It's all gravy

Cross Canadian Ragweed to visit College Station for new disc release
It's all gravy
He's cramped in a small room miles away from home. The closest friends he has are the ones who came with him. Sounds like a wide-eyed freshman on his first day of class, right? Wrong. Cody Canada, frontman for Cross Canadian Ragweed, said living in the tiny quarters on the bus for eight weeks at a time isn't so bad, especially when you're in a successful band selling out shows with three of your best friends since the fourth grade.

"Hidalgo"

Touchstone Pictures - Starring Viggo Mortensen
"Hidalgo" is a movie that was made for a specific audience. It just so happens to be the same audience that enjoys "America's Funniest Home Videos" and CBS sitcoms. Amusing at times, slightly entertaining at others, "Hidalgo" is grade-A Hollywood cut. Prepared from a recipe of box-office success, this Disney film is as predictable and clichd as it gets, but at the same time, it doesn't inflict too much harm on a viewer's brain cells.

"The Lost Skeleton of Cadava"

Columbia-Tristar - Starring Larry Blamire
A tongue-in-cheek sendup of a 1950s science fiction film, "The Lost Skeleton of Cadava" is hilarious in its awfulness. Seemingly built for late-night movie watching parties, the movie is laugh-out-loud funny as it celebrates and builds upon the clichs that helped earn legendary director Ed Wood his infamous legacy.
