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.

Forget that this five-piece act came to the desert with mountains of facial hair, sweater-vests and stylish suit coats over button-downs; ignore also their contract with the esteemed Sub Pop Records, their praise from Pitchfork and their resume of other Seattle-based indie rock bands, including Pedro the Lion.

Wall-E Starring Ben Burtt, Elissa Knight, Jeff Garlin Directed by Andrew Stanton Walt Disney Pictures B+ Disney Pixar's newest movie, "Wall-E," opened in theaters last Friday to eager audiences of both kids and adults. While "Wall-E" might be entertaining for adults and older kids, it might have missed its younger audience by a bit - some of the themes and actions are too subtle for kids, leaving them restless halfway through the movie.

Only now, instead of waiting for your digital critter to "hatch" or spending agonizing hours feeding it, you just get to create it and then watch it go. It's like being on the god side of the digital beast universe. Which is, obviously, effing sweet.

Cameo Rowe's recently self-published novel has been through a lot. First written in short story form as a gift, the book has since been accidentally deleted from a floppy disk, critiqued by numerous Pitt professors and repeatedly rewritten and revised.
Rowe, who graduated from Pitt last spring, recalls working on the book, titled "Defenders of the Realm I: The World Mystic Arts Tournament," for six years before recently sealing its destiny as the first published segment of his "Defenders of the Realm" trilogy.
