Review: Madonna flirtatious and uncomplicated in new album
Sunday, May 11, 2008
This one’s for you, America. No Abba samples, no edgy French producers, no politics. Madonna makes her least adventurous, yet nonetheless shrewd, move with her new “Hard Candy.” She enrolls producers The Neptunes and Timbaland, the guys behind seemingly every American pop hit in the past several years, plus frequent guest vocals by Justin Timberlake, arguably the most viable modern pop star.

Music Review: Dolly’s moving with the times — again
Sunday, May 4, 2008
Dolly Parton’s longevity as a singer can be measured now by how she markets herself. She began her career by going to radio stations, knocking on doors and asking the DJs to spin her records. When she made it to “The Porter Wagoner Show” in the late 1960s, she found a mass audience through television. Now, she’s utilizing the Internet as a marketing tool for the first time. Full story »

Review: ‘Iron Man’ needs to get the lead out
Thursday, May 1, 2008
“Iron Man” is like “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” You know the comic-book superhero has to have a set-up before a single film can become a franchise, but there’s some tough slogging here on the way to an ending that opens the door to a future “Wrath of Khan.” Full story »

Review: A good cast in a funny look at relationships
Thursday, April 24, 2008
“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” strips away the pretense that males are always the tougher sex. From its earliest moments, in which lovable lump Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) lets his girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), dump him while he’s not wearing any clothes, the film seems determined to get to the, or at least a, naked truth about relationships. The conclusion? Women can be jerks as easily as men can. Full story »

Sunday, April 20, 2008
Waiting for a second CD to drop is enough to make even an ex-Marine and former “American Idol” favorite like Josh Gracin sweat a little. “I’ll know (soon) how much our hard work has done for us,” said Gracin of efforts to put together and promote his sophomore effort, “We
