...Williams ’09 is perhaps the most versatile among the cast as Titus‘s brother Marcus: alternately passionate and level-headed in his grief, and touchingly tender toward his mangled niece. As Tamora, Soler is every inch the vengeful hussy. Rapists Demetrius and Chiron (Jason R. Vartikar-McCullough ’11 and Daniel R. Pecci ’09) are chillingly rambunctious and buffoonish in their cruelty. There is a particularly searing moment when they execute Lavinia’s rape scene completely aurally from off stage. The red-bandaged, mutilated Lavinia then staggers pathetically...

In “Revolver,” gambler Jake Green (Jason Statham) emerges from seven years in prison with the perfect winning strategy, learned in solitary from the two cell mates on either side of him. Green uses his method to quickly win mega-bucks from crime boss Dorothy Macha (Ray Liotta), who responds, not surprisingly, by ordering...
...That is, unless you exploit it like Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock, who used Taylor’s murder as an opportunity to bash his favorite piñata: hip-hop. Whitlock has a long history of railing against gangster rap and the element of black culture it represents—the “Black KKK,” as he calls it. To Whitlock, the evolution of this genre is a cause of black Americas’ high crime rates and low socioeconomic status. He puts some of the blame for Taylor’s death, as well...
