...That neat dichotomy - the tramp who turns Ronnie's head, the darling who's available to win his heart - should cue you that Observe and Report isn't going to have the courage to follow the premise to its logical conclusion. As ballsy as the movie is, it has one undescended testicle. It's bound to turn this disturbed cur into an underdog, and then a top dog. The bitter aftertaste that was permitted, in fact encouraged, in '70s movies is virtually verboten today. A feel-good ending is mandatory, even in a comedy like this, which promises...
Those are tough acts to follow. Still, it surprised me that the DSi - the i refers to the personal pronoun - is a bit of a snooze in its ambitions and a mess in some of its execution. The device, which is a tad thinner than the DS and has slightly larger LCDs, comes with two motion-detecting cameras.

We hope that this rhetoric was not a set of hollow excuses for dropping J-term activities but instead a sincere commitment to focus additional resources on these other pressing issues...
...position on gay marriage is still troubling to many gay-rights activists, who argue that accepting civil unions is equivalent to kowtowing to separate-but-equal schools for black and white children. Yet what will matter most in the immediate future is whether legislatures in other states will follow the example of Vermont. New Hampshire lawmakers may be the next to decide the fate of gay marriage, with a vote scheduled soon. The issue is on the calendar in other statehouses, too, including New York, New Jersey and Maine...
