...away, even after Brandeis went cold from the field and the Judges' main scoring threat, center David Brooks, took a seat on the bench after a cut above his left eye refused to stop bleeding. Harrington's 10 points, and eight each from starting forwards Andre James and Everardo Greenaway kept Brandeis close...

...change in labels, announced last week by the Motion Picture Association of America, climaxes months of high-minded wrangling among filmmakers, movie reviewers and the Hollywood establishment. When Xs were handed out to such distinguished foreign films as Pedro Almodovar's Tie Me Up!

Similarly, Greenaway -- inspired by Jacobean revenge plays and Dutch masters' paintings -- stuffs the viewer with ripe images and raw language. He tests your appetite for intelligent sensation. For many it may be a daunting test, but it is worth taking. Elegant and rancid, this movie rates an X as in excellent...
