BEST:”Notorious” is an epic movie that tells the short but violent life of Notorious B.I.G. (a.k.a. Christopher Williams), one of the first rappers from the East Coast to make it big. The audience forgets it is a biographical movie the minute the beat drops in the first scene. It is everything a movie should be, with great cinematography, a soundtrack that never gets boring and a story that is inspiring, funny and heartwrenching.BEST:Franz Ferdinand suprised a lot of people with their dance rock album, “Tonight: Franz Ferdinand.” Hardcore fans of the band’s “Take Me Out” days may be slightly disappointed, but their new sound is definitely a fresh listen in the midst of all the rock music on the radio right now. Besides, it’ll get girls to dance.BEST:Beyonce Knowles stars in the must-see movie of the year, “Obsessed.”  From her kick-ass fight scene to her “don’t you dare mess with my man” attitude, Knowles leaves audiences feeling the female empowerment she radiates. The perspective of male victimization is an interesting and refreshing change from the usual damsel-in-distress flick. The movie’s portrayal of a surprisingly realistic situation in a suspenseful manner makes the movie compelling. “Obsessed” is definitely worth $8.50.WORST:All films can’t be winners, but “Fired Up” takes loser to another level. The film is incredibly predictable. Viewers watch two jocks as they try to fulfill their lustfull intentions at a high school cheerleading camp. They end up taking the historically bad cheerleaders into the top realm of cheer. While uninspiring, it isn’t as bad as other D-list comedies. But that still doesn’t mean it is any good.WORST:This album completely changed my life. I laughed. I cried. I lost 15 pounds. But seriously, Busta Rhymes’ latest release should be completely avoided. He tried to beef up his record with production from the likes of Dr. Dre, The Neptunes and Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, but not much good comes out it. Tracks like “Arab Money” prove Busta’s lyrics are more horrific than they actually rhyme. This album is exactly what its title suggests.WORST:This movie is horrible — so horrible in fact, that it is hilarious. The plot is extremely predictable, and the acting is worse than a fifth grade production of “Hamlet.” The 90-minute gore fest makes you wonder just how many ways one can kill a person with mining toolsand, and just when the audience thinks they have seen it all, the masked villain sticks a dwarf to the ceiling with his pick-axe. The 3-D effects are somewhat cool, but nothing really innovative or new, and the movie buys into every slasher-flick cliché that has ever been written. Watch for a laugh but nothing else.WORST:Twelve whiney tracks about angsty relationships is about as appealing to me as a root canal with no anesthesia. Blink-182/+44 bassist Mark Hoppus produced this album, ensuring his place in history as a bassist who should never be allowed to produce an album again. The pop-punk complaining over power chords is pretty hard to listen to. If you’re a lovelorn 14-year-old girl, this album is for you. If not, save yourself the $12 and the headache. It’s just not worth it.WORST:Teenage girls cry and scream, but the rest of the world is shaking their heads in shame. “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience” is painful to watch. This movie, if you can call it that, shows parts of the Jonas Brothers’ “Burning Up” concert interlaced with a day in their lives. It focuses on screaming fan girls and the absurd lack of normal intelligence of each of the brothers. The only good part of this movie was getting to keep the 3D glasses.
