Year in Review 2007: Look ahead
On the first day of 2008, we're confident in predicting that the rising Dallas Center for the Performing Arts will cause some real excitement this year as the buildings grow skin on their bones and organizations start announcing new executive staff and programming for the official 2009 opening.

Year in Review 2007: Obituaries
Now that the end is near, let's take a moment to consider The End. Death is always a tricky topic to bring up – it's such a downer, a real conversation killer – and never more so than as the year is ending with everyone in such a holly-jolly mood and the holiday party season in full swing.
Year in Review 2007: TV
It's hard to take a look back at the year in television when, thanks to the writer's strike, all the big questions (and answers) lay in the year ahead.
Year in Review 2007: Video Games
Video game fans are enjoying a new golden age. The past year has seen an incredible run of top-notch software catering both to casual gamers and hard-core hobbyists, and all three of the main consoles are turning out to be great platforms.

Year in Review 2007: Movies
Too soon!" was the cry when a pair of 9/11 films showed up in 2006. But this year, when a battalion of war-and-terror themed movies marched into theaters, the response was more like "Who cares?"

Year in Review 2007: Restaurants 
Read and see a slideshow of the top 10 new restaurants of 2007, and read lists of Restaurant Critic Bill Addison's 10 personal favorite upscale places, new restaurants and notable closings.
Year in Review 2007: Pop music
Graybeards like the Police, Van Halen and Bruce Springsteen continued to pack arenas a quarter-century after their glory days. But what will come of Daughtry, Fergie and Josh Groban?

Year in Review 2007: Night life
Club-going this year in sum: Teeter down the stairs to the freshly rehabbed basement ultra-lounge with the short, odd name. Ask about bottle service specials. Endure cold stare. Hear DJ play Jay-Z/Linkin Park mash-up for hundredth time. Rinse. Repeat.
Year in Review 2007: Latin music
Latin music CD sales slid south in 2007, with barely 21 discs topping the 100,000 mark. But it wasn't for a lack of superstar releases.

Year in Review 2007: Books
As our reading becomes more and more connected to the screen, there is a danger that discussion of books will resemble television's favorite food groups: scandal, sex, bankruptcy, glamour and the cult of personality.
Year in Review 2007: Country music
Contemporary country music is youth-driven, which makes it no different from any other commercially viable genre.
Year in Review 2007: Classical music and opera
The big news on the local classical music scene was the appointment of Jaap van Zweden as music director of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Formerly a virtuoso violinist, the outgoing Dutchman doesn't take over until September 2008, but his first concerts as music director-designate suggested this could become one of the hottest conductor-orchestra partnerships anywhere.

Top 10 most clicked Entertainment stories
A chance meeting between Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and princess of pop (for better or worse) Britney Spears drew the most page views from GuideLive.com readers in 2007. Other top clicks for readers included a call to find the best Tex-Mex in the city, more insight into the lives of Tony Romo and Britney Spears, Owen Wilson's suicide attempt and the memorial concert to celebrate the life of Dallas musician Carter Albrecht.

Year in Review 2007: Theater
It was a very good year for Dallas theater lovers. Lots of our established theater artists reached new levels in production and performance. This top 10 list could easily have stretched out to 25.

Year in Review 2007: Visual arts
The year in the Dallas art world might best be summarized by the John Denver song, "Leaving on a Jet Plane." So, after 2007, who's still around?
12/17/2007
Year in Review 2007: Hip-hop and R&B
Depending on who's asked, the genre of hip-hop is ready for either its last rites or a resurrection.

Year in Review 2007: Local celebrities
Back in January when Tony Romo famously bobbled our playoff dreams, no one would have believed we were watching the prologue instead of the finale. It was the beginning of 12 months of celebrity feasting.
Year in Review 2007: Pop culture
This is the year that celebrity culture went off the rails. Leading the way was the Hollywood triple threat of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. How do we hate all this celebrity love? Let us count the wayward.
Year in Review 2007: Dance
Try quirky, arch, ironic and high energy – that seems to be the direction modern dance is going. Ballet training has also crept in everywhere, giving a high gloss to forms so distinctive as modern, tango and even flamenco. And modern has made inroads into ballet, sometimes to the extent of choreographers ditching pointe shoes, and sometimes not. But plenty of room remains for the classical style, as pristine as ever, as you'll see from these picks of the best 10 performances of the year.
