...seemed to indicate that it wasn’t a priority for many Hillel members. Nevertheless, organizers were not disappointed. “Any time you can get people to come on a weeknight to discuss religion, it’s a good turnout,” says Rabbi Ethan Linden, advisor to Hillel’s Student Conservative Minyan and host of the game show. And after all, “Jeopardy” can only get three people to play. Although the game was not competitive, contestants with correct answers were rewarded with thematic—albeit aseasonal?...
...associated with masturbation? All these questions were answered at “Kosher Sex: The Game Show,” an event held yesterday evening as part of “Jewbilation,” a week-long celebration of Jewish life on campus sponsored by Harvard Hillel. Rabbi Ethan Linden, the rabbinic advisor for Hillel’s Student Conservative Minyan, hosted the event, which featured a Jeopardy-style game show and a close reading of a Torah passage. “The literature on sexuality in Jewish law is vast,” said Linden...
...Andy is a drug addict. His wife (Marisa Tomei) is cuckolding him with his own brother (Ethan Hawke). He is in trouble at work - well-founded suspicions of embezzlement - and he is also the masterless mind behind a plan to rob a suburban jewelry store - which just happens to be owned by his very own parents (Albert Finney and Rosemary Harris).

In particular, he has lost any hope of understanding from his tightly wound ex-wife (Mia Sorvino). And he is surely no match for Ethan Lerner (Joaquin Phoenix), implacably determined to find his son's killer and punish him with something more than a short jail sentence. Ruffalo is a very good goof-off, at once likable and infuriating, but eventually it is Phoenix who takes over the picture. He's playing a mild-mannered, doubtless...
...curious thing happens as he embraces what amounts to temporary insanity; our sympathy shifts to Ruffalo's Dwight, as slowly he begins to rediscover his better self. We have no doubt that, eventually, he will do the right thing and turn himself in. If, that is, the grief-maddened Ethan does not find and kill him before that happens. Put simply, the suspense of this movie derives less from its dramatic premise than it does from vivid, increasingly contrasted, characters. It sometimes feels a bit repetitive - each of the two men is stuck for too long in an immovable emotional...
