vote that a new Republican-made district map for the Common Council replace one approved in 2001 by the then-Democrat-controlled County Commission. Democrat Pat Williams voted against the recommendation with Republicans Steve Hogan and Margaret Cook voting for it. "I just believe (the Republican map) is the one that closest fits the criteria," Cook said.

The residents of Bloomington have been doing their part the past two weeks to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Residents have been buying Red Cross wristbands and volunteering to help, and now Bloomington Mayor Mark Kruzan has decided the city will do its part by donating $15,000 to various charities and coordinating volunteers throughout the city.

Getting 'Lost' never felt so good

By John Barnett · Wednesday, Sept. 14,2005 10:08 p.m.

Before its premiere last autumn, ABC's "Lost" drew baseless comparisons to "Survivor," "Cast Away" and every previous deserted-island vehicle since film and television began. Thirty minutes into the pilot, anyone fearing a watered-down "Robinson Crusoe" retread was silenced, and most who experienced "Lost" from its initial episode were hooked until Season One's three-hour finale last May.
