Not only did several actors portray the legendary - and legendarily elusive - singer/songwriter Bob Dylan in Todd Haynes's movie but those actors included actress Cate Blanchett. Moreover, the once and former Queen Elizabeth I did a credible job of depicting the former Robert Zimmerman in his diamonds-and-rust days. Marcus Carl Franklin, Christian Bale, Richard Gere, and Heath Ledger portrayed Dylan at various stages of his life and in various eras of American pop culture.

Multiple platforms (Sega)

OK, so this game version of the Marvel superhero has fantastic weapons, power control, chaotic, open-ended battlefields, and plotlines that go beyond the new movie that opened on Friday. But what we want to know is whether the game will have Robert Downey Jr.'s devastating way of delivering a line - a skill that, in the movie version, may elevate "Iron Man" from Hollywood's generally spineless superhero sagas.

Carol Felsenthal (HarperCollins)

If Hillary Clinton manages - in tenacious Terminator-like fashion - to win the Democratic nod for a presidential bid, all eyes will turn on both her and her husband. What would "First Laddie" Bill Clinton be like back in the Washington, but denied the head seat at the table? Journalist and biographer Carol Felsenthal examines the career of Bill Clinton after he left the White House and, like so many media marriage counselors, analyzes the Clinton's marriage, including tantalizing naughty bits about an alleged post-presidency girlfriend.

Age of Understatement (DOMINO)

With its lead song already a hit in the United Kingdom, "Age of Understatement" will hit American stores this week. Last Shadow Puppet is a collaboration between Alex Turner of Artic Monkeys and Miles Kane of Liverpool's The Rascals, who bring in Owen Pallett of Final Fantasy and James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco for producing and drumming duties. With its lush orchestration, driving beat, and a rollicking video that has the two singers cavorting with heavy tanks, "Age of Understatement" seems more of an overstatement with a catchy hook.
