When you think of good music you don't typically think of Toledo, but many of Toledo's up-and-coming musicians are starting to change that perception. Members of We Are the Fury, a Toledo-based rock band, have been tearing up the Toledo rock scene for the past eight years or so, reviving sounds from the 1960s and 1970s and combining them with an electrifying version of contemporary rock, slowly making their way into the big leagues.

Few actors in the movie industry today are as dependable as Will Smith. As an actor, he's proven he can handle serious roles in "Ali," comedic roles in "Men in Black," and awful sequels like "Men in Black 2."

Directed by Peter Berg, the movie has a different tone from the other superhero flicks that have been pummeling the box office for the past few months.
