Free Moby show

Need something to do Tuesday night? How about a free DJ set with Moby at Smart Bar? The secret MySpace show starts at 9 p.m. and is open to the public, but we'd suggest you arrive early before the club reaches capacity. (Holy Ghost!, Justin Miller and Jacques Renault open.) Moby released his latest album, "Last Night," April 1.

Box office blog: Defeating 'Sarah Marshall'



Despite glowing reviews and a hugely comprehensive ad campaign, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" placed second at the weekend box office with $17.3 million. Not bad, but kind of disappointing for such a sweet, funny romantic comedy, and especially sad since the movie lost to "The Forbidden Kingdom," the mediocre Jackie Chan-Jet Li adventure that pulled in $20.9 million. At least the top spot didn't go to Al Pacino's deeply embarrassing "88 Minutes," which landed at No. 4 with only $6.8 million. Nice work, America.

Why do you think "Kingdom" outperformed "Marshall"?
