Director Danny Boyle's underdog tale is generating Oscar buzz.

It’s just another one of those typical high school romance movies. You know: Lonely boy meets lonely girl, each falls hard for the other, boy turns out to be a vampire.

I don’t know about you, but my stock in Bond has plummeted ever since Daniel Craig donned the trademark tux in “Casino Royale” and turned the witty debonair spy into a stuck-up sourpuss.

Since when has 2 plus 2 ever equaled 1? It does if you’re talking about Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson.

Girl Talk is 27-year-old DJ Gregg Gillis, a skinny, hirsute and undoubtedly wily Pittsburgh native who, through sharing his favorite music with the masses, has become one of the indie music world’s bigger success stories this year.

Since our first installment of Obscure Music Monthly was a bit abbreviated, we’ll take another run at it and bring you the best in hip-hop from our friends across the pond and down under, with Brixton MC Temptastic’s "First Blood" and Aussie rapper Scott Burns’ "Day 1."

Going the concept route with your solo debut is a bold move, even for someone who has already produced albums for Mos Def, Talib Kweli and other hip-hop heavyweights.

As much as I think Cloris Leachman is an inspiration, it was time for her to leave “Dancing With The Stars.” 

The United States of America is going to be led by an African-American man for the first time in its history. But a man of color in power is nothing new to the world of professional wrestling.

Besides having an awesome rap name, Edgar Allen Floe is also a pretty good rapper. He gets together with a few of his Justus League pals – wisely leaving 9th Wonder aside, all due respect – to craft a street-level record with just the right amount of soul touches in "The Streetwise LP."

It’s been years since he thumbed through his first comic book, but 26-year-old Richard Pulfer is more into the genre today than ever.
