AC/DCBlack IceColumbia RecordsGrade: CIf it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. “Black Ice,” AC/DC’s first album in eight years, doesn’t deviate much from the sound of previous releases. Despite the efforts of producer Brendan O’Brien, the band ends up recycling the same riffs and subject matter. Here’s an AC/DC drinking game: Drink every time you hear a song with “rock” in the title. Although “Black Ice” is lacking in originality, AC/DC’s already cemented fanbase will be content with the fresh set of songs.B. LEJEUNE- – -Hank Williams IIIDamn Right, Rebel Proud Curb RecordsGrade: CKeeping the family tradition alive, Hank Williams III is back with his fourth album, blending elements of country and rock with his punk attitude. Williams has stepped it up on this album, recording and producing it himself. While a positive step for Williams, the album might be overshadowed by his touring schedule and rumors of two new albums that may surface early next year. It seems Williams is trying to juggle too many projects at one time and needs to revert back to his old Southern roots.J. CHENIER- – -Of MontrealSkeletal LampingPolyvinyl RecordsGrade: B+”It’s time to penetrate their fantasy,” sings Kevin Barnes on “Women’s Studies Victims,” a song from Of Montreal’s latest release, “Skeletal Lamping.” And that is exactly what Barnes does. “Skeletal Lamping” is Of Montreal’s second album in which Barnes performs under his alter ego, Georgie Fruit, an African American cross-dresser. Fruit takes listeners on an adventure through his mind and the way he perceives sex. Psychedelic pop melodies paired with Barnes’ usual abstract lyrics make Of Montreal’s ninth album another success.     V. TOUPS- – -The Secret Life of BeesFox Searchlight PicturesGrade: D”The Secret Life of Bees” provides its audience with a fantastic opportunity to take a good nap, wake up and still understand exactly what is going on in the film. The incredibly predictable story takes viewers on an exceptionally boring adventure in which Dakota Fanning’s character, an unlovable tween, is taught by Queen Latifah the art of beekeeping. This film is sickeningly sweet and sure to leave those who put themselves through the torture of watching the film in its entirety with a newfound appreciation for sleeping with their eyes open.C. CORE- – -W.Lionsgate FilmsGrade: A-Attention conservatives: It is safe to see this movie. While Oliver Stone is known for presenting liberal views, this film is remarkably unbiased and showcases a legitimate story of President George W. Bush’s rise to the White House. Josh Brolin is an exceptional Bush and humanizes the man who leads our country. The star-studded cast includes Richard Dreyfuss and other faces the audience will recognize. But beware of creepy Condoleezza Rice!A. NORSWORTHY- – -Max Payne20th Century FoxGrade: D-“Max Payne” is just plain dumb. Its incredibly illogical plot and silly demonic motifs make this film seem twice as long as it is. Dangling story lines and one-dimensional acting didn’t help either. But it’s what one would expect from a video game adaptation. The action sequences are edgy and crisp. The concept of game-based “bullet-time” evokes Matrix nostalgia and is the only thing in this film worth watching, besides Olga Kurylenko and the blessed black screen at the end.A. FELIX- – -EDITOR’S PICK: High School Musical 3: Senior Year Original Motion Picture SoundtrackWalt Disney RecordsFor Fans of: High School Musical, High School Musical 2The East High Wildcats are back for the third and final installment of the “High School Musical” phenomenon. Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Hudgens and the rest of the cast come together for 12 new tracks to be featured in the movie, which opens in theaters Friday. The franchise’s move to the big screen comes along with more intricately produced songs than in the previous films. Although the soundtrack won’t win over any college students who haven’t seen the films, die-hard fans will be pleased with “Senior Year.”S. AYCOCK
