“Don’t Tell Me”
You have a choice of two ways to watch Madonna sing her new single, “Don’t Tell Me.” Choose either her MTV music video, or watch Madonna accompany herself on guitar (a first) in a recent appearance on David Letterman’s show.

Why not watch both?

You can also click on the vintage tabletop jukebox (don’t forget to insert a nickel) to listen to song samples, including Dwight’s new CD, “Tomorrow’s Sounds Today.” Don’t see the song title you want to hear? Page through the selections just as you would on a real jukebox.

A well-known science fiction epic of the 1960s is the inspiration for one of this summer’s blockbuster films.

The new “Planet of the Apes” begins with the same premise as the original—an astronaut (Mark Wahlberg) finds himself in a strange environment after landing on an unknown planet. But the simian similarities end there, with Tim Burton applying his highly visual directing style to reinterpret the story, set design, makeup, and visual effects. (And yes, this time the apes’ mouths actually move when they speak.)

“Planet of the Apes” opens in U.S. theaters on July 27, but the first teaser trailer gives us Burton’s view of what’s to come.
