The balance of power

By Jacob Levin · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2008 10:36 p.m.

BEIJING – Every time I go to the convenience store on campus, I pass a treasure trove of bootleg DVDs. They sit in stacks on a cart, in irregular packaging with poorly translated titles, but the price you can’t beat – about $1.10 per disc.

Scrubs is always willing to go outside the creative structure of a normal sitcom.

Scrub in again

Wednesday, Nov. 19,2008 3:59 p.m.

Although the writer’s strike and NBC’s idiocy shortened season seven of “Scrubs,” the show still delivered laughs and legitimate character arcs where season six didn’t.

This creature/guy should not have made fun of the horns.

Who said hell can’t be fun?

“Hellboy II” may not be the most famous comic book ever, but when it comes to on-screen performance, it has surpassed almost every single one of its comic book peers.

"Look at this blurry photo that proves nothing."

Let it go, Oliver Stone

By Nathan Dixon · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2008 3:53 p.m.

When "JFK" was first released it was a disappointing waste of talent. Today it feels much the same.

Couldn’t some of these people have waited for another table?

TV’s best series in a box

By John Barnett · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2008 12:38 p.m.

I could fill page after page with what’s groundbreaking, thrilling and fantastic about HBO’s legendary series “The Sopranos,” but I’ll just say it’s the best series ever to grace the television medium. The momentous Greek tragedy that is Tony Soprano’s dual life as family man and made man never once sagged during its eight years.

Tracy Chapman is looking out the window and for her old career.

Tracy Chapman is not so fast

By Danielle Fleischman · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2008 12:30 p.m.

It is a pity that Chapman could not return the greatness of “Fast Car,” but fans of her work will still enjoy this addition to their collection.

Totally awesome

Fun. That’s probably the best word to describe Bloomington artist Totally Michael’s self-titled debut album.

The Postmarks know how to produce a good cover, but have no clue how to take a cool photograph.

Delivered on time

One very impressive thing about this album is that The Postmarks are able to retain their signature sound while still singing the songs of other artists.

Butch Walker thinks his music is so good he had to sit down to listen to it.

Butch Walker stars on his own

By Christy Nichols · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2008 12:15 p.m.

Butch Walker has once again created an album full of easy-listening music. The lyrics are simple and talk about issues that address everything from guys wearing girl’s jeans to leaving a strained relationship behind.

III time's the charm

By Thomas Miller · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2008 12:06 p.m.

The Bronx’s third album The Bronx (III) fits somewhere between AC/DC’s rock 'n’ roll stomp and the riff-tastic guitar heroics of bands like Rage Against the Machine and Led Zeppelin

That's sure a golden smile, T-Pain.

Vocoder apocalypse

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2008 11:59 a.m.

The vocoder has officially worn out its welcome and his new album Thr33 Ringz is a prime example of why. The songs are catchy in their own right, but through more than 20 of them, the sound effects, snapping and too-typical lyrics strain the ears too much.

Taylor Swift is so fearless she sits in front of cars.

From country to pop and back again

By Alex Rast · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2008 11:51 a.m.

Even at her young age, Taylor Swift has really captured the country-pop sound solidly on Fearless. Surely her success will carry forward, and she will continue to grow as an artist.
