...first step in gaining momentum—or continuing it, since the team is coming off a strong three-point North Country weekend—would be a victory tonight over Vermont. The Catamounts (8-19-4, 6-13-1) have been the ECAC’s cellar-dweller for much of the season, thanks in large part to a 13-game winless streak to begin the season, but in recent weeks have hit their stride. Vermont comes to Bright Hockey Center with a four-game win streak and will be eager to avenge its 6-4 loss to Harvard...
...Princeton: Len Quesnelle’s Tigers have struggled all year, and they will continue to struggle over the last four games. Its amazing to think that the Crimson has a three-game losing streak to the perennially cellar-dwelling Tigers. A 1-3 finish with a win over Vermont is the best Princeton can expect...
...most explosive action in the film--its equivalent of a car chase--comes when Folke moves a salt cellar and Isak has trouble finding it. Yet Hamer reveals a surprising richness in these lives. Isak's beloved workhorse is dying, and his neighbor, his only friend, grows increasingly jealous of Folke's presence. As for Folke, living in a cramped trailer parked outside, wearing a suit and tie in his observer's chair, his life is constrained. As far as we know, his only human contact is an aunt who sends him food parcels...

But over each unique instrumental backdrop comes that same mono-stylistic voice that Vanderslice can’t seem to outgrow. His intensely sincere, melodic moan pushes already overwrought lyrics...
...Cellar Door’s not-quite-emo won’t be a problem for everyone—Vanderslice is the kind of guy who makes every mopey English concentrator’s day by adapting Shelley for his lyrics, rediscovering British Romantics as proto-Obersts. But as perfectly-crafted as each individual song is, listening to the full album makes you want to remind Vanderslice not to forget to be cool, in that distant, disaffected sense of the word. Sometimes caring too much is a bad thing...
