Model mayhem

The designers spent another night in Safeville. Their challenge (if you want to call it that) was to make cocktail dresses for their models. Yawn.
The producers tried to throw in a few curveballs by forcing the models to shop for the fabric, which had to be environmentally friendly. More yawning.
What's with "Project Runway" trying to make it look like the models have substance? I thought they were just supposed to be silent mannequins who stand on the runway in the same black dress before each challenge so the designers can pick them out like they're boxes of Raisin Bran in the cereal isle.

No name = bank

Despite or maybe because of the controversy over its name, Nas' now untitled album hit No. 1. It's the rapper's fourth album to go to the top of the charts.
Check back tomorrow for another "Project Runway" recap.

Thank you for being a friend.
Estelle Getty, who played Sophia on TV's "The Golden Girls," died Tuesday morning at the age of 84. Here's a look back at the show's theme song.

It's not often I leave the theater after watching an action movie and launch into philosphical discussions with my fellow moviegoer about morality.

But then, "The Dark Knight" just isn't your typical action movie.

I agree with everything that Erin said in her post about the movie: Christian Bale is spot-on as Bruce Wayne, Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar for his sinister portrayal of the Joker, and the supporting cast was excellent.

And yea, the action sequences were awesome. Batman flying into a Hong Kong high rise and kidnap (or extradite ... you decide) a criminal, then float into a moving plane was one of the coolest stunts I've seen in any of the "Batman" movies.

But what makes the movie transcend your typical Comic-based blockbuster are The Joker's persistant attempts to make Gotham turn to its baser instincts.

Say it isn't so. Actor Christian Bale, aka Batman, might be in the doghouse. According to Reuters, a 34-year-old man attended a central London police station and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault.

Bale, 34, is rumored to have assaulted his mother and sister. Isn't it a little strange that Bale's family came forward with these charges just days after "The Dark Knight" raked in millions? Now, I ain't saying they're gold diggers, but...I don't think anyone should jump to conclusions until the whole story comes out.

Glow-in-the-dark swimwear = underrated

Another weekend. Another art festival.
After being blown away by "The Dark Knight" Friday night, me and a fellow art enthusiast headed to Baltimore's Artscape, America's largest free public arts festival.

Catchphrase of the moment:

Even though there were problems at the midnight opening of "The Dark Knight" at Regal 13 Cinemas in West Manchester Township, all was well on Friday night when I went to see the Batman blockbuster.
It nabbed $158.3 million this weekend -- obliterating "Spider-Man 3's" record.
Luckily, I ordered my tickets for the 9:50 p.m. show online a day in advance. When my friend and I arrived at the theater, there was already a long line for the 10:20 p.m. showing.

Although most movie lovers would say this movie is oozing with cheese, I am not afraid to admit that I loved every break-dancing, back-flipping, chest-popping moment. It just makes you want to get up and dance. And it's set in Baltimore. Take a look at the trailer.

Lather on the sunscreen and check out Artscape in Baltimore this weekend -- hyped as the nation's "largest, free public arts festival."

It rocks. Think art exhibits, fashion designers, craftspeople, live demos and concerts, "art cars," public sculpture on Mount Royal Avenue, freshly squeezed lemonade, funnel cakes and a pink ferris wheel.

The hours are noon to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday.
