...that we bear the city any hostility, or even care at all what goes on here. Mostly, we’re blissfully indifferent.According to some student groups, that’s a problem: we don’t care. To ascertain as much, it is necessary only to flick through the pages of this campus publication, where stories of broken House grilles and Lamont cake riots far outnumber weighty local issues. The Institute of Politics group H-Vote tries desperately to get students registered to vote locally, but we make up only two percent of the voting public come election...
...MOVIE IS BETTER: For a flick about small-time crooks, Ice Harvest packs some pretty big guns. The script is by Pulitzer prizewinning novelist Richard Russo (Empire Falls) and two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter Robert Benton (Kramer vs. Kramer, Places in the Heart). They smoothed out and sped up the book's curlicue plot, ratcheted down the raunch, added a couple of drama-class monologues and sweetened the book's rather heartless surprise ending...
...There is no one like this man working in entertainment today.The Crimson interviewed the self-described “organizer, producer, and mastermind of the Wu-Tang Clan,” because he is promoting “Derailed,” the trashy new Clive Owen-Jennifer Aniston flick, in which he plays Winston, the philosophical gun-toting sidekick of Owen’s cheatin’ man.

...about five minutes of screen time. Directed by Jon Favreau, “Zathura’s” plot moves fluidly from each board game challenge to the next. Like his “Elf,” (is he cornering the market on holiday kid flicks?) there are bits of adult humor peppered throughout the movie, particularly in the Astronaut’s sarcastic undertone. This “Swingers” vet still knows what’s money. Despite a noble attempt to appeal to a wide demographic, the movie is about thirty minutes too long...
...Amazing, too, has been the trajectory of this low-budget Australian horror flick. With a financing history as tortured as its plot (one of the producers had to mortgage his Adelaide home to raise the last of its budget), Wolf Creek was snapped up by the wily Weinstein brothers for international release. Opening in the U.K. in September, it grossed $3 million, roughly three times its budget; late last month it was nominated for seven Australian Film Institute Awards, including Best Director and Original Screenplay for Mclean. Fueling the buzz were reports of hardcore violence, including finger slashings and execution...
