Welcome to our final entertainment guide of the school year, and it's not a bad week to go out on. The much-anticipated "Terminator Salvation" enters theaters this week, as does the comedy "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian." And on the music front, Eminem drops his first album in five years.

The big news this week is Big Show, but lots of other things are on tap: Green Day's latest album comes out, as does the film version of another Dan "Da Vinci Code" Brown novel, "Angels & Demons." And if you missed former Uni student Nina Paley's animated masterpiece "Sita Sings the Blues" when it played at Ebertfest, you can catch it at Boardman's starting Friday.

Time is tight as the school year winds down, but don't deprive yourself of A&E sustenance this week. Saturday night, of course, is prom at the Champaign Country Club, but consider taking in the CU Ballet's production of "Cinderella" this weekend, too — the Sunday matinee would be the cherry on top of the prom/post-prom sundae.

Uni High's Big Show, originally scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, has been moved to May 15-16. That's good for the cast, but it leaves a gaping hole in our social calendar this week. Luckily, the OG entertainment crew is here to give some suggestions for filling that void. Any Jason Mraz fans out there?

Later this week is the event that all true cineastes in C-U look forward to: Roger Ebert's annual film festival, Ebertfest! The Sun-Times critic and Urbana native has made this one of the treasures of C-U. Check inside for the Ebertfest schedule and other noteworthy happenings in the world of movies, CDs, DVDs, and video games.

What a great time to be in C-U! Next week is the always excellent Ebertfest at the Virginia Theatre, while this week is the seventh annual Boneyard Arts Festival. Not sure what that is? Check inside to learn more. Plus, get the rundown on the latest in movies, CDs, DVDs, and video games. See why Laura Dripps plans to stay away from the new Russell Crowe movie, while Katy Metcalf and Will Fernandez are rejoicing over the new music releases.

Sure, there's a new album coming out this week from the brilliant indie band Doves. And the much-praised film "Doubt," starring the legendary Meryl Streep, will be released on DVD. But how can any of that compete with the really big news in entertainment this week? Yes, "Hannah Montana: The Movie" opens in theaters Friday. Don't smirk. You know Laura Dripps will be there.

The week after spring break has plenty to offer. At the top of the list is Uni's spring musical, "West Side Story," starring seniors Daniel Borup and Sheri Grill as Tony and Maria. Other highlights include the DVD release of "Slumdog Millionaire," new music by Flo Rida, and quirky films "Adventureland" and "Sunshine Cleaning."

The liberating relief of spring break is just a few days away. If you're interested in doing something other than watching college basketball during your break, here are some releases worth checking out among the latest movies, CDs, DVDs, and video games. We've included a few items that won't be released until next week, such as the DVD version of the must-see film of 2008 — "Twilight"!

The best deal in town this week is the Champaign Park District's Battle of the Bands. Come out to the Virginia Theatre at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, and for $5 you can see 11 of the area's top teen bands, including Uni's own Shoompie. Check inside for more of this week's entertainment picks.

Oh no, another superhero movie. ""Watchmen" might turn out to be pretty good, but there will be a better choice in town Friday: "The Class," a French film set in a Parisian high school. It opens at Boardman's, and it gets Laura's approval. Check inside for more entertainment picks.

It's going to be a great week if you're a fan of The Jonas Brothers — their 3D concert movie hits the theaters. For fans of, um, deeper stuff, there's "Waltzing With Bashir," an Oscar-nominated Hebrew-language animated film about the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Check inside for music, DVD, and video game picks. And don't forget the Insect Fear Film Festival on Saturday!

Gamers rejoice! Finally a good week for video game releases, led by "F.E.A.R. 2," and Gordon Ruan can barely contain his excitement. Will Fernandez is enthusiastic as well about the week's new CDs. The new films and DVDs aren't so hot, but if you're looking for frothy entertainment, you could do worse than "Confessions of a Shopaholic."

From Coldplay to "Mamma Mia!," Eleni Yannelis offers her picks of the summer's best music, movies, and books. Some are sure to become classics, and a few are just right for that much-needed brain chill.
