By Brian Hettmansperger , Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Thursday, June 14,2007 12 a.m.

"Ocean's 13" is a venue for the elite of Hollywood to flaunt their immense talent for the audience to eat up, but it's clear by watching them work that everyone involved is having fun. And you know what? As a viewer, I did too.

Bruce Springsteen Live in Dublin : A+

By Michael Reschke and Sam Nissen · Thursday, June 14,2007 12 a.m.

If you appreciate his music at all, get Live In Dublin now. If you can feel anything, try to stop the hair on the back of your neck from standing on edge during revamped classics like "Highway Patrolman" and "Atlantic City" or Pete Seeger greats like "Mrs. McGrath."

Marilyn Manson Eat Me, Drink Me

By John Barnett and Aparna Venkatraman · Thursday, June 14,2007 12 a.m.

Even with Manson in full confessional mode here, we still get a few cringe-inducing lines, yet the general feel is that while Reznor is infinitely busy exorcizing his own demons, Manson is more concerned with pleasing the fans that have stuck with him since the days of "Cake and Sodomy." Both intentions are honorable, so I suppose it just depends on your mood.

Queens of the Stone Age Era Vulgaris : B+

By Brian McFillen and Grace Low · Thursday, June 14,2007 12 a.m.

Vulgaris is about three-fourths greatness, one-fourth OK-ness and no lameness. Lead single "Sick, Sick, Sick," with vocals from The Strokes' Julian Casablancas, is a killer bass-heavy dance track, and it's also rivaled by many other excellent moments. Vulgaris might not be QOTSA's best, but since what's common for them is exceptional for most other bands, it's well worth your time.

Hostel: Part II-B

By Chris Wisner and Mike McElroy · Thursday, June 14,2007 12 a.m.

Much like when the first "Hostel" came out, plenty of critical disgust was spewed forth, for it was "too shocking" and "grotesque." What most fail to realize is the first film, and now "Hostel: Part II," came out at opportune times when the American box office managed to be flooded with unnecessary remakes of horror classics, "Saw" sequels and Japanese horror films dumbed down for our audiences. Sure it's a sequel, but its a worthy one at that.

Woodlands make up the ‘heart’ of campus

By Sara Amato · Wednesday, June 13,2007 9:19 p.m.

It is a common belief IU has a policy that if a tree is taken down on campus, two trees must be planted in its place. Professor James Capshew said he’s never heard of a policy of that sort, but it shows the importance and value trees have on campus.
