...first year at Harvard, college wasn't exactly what it was supposed to be. It was fine, pretty fun, my classes were okay and I really liked my roommates, but somehow it wasn't as cinematic as I'd expected it to be. It wasn't the late nights of card games and deep talks I recognized from coming-of-age movies and my parents' sepia-toned reminiscences of their own time here, and it certainly wasn't Animal House (surprise, surprise). More often than not, it was a bunch of people trying just a little bit too hard...
...transitional phase. She is not doing this because she suddenly got a bad break. She's not doing it just to make it by until she gets her next job. She seems to do it because, well, that's what she does. While you and I spend countless late nights memorizing equations and writing papers, while our parents labor 10 to 12 hours a day in mind-numbing office environments to earn a paycheck, while our grandparents rest secure in the fact that all their efforts in scrimping and saving their meager wages from the meat-packing plant...

So, for those who saw Star Wars: Episode I this past summer -- and judging by the $792 million in box office receipts, many did -- you might have noticed a few of the trailers preceding the film promoted movies scheduled for release late in the bitter winter months.

Outside the Old City in Jerusalem, I found a group of ten year-old Arab boys, who always played soccer in the late afternoon. I became a regular member of their pick up games, trying to ignore the stares of tourists and passers...
...shots and a big handful of bra-strap headbands, and you've got a movie. But this movie is also a crash-course in teen angst, dealing with issues of deadbeat dads, cancer-fighting moms, weight problems and basically any other issue that can currently be seen on any late-night Lifetime movie. And, like any self-respecting teensploitation movie, the soundtrack is righteous--a noble dance version of Backstreet Boys "I Want it that Way" actually steals the show at several key party scenes. But--alas! never fear!--like any movie featuring a song by Britney Spears--you already...
