...South Africa, leaving behind his mega-successful “Chappelle’s Show.” Running parallel to Chapelle’s concert footage are scenes of him wandering around Dayton giving out tickets, jamming, and relaxing with his musical friends backstage. Interspersed with the film??s good vibes are brilliantly incisive commentary of modern America’s flaws and hypocrisies by Dave Chappelle, Dead Prez, Talib Kwali and Mos Def. Particularly stirring is an interview with Notorious B.I.G. collaborator Lil’ Cease, a recounting of the F.B.I.’s murder...

...with them to Cuba over winter break, I mentally cast myself in “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights.” I wear a clingy red dress, with a red flower nestled perfectly among my tumbling curls, as I sway my hips during a sensual salsa with the film??s heartthrob, Diego Luna. After all, the heroine of “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights” was a Radcliffe girl—I could find a sexy Latin lover too, right? But once I arrived, the Harvard side of my brain got the best...
