The high-adrenaline shoot-em-up blockbuster "Wanted," from Russian director Timur Bekmanbetov, hit theaters Friday, setting the bar (and a high bar, I might add) for summer action flicks to come.

Every once in a while, a production that has a huge build-up in hype before its release lives up to all the expectations placed on it and is worth the months of trailers and commercials. Will Smith's latest movie, "Hancock," is not that production.
Smith plays Hancock, an amnesiac who wants to remember what happened to his life, who he is and why his body is completely impervious to harm.

My ears, not to mention my self-esteem, were tired and battered after listening to the newest album from G-Unit, Terminate on Sight (T.O.S.), set to be released today. It is an album riddled with all the bad stereotypes of rap - loud and obnoxious beats, references to violence and drugs, and of course the unrelenting objectification of women.
