Traditional flavors

"Arharn" is Thai for "food," and it is a fitting title for this humble, wholesome, well-priced, delicious little restaurant that recently sprang up near the Super Target on Powers Boulevard. Dishes such as steaming-hot, spicy lemongrass soup swimming with shrimp and fresh chopped cilantro ($6), and deep-orange Panang Curry - tart with fresh basil and kaffir lime leaves - offer traditional Thai food without flourishes or shortcuts.

Match savory, sweet crepes with gelato

Caterer Blandine Brutel, aka Chez Blandine, has cooked up a great deal with Frank and Merlyn Noncon, owners of Noncon's Gelatoria, 8816 N. Union Blvd. It's an international-cuisine moment: Have savory or sweet French crepes prepared by Chez Blandine, and get a scoop of Italian gelato.

UCCS FILM FESTIVAL FEATURES ART, DINNER, AWARDS CEREMONY

As far as the mightily abused McConaughey romantic comedies go, "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" is actually one of his better outings.

Heart sliced out from 'wolverine'

Origins stories are supposed to be of such momentous mythological dynamism that they explain everything that radiates from them - characters' histories, personalities and even guiding motivations. They are our road map to everything that comes after. Our decoder rings. Our Genesis. "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" has no such density at its core, no gravity, nothing to explain why we should care one whit about this man and his problems.
