Disney has always been synonymous with family-friendly fun.

In recent years, however, that family-friendly fun is no where to be found in flicks like “High School Musical” and “Hannah Montana,” which amuse the tween crowd but leave the rest of us cringing.

And then, there was “Prom,” released on DVD and Blu-ray Aug. 30.

As simple as that title might seem, don’t let it fool you — for a movie revolving around a high school dance, this one sure has a lot of heart.

As the weekend is coming to an end and Sunday night approaches, people are winding down and getting ready for the week ahead. But not the people in Norman — for them, it’s just another night at The Deli, 309 White St.

It is not a rule that a person has to be a student to partake in what The Deli offers. There are many locals that are at The Deli every Sunday night. It is not even a rule that you have to be an OU student to be allowed in: There are often students from many metro-area colleges at The Deli.

Don’t be discouraged with the occasional long line at The Deli, because it will move quickly and there is a view to everything going on in the inside.

DreamRift’s “Monster Tale” is a fairly new game with a message that’s been around for thousands of years.

The message is that people set rules and tell you what to do for a reason.

Why is a morality tale in a video game though? Classically, morality tales were told to impart a lesson.

What I got from the game is that you should do your chores, don’t play so rough with your toys, and that you aren’t the center of the universe.

A recent visit to Déjà Vu Salon & Spa located off Interstate-240 and Walker left me reminiscent of my past experiences in hair salons, and that feeling was anything but déjà vu.

Too often my experience with hair stylists has been a beauty disaster.

Either they cut too much off or have styled it into something that resembled a French poodle.

Never a good combination when you are a young woman aiming to have style that would make the Kardashians envious.

Déjà Vu is your stereotypical hair salon: stylists sporting the latest in hair trends, the aroma of top-of-the-line professional hair products, and the sound of blow dryers mixed with the useless chatter of salon gossip.

The new “Conan the Barbarian” movie wasn’t too terribly bad, though there were a few issues that are fairly noteworthy.

While the action scenes were actually quite good, when it got bloody, it looked like somebody literally dropped a water balloon full of red paint, even when a sword hit armor.

In the latest installment, Conan is extremely crude, as is expected with the stereotypical barbarian.

He is a womanizer, drinks large amounts of alcohol and is extremely violent. Jason Momoa played the part quite well in that regard.

Azuka, a young African girl, is born with a tainted birthmark that deeply resembles the mark of Uru, a long-dead evil sorceress who once terrorized villagers with death and destruction.

Because of the birthmark, Azuka’s mother does her best to keep her isolated from others in their village for Azuka’s safety — but to no avail.

When the mark is discovered by others Azuka’s mother is forced to resort to drastic measures order to save Azuka’s life.

It’s been rough on the wallet for the last couple of years, and planning a date or a fun night out with friends can be difficult.

But for those who enjoy shooting pool, or a round of billiards, salvation is at hand.

Chester’s, a hole in the wall establishment on NW 50th and May, tucked away behind the Walgreens, is everything fans of the game could want in a pool hall, with few of the drawbacks.

Pricing is remarkably low, starting at $3.50 per person per hour for up to four people.

Looking for something different to do with your Friday night? Pops may be your answer.

Located just off Route 66 in Arcadia, Pops is a restaurant that will ensure your dining experience is a unique one.

Set up like an old-style diner, Pops is home to nearly 600 varieties of soda from all over the world, organized by color and flavor.

For sale at just $2.19 a bottle, customers have the option of selecting a soda and consuming it with their meal, or purchasing some to take home and enjoy later.

As you walk into Pops, it is not the friendly employees, the gift shop, or even the gas station on which the base of the restaurant is built that first catches your eye, but the glass windows that show off thousands of colorful beverage-filled pop bottles that surround the facility.

“The Help,” a best-selling novel by author Kathryn Stockett, was recently turned into a movie of the same name.

The story focuses on race relations between what was then considered the Southern upper-class white society and lower-class African-American society in the 1960s.

Starring Emma Stone as Skeeter Phelan, Octavia Spencer as Minny Jackson, and Viola Davis as Aibileen Clark, the movie tackles the numerous class and position obstacles folks in the South faced.

Aibileen Clark, the maid plus nanny, is one of the main characters of the movie.

She has to deal with raising well-to-do Caucasian children while also dealing with the earlier loss of her son.

“Guess what? You just brought a gun to a bomb fight, officer!”

This line, spoken by Nick, played by Jesse Eisenberg. captures the spirit of “30 Minutes or Less.” The movie takes a tired, played-out cliché and revives it with pithy comedic timing that parallels reality, albeit a twisted reality.

The movie was directed by Ruben Fleischer, known for the equally morbid comedy — also starring Jesse Eisenberg — “Zombieland.”

Nick, a regular, everyday normal guy, finds himself a pawn in an oddly disturbing and sinuous string of events resulting in Nick and his best friend Chet, played by Aziz Ansari, having a measly 10 hours to come up with $100,000.

Failure to do so will result in an inescapable homemade bomb strapped to Nick’s chest bringing a swift and miserable end to his lackluster life.
