"The Break-Up" is funny — nothing more, nothing less. If you're going into this film with the same mind-set as watching an episode of "Dr. Phil," you'll be disappointed.
While waiting in line to see the latest edition of the X-Men series, I began to survey the other people in line to get an idea of what type of crowd was coming to see the film.
Something beautiful happened this weekend. Rare photography spawned by crisp camera angles hung delicately on walls, luscious tapestries created in wondrous colors ravished white space and beautiful crystals shimmered elegantly through sparkling sunlight.
I really have no credibility to be compensated, but the following admission will definitely guarantee my exile from any sort of "cool circle" for a long time: I'm looking forward to the next episode of MTV's "The Hills." I know, I'm disgusting, but I have my reasons.

Blue Moon Belgian White is often served with a slice of orange. Guinness Draught can be described as "bread in beer form." You might think these are two great tastes that could not conceivably taste great together.
Hot bodies in tight-fitting costumes. All kinds of particle-splitting death. And a whole lot of destruction from San Francisco to the untamed woods. But what else would you expect from the new X-Men film — "X-Men: The Last Stand." In any case, there were a couple of differences between the latest film and the first two X-Men big-screeners — new cast members, a new director, an increase in swearing, shorter running time and a bit more goofy banter among mutants. The main two additions to the mutant crew are Beast/Dr. Hank McCoy (Kelsey Grammer), and Juggernaut/Cain Marko (Vinnie Jones). Both characters add a level of harmlessly eccentric humor to the overall feel of the fantastic film that was absent in the previous two.
It's more than obvious that Tom DeLonge wants his post-blink-182 project taken seriously. The evidence: a pseudo-pretentious name (Angels and Airwaves), and an album title that begs to be said in a hushed British accent ("We Don't Need To Whisper.") Also, none of the songs seem to be about farting. To achieve this more mature air, most of "We Don't Need To Whisper" finds its inspiration in that bastion of rock 'n' roll seriousness, U2.

"Schoolhouse Rock" put it best: "Three, it's a magic number." Three chords is all it takes to make the most basic, yet effective, chord progression. With only three members, both Run-D.M.C.
Admirers of artistic expression who happen to meander into Kresge Art Museum anytime within the next couple of months may find themselves surrounded by the extraordinary thrust into the bizarre or engulfed in the eccentric.
