...latter-day Bismarck, possessing the diplomacy and guile needed for dealing with the stubborn Prussian aristocracy (administration) and catering to the landless workers (students) through progressive social reforms (heavy drinking). Leo will use his superior judgment to supplement Frances’s fiery emotional rule, achieving a perfect equilibrium of well-reasoned policy and absolute totalitarianism. Together, I believe that these two candidates comprise the ultimate ticket, a golden ticket, if you will, to University President Drew G. Faust’s kooky factory of poor student relations known as the Harvard College Administration...
...short, this year’s tailgate represented a near perfect balance between fun and safety, and proved that such equilibrium can be struck without enforcement of Draconian policies. The tailgate was enjoyable largely because of an atmosphere of trust between law enforcement and students. No one was forced to be embarrassingly patted down and searched for liquids, and the police presence never feet hostile. Drinking and other forms of revelry were kept responsible, and police were able to do their job and make sure the situation never got out of hand...
...neighbors, Pais’ puberty issues, and one ubiquitously symbolic elm tree, and you have something close to the film’s narrative. The character dynamic, from the beginning of the film, is in a perpetual state of breakdown.

...lacks: a soundtrack. Virtually free of artificial sound, viewers experience the barren vistas of south Texas as McCarthy intended—an antediluvian void where angels exist, but far more devils can be found. In the midst of the total quiet, tension swells, revelations spread, and the great, monolithic equilibrium of chance reigns free. Set in 1980, the plot centers around Josh Brolin’s character, a hunter and Vietnam veteran who stumbles upon a suitcase containing several million dollars, left in the desert unclaimed when a drug deal goes bad. Brolin quickly finds himself in the crosshairs...
