Most people know Nick Cannon as the "guy from Drumline." Though the 24-year-old looks like he's still in high school -- which is fitting because of his portrayal of a cop who goes undercover at a prep school in his new movie, Underclassman -- Cannon is now leaving his mark all over the entertainment industry. From the days when he was booed off the stage as a fifteen-year-old at comedy clubs in L.A. to last summer when he was booed off the stage opening for Dave Chapelle, Cannon has showed the world that he perseveres and tolerates nothing less than his best.

Let's face it: when we hear Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are starring in a movie entitled Wedding Crashers, we expect big things from one of our generation's most beloved duos. Fortunately, this wasn't some botched, could-have-been-funny-but-wasn't debacle in which Wilson's crooked nose and a couple of gunshots from outside are the (only) highlights of an evening at The Bridge.

You've got to try pretty hard to make a movie with a plot line as pathetic as A Lot Like Love's. When the premise for a film is a guy and a girl randomly staring at each other in the airport, fucking the shit out of each other in the airplane's bathroom and then "randomly" meeting on a New York street corner within five minutes, something is seriously wrong. Twenty minutes into the film you'll hope that Ashton Kutcher will come out and screan that you were "punk'd."

From the producers of Barbershop and Bringing Down the House, Beauty Shop transports the ethos of the "ghetto" Barbershop to a women's salon. The parallels (and repetition of jokes) between the two films are hard to miss, from Latifah replicating Ice Cube's character as a new barbershop owner to Kevin Bacon's role as the jealous salon owner that seems similar to Loan Shark Lester's character in Barbershop.

Amidst the many vintage shops that adorn South Street is one vintage eatery: Johnny Rockets. With locations in 30 states and countries like the United Arab Emirates (gotta love globalization), this successful chain brings back the '50s diner atmosphere to the corner of Fourth and South streets.

Just six blocks east of the river Seine (Schuylkill) between Ave. des Champs Elysees (Chestnut Street) and Rue du Rivoli (Sansom), Parisian expatriates in search of beloved homemade sweets find heaven in Yann Patisserie & Cafe. Though Yann's simple fa?ade makes it appear to be a crowded bakery, table service is also available in the yellow-walled dining room upstairs.

Only a few blocks south of the heart of Center City lies a cozy eatery called the Warsaw Cafe. Since 1979, when Brezhnev's Communist regime controlled the Soviet Bloc, proprietor Marion Jarzemski and his mother Marie have been doling out traditional Eastern European dishes that would make even the most staunch commies consider immigrating to Philadelphia. When the restaurant first opened, the Jarzemskis featured only one entree on their menu, the beef stroganoff that consists of thinly sliced beef with onions and mushrooms in a wine dill and sour cream sauce.
