As the summer sun slowly burns away in the sky above, the golden-brown tan most have achieved from having fun in the sun for the past few months is going to start to fade.
On the cover of Michael Jackson's epic album "Thriller," the king of pop seems to be illuminated by an angelic light. It's quite likely that this seemly innocent heavenly glow is more than just a lighting technique, but a preview of the unearthly grooves of the music that lies within. "Thriller" is undeniably one of the best things to come out of a decade, which also spawned preferably forgettable movements such as tight-rolled jeans, hair bands and Boy George.
What does a filmmaker do when he releases a horror movie with a witless plot and a lame monster? Why, churn out a sequel of course. "Jeepers Creepers 2" is set a few days after the original, with the monster making the mistake of killing the son of a farmer (Ray Wise). The farmer and his older son are out for revenge and arm themselves with a homemade harpoon gun and their trusty farm dog.

The effects of Welcome Weekend might have worn off almost a week ago, but alas, my fellow partiers, er, Spartans, Saturday morning is the beginning of a weekly tradition that will last through late November. I'm not talking about Saturday morning cartoons or pulse-pounding hangovers.

Instead of just sipping a drink and dancing to the beat at a regular weekend hangout, blues and jazz fans can put their cover charge to good use. The Green Door Lounge, 2005 E.
Does your description of a quality film include flesh-eating, winged monsters, expatriate divorcees or kids in spelling bees? If the answer is yes, then grab some popcorn and pop and pull up a chair, because that is what local theaters will be putting on the big screen this Labor Day weekend. "Jeepers Creepers 2," "Le Divorce," and "Spellbound" are three of the major movies coming to local theaters this weekend. "Jeepers Creepers 2," is the sequel to the mediocre 2001 horror movie about a flesh-eating monster on an eating binge.

Screwball comedies have long disappeared, along with pencil-thin mustaches and families gathered around a radio for home entertainment. Today's movie-going public should make an effort to watch these classics.
Believe it or not, a little violin, organ and trumpet music makes its way onto Alien Ant Farm's latest album, "truANT." Although not entirely awful, the variety in instrumentals isn't enough to save the album from mediocrity.
You've heard the horror stories. Normal teenagers - good citizens from regular, everyday towns - move away to college and pack on pound after pound until they get so big, they are no longer able to fit onto their twin extra-long sized bed
The crowd was anxiously buzzing with noise and energy as it waited for the opening of The MSU Department of Theatre's Open House Monday night in the Arena Theater.
Listening to Neil Young & Crazy Horse's "Greendale" is a unique experience in that it does something many modern, commercialized CDs cannot - it transports the listeners to the musician's world and makes them develop an affinity for the work. Though long-winded at times, listening to "Greendale" is essentially like watching a good movie: detailed, with complex plots, characters and supporting roles. Most of the tracks fly by, even though six of the songs are longer than 7 minutes, with three coming in at a whopping 10-plus minutes.
Ah, the first day of classes.Day one means meeting your professors for the first time and becoming quickly acquainted with the swapping-and-dropping-classes system.Day one means laughing at the inexperienced in-line skaters who have yet to discover how to use their brakes yet refuse to wear pads.The first day at MSU causes fear for your life as sidewalk-demanding bicyclists peddle through the campus or rapidly accelerating drivers rip around corners with no regard.
