...Sant's terse (80 min.), remorseless film, made for HBO, describes, with fascination but no special urgency, a typical day at a generic high school. For minutes on end, the camera tracks the movements of several students at Watt High: a blond boy arriving late because he has been caring for his alcoholic father, an athlete and his pretty girlfriend planning their calendar, and two lads arming themselves for their own private Armageddon...
...since they don't want to be seen as profiting from an aids crisis that is devastating the African continent. But they worry that provisions would erode their patent rights for "lifestyle drugs" such as Viagra. The Fund has already decided that it will not shy away from buying generic antiretrovirals, whereas the U.S. bilateral program will more likely use patent drugs at cost - another reason some activists prefer the Fund's approach.

And then the shooting starts - a replay of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre...
With its unpretentious attitude and kitschy decor, the Barking Crab fits nicely into the genre of salty New England seafood shacks—multitudes of which line the coast. Unlike other generic seaside establishments, the Barking Crab has more to offer than a nice view. Typically, when a restaurant snags a stellar location, they forget to bring their food up to the same level—instead serving over-battered, over-fried assortments of semi-fresh seafood. After many bellyache-inducing meals of lackluster fisherman’s platters, it was refreshing to have seafood that wasn?...
