...with $9.6 million. Just behind that, at $8.3 million, was the love story Remember Me, starring vampire swoon king Robert Pattinson; not nearly enough Twilight fans booked tickets on the young male dreamboat. The interracial Our Family Wedding, with America Ferrara and Forest Whitaker, earned $7.6 million to finish sixth (after the holdover Shutter Island). So the four brand-new movies took in only about $40 million. It's the first weekend since the chill of pre-Avatar December when only two movies made more than $10 million...

...concept behind Brutalism, a postwar architetural aesthetic, figures prominently in Ted Leo and the Pharmacists’ (TL/Rx) sixth studio album, “The Brutalist Bricks.” Like the raw concrete buildings meant to reveal the structure and function of their rooms through their exteriors, the album’s tracks combine to embody what seems to be the LP’s primary purpose. “Bricks” seeks to remain true to TL/Rx’s punk roots and commitment to a diverse range of musical genres, while experimenting with the style...
