If you're a fan of digital arsenals, stop reading, go buy "Borderlands" and clear your schedule, because this game was made with you in mind.

CASEY PHILLIPS: Considering she's the source of one of the world's great unsolved mysteries, Hollywood's avoidance of Amelia Earhart as a film-worthy subject for the last 70 years is as almost baffling as her real-life disappearance.

Casey: The release of a documentary after Michael Jackson's death on June 25 was inevitable since fans were ravenous for a glimpse of Jackson's final days before his sold-out, final tour. Based on "This Is It," which is culled from 80 hours of footage shot during his preparations for the tour, it would have been a doozy.

There's a very important distinction to make between video games that are challenging and ones that are cheap. The former test players' skills to the limit. The latter test their patience.

Rhonda Westfield remembers seeing Michael Jackson on “The Ed Sullivan Show.”

HOLLY LEBER: The appeal of "Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant" does not lie in the title character. It's an odd little underdog story -- a bored teenager trapped in a high school where, for some reason, everyone wears pastels. He sneaks out one night to a freak show, steals a spider, becomes a half-vampire, makes friends with a snake boy, falls for a monkey girl -- you know, ordinary stuff. All this is embellished with freaky visual effects.

Because zombies are typically represented as mindless, rotting cannibals, they wouldn't be expected to rank highly in anyone's esteem. Based on the slew of recent entertainment releases featuring the undead, however, they've got their share of fans.

It might be hard to imagine a more unlikely literary pairing than zombies in one of Jane Austen's Victorian romance novels, but Jason Rekulak proved that not only can it be done, the results can be quite successful.

When I get home each night from work, I have a 12-year-old and 3-year-old eagerly awaiting my arrival. I'll be greeted with excitement, kisses and adoration.

CASEY PHILLIPS: Just like its premise, “Couples Retreat” is basically a rainy day at the beach. All the right ingredients are there — the ocean, the palm trees, the rum drinks — but extenuating circumstances have dampened the fun.
