...break is over, here’s a movie about a miserable, sex-craved New England college student (John Cusack) who hitchhikes all the way to California for a “Sure Thing”—“no questions asked, no strings attached, no guilt involved.” Or, in other words, Nicollette Sheridan. Since spring break is done and gone, do the next best thing and reminisce with a beer and a bag of cheese puffs. You may not get a tan in Cambridge, but at least a good buzz is a sure...
It’s not hard to see why “Under the Same Moon” (“La Misma luna”) received a standing ovation at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.

In exchange for collective guilt, whites have given King lesser victories, including a national holiday...
...driving Goliaths. This may be why the NCAA men's basketball tournament?where little mutts like geographically confused Cleveland State and it-can't-possibly-have-a-team Oral Roberts run with purebreds Duke and UCLA?grows in meaning every year. It may also be the gambling, the guilt-free jalapeo-popper binges or the camaraderie born when three-quarters of the workforce enters a two-hour conspiracy to disappear...
