Here comes one last entertainment guide before the Gargoyle shuts down for the rest of the summer. Erika Belmont and Gordon Ruan take a look at some of the big summertime releases in movies and video games, including "The Happening," "The Incredible Hulk," "Metal Gear Solid 4," and "Madden NFL 09."

After almost 20 years, the fourth installment of the "Indiana Jones" franchise will open on Friday. But the big news in C-U entertainment concerns weekend concerts involving senior Grant Loos and sophomores Sindha Agha and Loic Hostetter.

The big movie this week is "Prince Caspian," the latest in the "Chronicles of Narnia" series from Disney. Kumars takes a look at that as well as the latest releases in DVDs, including Denzel Washington's "The Great Debaters." Laura likes what she hears from the new CDs, Gordon finds some worthwhile game releases, and Sindha clues us in on an outdoor concert coming up this weekend.

Last week "Iron Man" opened the summer blockbuster movie season, making more than $100 million and getting decent reviews. This week "Speed Racer" and "What Happens in Vegas" will try to dethrone the comic book superhero. Carl, Kumars, Laura, and Gordon have the rest of the week in entertainment.

The best bets this week seem to be in the new CD and video game releases. Laura is looking forward to the latest album by The Roots, "Rising Down," while Gordon gives a thumbs-up to "Grand Theft Auto IV." Carl Zielinski makes a guest appearance as arbiter of the new movie releases, while Kumars checks out the DVD stash. Sindha is back with her look at live music in C-U.

This week in entertainment is all about Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert — specifically, the Urbana native's annual film festival, which marks its 10th year. Ebertfest '08 begins Wednesday night at the Virgina Theatre and concludes Sunday afternoon. Nothing else on the A&E menu is even close, although Laura likes this week's offerings in new albums and Sindha found a few local concerts worth checking out. The video game selection is decent, but as for the latest movie and DVD releases, you're better off going to the Virginia.

The highlight this week for music fans is the Friday night concert featuring Islands and hometown band Headlights at the Independent Media Center in Urbana. The best bet for movie fans is to visit Boardman's Art Theatre again, this time for the Academy Award-winning German film "The Counterfeiters." And if you missed "Juno" when it was in the theaters, you can rent it or buy it on DVD when it comes out Tuesday. Check inside for more of this week's releases in entertainment, including video games and CDs.

It's a big week for "Juno" fans in C-U. Ellen Page (Juno herself) co-stars in the new film "Smart People," which opens Friday. Then on Sunday night, one of the featured artists on the "Juno" soundtrack — Kimya Dawson — will perform at the U-C Independent Media Center. Check inside for more details, plus Kumars on other new movies and DVDs, Laura on CDs, and Gordon on video games.

With no school on Friday, it's a good opportunity to take advantage of the highlight of this week's entertainment offerings: the 2008 Latin American Film Festival at Boardman's Art Theatre. Kumars Salehi has the details inside. Plus Laura has the latest on CDs, Gordon checks out the new video games, Sindha has the lowdown on local concerts, and Kumars fills us in on other movie openings and DVD releases.

After a week off due to spring break, the Gargoyle entertainment guide is back. Topping the list of new movies in C-U is "The Band's Visit," the story of Egyptian musicians stranded in a remote Israeli town. The film opens Friday at Boardman's Art Theatre. Check inside for more from Kumars Salehi on film and DVD releases, while Laura Dripps has the latest on CD releases, Gordon Ruan on video games, and Sindha Agha on local music.

The Academy Award-winning "No Country for Old Men" comes out on DVD this week, leading the list of entertainment picks. Hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg releases his ninth studio album, while "Doomsday" looks to be one of the first stellar movies of 2008. if you're a gamer, the really big news is the release of "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" exclusively for the Wii.

[UPDATED] Carl Zielinski fills in ably for an ailing Kumars Salehi while Laura Dripps is her usual wry self as the entertainment guide returns after a three-day weekend. But the big news this week comes in Gordon Ruan's video game section, where three strong releases — led by "God of War: Chains of Olympus" — will satisfy just about any gamer.

Will Ferrell comes out with a new comedy this week, set during the final season of the glorious ABA, the basketball league that gave us Dr. J and the most outrageous dunks this side of playground ball. But can Ferrell outdo the drawing power of Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson, who star as the sisters Boleyn in pursuit of Henry VIII? On the music scene, Pete Rock looks to outsell Janet Jackson and Webbie, while "The Darjeeling Limited" and "Patapon" seem like the best of this week's DVD and video game releases, respectively.
