'Hard Candy' a sweet treat for summer

·

Admittedly, about a month ago, when I first heard "American Girls" on the radio I got a little worried. Don't get me wrong; it was nice to hear new material from Counting Crows. I thought the tune was catchy, but the first few times I heard it the words glossy and commercial came to mind. My prior experience provided hope. I reminded myself that as a general rule, the first single released by Counting Crows is never a great barometer for the rest of an album, and I couldn't have been more right.

Hanks guns for a third Oscar in 'Perdition'

·

Many critics have compared Sam Mendes' sophomore directorial effort to Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather," and while both films revolve around the world of organized crime the similarities stop there. "Road to Perdition" is a mafia film, but first and foremost it's a tale of fathers and sons.

'Hart's War' a losing battle

·

In Hollywood's post Sept. 11 patriotic fervor, there was a literal invasion of War movies. Luckily, most moviegoers took a pass on "Hart's War," a dangerously flawed film. This Bruce Willis driven tank hits tons of landmines from start to finish.

Cube's 'Darkness' insane

·

The Gamecube is unfortunately saddled with the image of being a "kiddies console." Nintendo has proved with "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem" that there is more to the system than Italian plumbers and Pokémon. This challenging and innovative title pushes the boundaries of gaming in twisted new directions.

U.S. coach wants to stay through 2006

·

NEW YORK -- Bruce Arena probably will stay on as U.S. soccer coach after leading the team to its most successful World Cup performance in 72 years. Arena, speaking Wednesday at a news conference to promote Major League Soccer's All-Star game, was reticent to discuss his future. His current contract, agreed to in October 1998, expires at the end of this year. "U.S. Soccer has talked to me and, hopefully, we can reach an agreement," Arena said.

The 'Halo' addiction

·

Although "Halo" came out for the Xbox some eight months ago I'm still addicted. The game is like digitally rendered smack. I take a hit, come down and return asking for more. It's as though I'm shooting up this first-person shooter.
