...crack a smile, and to crack up the audience with a joke, a silly song or his elastic, eloquent body English. Lately, though, the most reliable box-office magnet in Hollywood hasn't given himself or his fans much to laugh at. He was a tough, emotionally constipated cop chasing androids in I, Robot, and an ambitious man who loses his job, his home and his wife - everything but his young son - in The Pursuit of Happyness. Except for a romantic holiday in Hitch, the one-time Fresh Prince has become a stolid, solitary warrior in a gulag of gloom...

In “Walk Hard,” Reilly shows off his musical talents for the first time since 2002?...
...arguable the UC doesn’t have the power to do anything substantive and, instead, that we have to be realistic. But “being realistic” is not something Harvard students should readily accept. “Being realistic” is a cop-out. Only by pressuring the administration to do something “unrealistic” can change actually occur. Most people here care about the UC. People swear the UC doesn’t matter, yet countless numbers of people end up writing editorials about it. We want it to make...
