Movies based on acclaimed books are usually pretty good, often generating Oscar buzz months before their release. Unfortunately, “Water for Elephants” is not one of those movies. The movie, based on the novel by Sara Gruen, isn’t all bad by any means, but it doesn’t dazzle either.

Let’s face it: Audrina Patridge was never the life of the party on “The Hills.” At best, she was a confidante to the main character (whether it was Lauren Conrad or Kristin Cavallari) who occasionally got her own storylines. With that in mind, it is unclear why anyone would give her her own reality show, but they did.

With a legacy that has lasted past its ten years on TV, “Friends” is one of the defining shows of our generation.

The Black Eyed Peas have gone through a lot of changes, from socially conscious hip hop trio, to Fergie-featuring pop superstars, to dance-floor mavens. Last year, the Peas took over the charts with their Grammy-nominated “The E.N.D.” This album marked the beginning of their move toward dance and electronic music. Now, their new album, “The Beginning,” completes the transformation.

It’s officially the beginning of the end: “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1,” the first part of the last movie in the Harry Potter series. The end is near, and Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is trying to destroy all parts of his nemesis Lord Voldemort’s soul.

The 19th Annual Stella Artois St. Louis International Film Festival (SLIFF) has officially begun, and as usual, it is packed with must-see feature films, documentaries and shorts – over 300 of them to be exact. With Oscar contenders and foreign films galore, SLIFF, which runs from November 11 to 21, is something you don’t want to miss.

Widely hailed as one of the worst films of all time, “The Room” is coming back to the Tivoli on Friday and Saturday night at midnight. Written by, directed by, and starring Tommy Wiseau, the movie has garnered a large cult following with some serious traditions.

Alex Terrono and Trey Weaver recap the hit movies of the summer including Cyrus, Inception, and Twilight Eclipse.

MGMT broke into the music scene with their debut album “Oracular Spectacular” in 2007. The album spawned the hits “Kids,” “Electric Feel” and “Time to Pretend,” all of which fit into their electric-pop vibe, filled with catchy lyrics and beats. Their new album, “Congratulations,” unfortunately does not live up to this previous album. What it loses in catchiness, it gains in boredom.

After four years of laughs, tears and braces, “Ugly Betty” is sadly coming to its end. While the series has certainly deteriorated since its award-winning first season, it has still managed to captivate millions with its intriguing and sometimes ridiculous storylines.
