Based on Mike Mignola's eponymous graphic novel, "Hellboy" centers around the conflicted life of a demon summoned to earth as a harbinger of Armageddon. Instead, he winds up being raised to be compassionate and help defend humanity from the demons and sorcerers bent on the corruption of our world.

By Alyson Brodsy and David Rising · Thursday, April 8,2004 12:24 a.m.

HAMBURG, Germany -- The only Sept. 11 suspect ever convicted walked out of jail Wednesday smiling and laughing, freed less than two and a half years into a 15-year sentence after judges ruled the evidence was too weak to hold him pending a retrial.

Pirates of the Yangtze

By Alyson Brodsy and Paul Musgrave · Thursday, April 8,2004 12:22 a.m.

SHANGHAI, China-- To say that inexpensive DVDs and CDs are readily available in China is an understatement -- like saying Bill Gates has a modest amount of money.

GET CREAMED

By Holly Johnson and Holy Johnson · Thursday, April 8,2004 12:21 a.m.

It's 3:46 a.m. on a chilly Saturday in early April, and the crowd outside Bloomington's newest nightspot has snaked out of the double plate-glass doors and spilled onto Walnut Street, where stragglers from 21-and-over joints are munching Taco Bell gorditas and attempting to hitch rides home.

PICK YOUR POISON

By Jess Huffman · Thursday, April 8,2004 12:21 a.m.

The beats of Cassidy and R. Kelly's "Hotel," are bumping in Kilroy's' Sports Bar as a group of girls playfully argue, laugh and talk. Their conversation is interrupted when a waiter arrives with a tray of several small glasses. The girls applaud him as he passes them out. He has what the girls want. It's shot time.

Let my cameron go

By Jack Silverstein · Thursday, April 8,2004 12:21 a.m.

As a college senior four months away from graduation, I'm finally starting to really consider my future. With grad school and job searches coming up, and marriage, family and other adult responsibilities somewhere in the distant horizon, it's amazing to think just how different my life will be in the next five or so years.

Pew pride

By Alyson Brodsy and Melanie Sims · Thursday, April 8,2004 12:20 a.m.

Gay choir directors are about as new to the black church as pink hats and pearl sequins on Easter Sunday. They're probably just as visible, just as noticeable -- but much less-discussed when the pews are present. In the church, there are some issues everybody sees and nobody wants to acknowledge.

Read fine print on the condom

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, April 8,2004 12:19 a.m.

When you think of an educational bed-time read, the tiny print warning label on a condom wrapper probably doesn't come to mind. Most people are unable to summarize the warning ("if used properly, Latex condoms will help reduce the risk of transmission of HIV infection and many other sexually transmitted diseases"), and once they've reached the point in which a condom becomes a necessity, are unlikely to turn back based on a tiny warning.

Read fine print on the condom

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, April 8,2004 12:18 a.m.

When you think of an educational bed-time read, the tiny print warning label on a condom wrapper probably doesn't come to mind. Most people are unable to summarize the warning ("if used properly, Latex condoms will help reduce the risk of transmission of HIV infection and many other sexually transmitted diseases"), and once they've reached the point in which a condom becomes a necessity, are unlikely to turn back based on a tiny warning.

Get your 'Prince' without kissing a frog

By Cassidy Flanagan · Thursday, April 8,2004 12 a.m.

"The Prince and Me," or as I now refer to it, "The Prince and (add your name in the blank)," is a film which plays out onscreen the girlish dream of finding Prince Charming. Although in today's world, the land of queens and kings are only found in books. So when I invited six of my girlfriends to view the film with me, deep down we all dreamed of being in our own "Cinderella story."

The Who: 'See Them, Feel Them'

By John Barnett · Thursday, April 8,2004 12 a.m.

The Who hold a very special place in my heart. Their 1971 masterpiece, Who's Next, was the first pre-Dookie disc I ever purchased.

Dylan disc dynamite

By -Kehla West · Thursday, April 8,2004 12 a.m.

This album, so long only accessible to hardcore Dylan fans, is finally available to the public. And that is a very, very good thing.

CELLULAR CULTURE

By -Brandon Tucker · Thursday, April 8,2004 12 a.m.

Jack Morris' cell phone resembled a concrete cinder block before it resembled a modern mobile device. But his famous phone, which was repeatedly confiscated by Mr. Belding, was just one of the tools which made him "Preppy," the most popular and trendy kid in the whole school. If only Zack were around today. Zack's famous TNBC character died after the prime-time "Saved By the Bell College Years," when the show finally lost its edge.

Critic smells what The Rock is cooking

By Doug Evans · Thursday, April 8,2004 12 a.m.

The Rock has finally met his match, and it is not Hulk Hogan or Stone Cold Steve Austin. It is acting in his most dramatic role yet -- he faced the challenge and surprisingly did it justice.

A PEOPLE'S BAND

By Holly Johnson and Holy Johnson · Thursday, April 8,2004 12 a.m.

The members of Hoobastank have been plenty busy promoting a new album and playing college campuses as part of MTV's Campus Invasion tour, (though the closest they come to Indiana University will be at rival Purdue University on April 18) but they were able to take a few minutes in Chicago to answer questions about the band's direction. The alterna-grunge foursome made a quick stop in the Windy City before winding down the east coast to hit Florida this week.
