By Alyson Brodsy and Brandon S Morley · Wednesday, May 17,2006 8:13 p.m.

Adoption adaptation

Some days it's a shame this paper isn't a tabloid. If it were the New York Post or Britain's Sun, we could run a headline like: "State of Indiana Hates Kids, Gays" or "Indiana to Orphans: Drop Dead!" Would this be unfair? Yes, probably.

Fanboys please: Stop with the fronting

I see your sideways glances at my Batman carrier bag, riddled with condescension. I've suffered the looks of disapproval when I jog past you on a Sunday afternoon: me in my Superman shirt, you in your Connor Kent Superboy hoodie.

Southern charm times seven

By C. Warner Sills and Chris Wisner · Wednesday, May 17,2006 7:25 p.m.

If by some chance you've never seen a film based on one of playwright Tennessee Williams' plays, you're missing out on cinematic slices of southern Americana.

Malick's brave 'New World'

By C. Warner Sills · Wednesday, May 17,2006 7:23 p.m.

Terrence Malick's "The New World" is a film that requires a lot out of its viewer. It is not for the average, passive filmgoer and it is not for someone merely interested in just catching a glimpse of Colin Farrell's robust Irish chest.

Great name, decent debut

By C. Warner Sills and -Nate Bethea · Wednesday, May 17,2006 7:21 p.m.

Gnarls Barkley seems like the most unlikely of artistic progressions: a former Dirty South rapper turned soul star and a former Athens, Georgia DJ turned virtuoso hip-hop producer collaborate to form a side project influenced by Motown, Seattle and Manchester.

By C. Warner Sills and John Barnett · Wednesday, May 17,2006 7:21 p.m.

Being the more substantial half of Steven Spielberg's red-letter 2005 (along with War of the Worlds), "Munich" tells the tale of the terrorist group Black September's hi-jacking of Munich Germany's 1972 Olympic Games during which they kidnaped and killed a group of Israeli athletes.

By Ryan McLaughin · Wednesday, May 17,2006 7:18 p.m.

By C. Warner Sills and Chris Green · Wednesday, May 17,2006 7:16 p.m.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are back after a four year hiatus. In their first release since 2002's By The Way, Anthony Kiedis and the gang bring you a double-disc effort titled Stadium Arcadium, which may at first sound like the name of a live album.

Out of luck

By C. Warner Sills and Alyson Brodsky · Wednesday, May 17,2006 7:13 p.m.

If Lindsay Lohan was trying to portray a more mature role and bring her acting career to a more serious level, then she is out of luck. It seems as if director Donald Petrie was going for something like his 2003's "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days".

By C. Warner Sills and Doug Evans · Wednesday, May 17,2006 7:11 p.m.

One might think that Hollywood is trying to capitalize on the worst terrorist attack ever on American soil with "United 93," and while this is true to a point, the film was certainly made with a great deal of dignity and respect to the victims' families.
