...have ever captured it until now. Latin America's poorly financed movie industry can be as erratic as the region's governments; but the infrequent hits are always worth the wait, and that's certainly true of Paraiso Travel, which opened last month in Bogota and is setting Colombian box-office records before it heads to New York's Tribeca film festival next month. Like other memorable Latin films of this decade, including Mexico's Amores Perros and Brazil's City of God, Paraiso Travel is as richly crafted as a fine Day of the Dead altar. But for Yanquis...
...unapologetically feel-good movie is the work of stand-up comic and native Ch'ti Danny Boon, who plays the role of Bailleul.

...junior co-captain Chris Clayton stood up to the bullet-like serves of his hulking opponent, 6’6” Mike Sroczynski, winning in two sets, 7-5, 6-4. Clayton put Sroczynski’s 120 mile per hour bullets to the corners of the service box back into play, and used his quickness to put himself on equal strategic footing. He also took advantage of his opponent’s relatively limited agility to rack up quick points using his increasingly dangerous arsenal of groundstrokes.“You’ve just got to wait...
...hard in the third period and didn’t rest until it had sucked the life out of Clarkson.The Crimson got its only power-play opportunity of the afternoon at 3:00 in the third, when Golden Knight Courtney O’Connor was sent to the box for interference.Harvard didn’t waste the advantage. At 4:11, sophomore defenseman Kathryn Farni sent a slapshot in from the blue line. Though Clarkson goalie Eve Grandmont-Berube made the initial save, senior tri-captain Caitlin Cahow picked up the rebound and got it to junior Jenny Brine.Brine buried...
