“Let’s make out to the music you can’t hear on my iPod.”

Songs on ‘Twilight’ don’t suck

By Nicole Powell · Wednesday, Nov. 12,2008 3:52 p.m.

This album is a sign for the immense success that should come with this film. It’s dark and violent yet somehow maintains the sense of pure, everlasting love. There is no question this soundtrack is one of the better ones that have been attached to a movie this huge in recent memory.

Hyvönen breaks the silence

Paisley’s new album Play contains none of the witty, touching or otherwise relatable lyrics that make his music so endearing.

Someone should let Sam Jackson know that he looks like a moron anytime he's not bald.

A 'Soul'-ful tribute

By Brian Welk · Wednesday, Nov. 12,2008 3:37 p.m.

Heath Ledger isn't the only posthumous actor to deliver a strong performance this year. On Aug. 9,  Bernie Mac passed away, but not before completing work on his latest film “Soul Men.”

Animated animals gone wild

By Jordan Greenberg · Wednesday, Nov. 12,2008 3:34 p.m.

Although it lacks a solid plot, “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa” is an enjoyable film that includes loads of laughs. It makes it easy to get lost in the animated world and pretend you’re a child.
