Who's nowest now?

By Brian Spegele and weekend staff · Saturday, Aug. 4,2007 12 a.m.

These aren't necessarily the best movies, products and epic battles of the summer, but they are indisputably now. Join us as we take you through a bracket of eight to determine the nowest of the now.

Lohan as a stripper

I Know Who Killed Me (R)Grade: D-

By Teri Wang , Aaron Beard and Ben Walker · Saturday, Aug. 4,2007 12 a.m.

Tentative kudos to director Chris Siverston for attempting a new synthesis of the thriller genre, but the majority of "I Know Who Killed Me" plays out like a tedious slide show, with a color palette of punchy Kodachrome and a story line completely obliged to the perverse worship of imagery and intermittent sensations. Nevertheless, all judgments of exploitation aside, the film does place on display the spunk that at another time more properly defined Lohan's career.

Common Finding Forever Grade: C

By Brian Hettmansperger and Alisha Chaudhary · Saturday, Aug. 4,2007 12 a.m.

The album doesn't bring anything new to the table or to Common's career. Be was a comeback album of sorts, after the '60s psychedelic-inspired Electric Circus alienated some listeners. On Finding Forever, we find Common content with his career one ladder rung from the top.

"Caddyshack" meets "Soul Plane"

Online only: Who's Your Caddy? (PG-13) Grade: D

By Andrea Alumbaugh , Aaron Beard and Jon Krawczynski · Saturday, Aug. 4,2007 12 a.m.

Amidst quick music clips that read like mini music videos, the viewer is left juggling a love story, a flashback sequence featuring C-Note's father (a former caddy whose course record is not recognized by the club), an assassination plot carried out by two little people (apparently a comedy staple these days), a polo match, and a young, white caddy who has shots in his bag Happy Gilmore would envy.

If I ran Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

By Zack Teibloom and Sandra Arao Ameny · Saturday, Aug. 4,2007 12 a.m.

The '80s game is just an encore, so it's understandable that there aren't any new features. This version is just a quick fix of songs to master until "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock" lays down the gauntlet this fall. According to Wikipedia's game summary, there's a multi-layered battle mode which sounds incredible, new guitars and venues and a boss mode where you get to play Slash. Here are 20 songs I'd turn my amp up to 11 for:

You get Michael Douglas’ two favorite passions: Catherine Zeta-Jones and food.

No Reservations (PG)Grade:B-

By Jacob Stewart , Aaron Beard and Greg Beacham · Saturday, Aug. 4,2007 12 a.m.

While romance fans will be pleased, like most love stories "No Reservations" can be just as good from the couch as on the big screen. But if you're in the mood for love or need a good date movie, the film is a sure winner.

A night at the Ballpark

By Zachary Osterman · Thursday, Aug. 2,2007 12:30 p.m.

It is 6:46 p.m. Shadows stretch across the field as the grounds crew wets down the field in preparation for the July 20 game between the Indianapolis Indians and the Durham Bills. The grass-covered seats behind the outfield play host to picnicking families and fans prepared to take in the closest

Mr. Lazy goes to Baghdad

By Edward Delp · Thursday, Aug. 2,2007 10:49 a.m.

The war in Iraq is not going well. By now, most Americans agree with that statement. Almost everyone agrees that things could have been done differently from the beginning and need to be done differently now.

Fire ravages Bloomington businesses

By Michael Zennie · Thursday, Aug. 2,2007 9:25 a.m.

A fire Wednesday afternoon gutted the Monroe County Pizza Department, 3890 W. Third St., destroyed several adjacent businesses and heavily damaged others. The blaze, which started at the pizzeria, was only visible as smoke at first, though flames eventually leapt through the roof of the building and spread to other businesses in the strip mall, Bloomington City Fire Department Chief Jeff Barlow said. Firefighters received the call for the fire at about 3:40 p.m. and had it under control by about 4:40 p.m., Barlow said. Although no one was injured in the fire, two firefighters were taken to Bloomington Hospital for observation because of Wednesday’s high temperature combined with the heat from the flames.
