Remember Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle in 2004 or the first sequel, Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, in 2008.? If so, you'll feel like you've already seen A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, except that it's in 3D and set around the holidays. Slacker Kumar (Kal Penn), the son of Indian immigrants, is still shitfaced on weed. But Harold (John Cho), his Korean buddy, has made it on Wall Street (protesters are trying to occupy his office) and found a Latina wife who's ovulating. "Fuck a baby into me, Harold," she squeals. You get my point. We're getting more of the same, but less of the impact, like weed from a bad dealer. It's not long before Harold, or Roldy as Kumar calls him, is high again, pushing past weed into cocaine, Ecstasy and crack. A new character, the daughter of Harold's friend (Thomas Lennon), also gets to sample the goods. Hi-larious, huh? The openly gay Neil Patrick Harris, or NPH as we fans calls him, again portrays himself as a shameless pussyhound. "See you in the fourth," he tells the boys, hinting at yet another sequel. Say it isn't so. H&K are past their sell-by date. Way past.

    “Tonight's the Night”

    The Shirelles | 1960

    The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
