Aaron Sakulich entertainment editor My mastery of the English language completely fails me when I try to describe the trip I took to New York City on July 23rd to see 80s synth-pop band Devo live in Central Park.

Who would believe that video games based on movies were actually doing well for a change? Anyone playing Spiderman 2 might not. Unlike the surprising Xbox exclusive Chronicles of Riddick and multi-platform Van Helsing, which were excellent titles, Spiderman 2 drops the ball it was given from the first movie's game and reminds everyone of why video games based on movies suck.
Every summer the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival is held at DeSales University, near Allentown. Although that may seem like quite a distance, it's only a stone's throw from the turnpike, and you can actually make it there in a car faster than you can make it to Old City on SEPTA.
