The stars show class

It was indeed the biggest, brightest and one of the best organized musical event of the year. In Lagos the show kicked off with Mode 9, as the curtain raiser on the big stage. The ace rapper proved his worth with some quick take on rap marched with captivating stage craft which in no […]

The Heartbreak Kid DVD Review

Critics and moviegoers were cooler towards The Heartbreak Kid than other Farrelly Brothers films, but I can’t see more than marginal differences in its artistic success versus their earlier works. The R rating allows the brothers to get a little crasser, which isn’t necessarily a good thing. But Stiller is as about as strong […]

The Times-Reporter

Apatow, Kasdan and Co. clearly have affection for this character, and for this kind of movie. As Reilly says in the production notes, “We treated Dewey Cox as if he really existed.” And it shows. They toss in all the cliches you’d expect, such as the obligatory montage of album covers, newspaper clippings and screaming […]

Veteran O.C. band Zebrahead will have a homecoming in Anaheim

Families gather round the video screen …

So you’ve proven your worth as a trivia, music and shooting master. What’s left for a real nerd to do? Deal plain old playing cards to fight opposing forces, obviously. Clear off the coffee table for this fantasy oddity: Players deal specially coded cards onto a fabric mat where an included USB camera scans […]

R. Kelly wins praise on current tour

“Kelly is a great performer and showman, and we may have seen the last of R&B performers like him,” Sirius programmer Geronimo said. “He’s all about the live thing. This tour is definitely one of the biggest events of the year. And the other side of it is, with his legal problems, who knows when […]
