Houston falters, but still a diva

·

First of all, let me make this clear: Whitney Houston is not the same diva she once was. She has been through years of alleged drug abuse, an embarrassing reality show with her ex-husband and she completely dropped off the radar of popular music in recent years.

Songz for the bedroom

·

Trey Songz may need a girl, but it’s safe to say he doesn’t need much else on his third album “Ready.”

‘I want my MTV!’

·

For a channel that’s been around for 28 years, one would think that MTV would have finally perfected its model and revolutionized the merger between music and television. Well, I guess some applause is in order – but only a little.


used

Screaming made decent

·

Ten-year-old rock band The Used recently unleashed a much-anticipated fourth studio album, “Artwork.” Though the album is worth spending money on, some tracks are better than others.



heroes

‘Heroes’ without powers

·

Oh, “Heroes.” Once the crowning jewel of television during its impressive-yet-overrated first season, horrible writing caught up with it, and now the program is nothing more than a washed-up hero trying to save people without powers.

Fall TV’s 5 themes to watch

·

Every new season should bring new story lines, but over the past few years, we keep hearing about the same issues from the television industry – declining ratings, hemorrhaging audiences and the lack of break-out content.


supernatural

A better use of angels and demons

·

Though entertaining and intriguing during its first three seasons, season four of “Supernatural” pushed the show to a whole new level of excellence.


extract

‘Extract’ is lacking in flavor

·

Perhaps it is asking too much for director Mike Judge (“Idiocracy,” “Beavis and Butt-Head”) to duplicate the success of his now epic film “Office Space.” Similarly set in the workplace, though this time at a flavor-bottling factory, “Extract” lacks the memorable characters of its predecessor.


gamer

Rated for 'I' for Immature

·

“Gamer” might have once been a good idea, a film about the psychological implications of controlling another human being all for the purposes of entertainment. But my guess is it soon became manufactured as a mash-up of “The Sims” and “Death Race” to market toward the video game-playing, cult film-watching, ADD fanboy that would hope (or believe) the world is obsessed with gaming, violence and S&M.




mad

What would Don Draper do?

When attempting to throw the perfect “Mad Men”-themed party, the key is to remember that simple question.

Doctor up the ‘House’ premiere

·

It’s time to get your diagnosis on as “House” approaches its sixth season. The premiere is Sept. 21, and a party to properly honor the dawning of the new season needs a few things.
