...regular who thinks his love of sports is a reflection of his masculinity. While this is the stereotypical picture of a sports fan, we all know that it is actually only a small subsection of the millions who tune in every Sunday afternoon and Monday night. From the start, Leitch??s oversight of the thousands of sports fans who don’t fit this pigeonholing description alienates readers like me. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Leitch addresses this audience in a hopelessly juvenile style. The jokes are lame, the asides irrelevant, the word choice beyond bizarre. (I still can?...
...tally. Quinnipiac managed to even the score halfway through the second period. The Bobcats’ first attempt on goal was deflected wide and sophomore goalkeeper Kyle Richter sprawled himself wide in front of the net in an attempt to block the goal, but Quinnipiac’s Bryan Leitch??s put the equalizer into the top right corner of the net. The tie didn’t even manage to last 30 seconds before the Crimson immediately answered with a power-play score of its own that ultimately proved to be the game-winner. Sophomore forward Doug...

Though the last film in the series employed...
Thus begins the thread of Green sympathy which seems to take the unassuming Hoffman by surprise and, by the documentary’s end, becomes clear as part of what is arguably Leitch??s unstated agenda. Watching Hoffman’s face during his frequent interviews with celebrities and less frequent interviews with congressmen becomes a show in itself; to measure by the expressions of adoration he gives these stars, one would never guess Hoffman was an established actor with intelligent roles under his belt. He gapes in agreement as Susan Sarandon reveals that “seeing...
...Leitch??s direction and Hoffman’s naïve approach, too many audience members will leave The Last Party weary of the U.S. political system and, like Hoffman, still averse to a political system they don’t, or maybe refuse to, understand. If the filmmakers wish to mobilize viewers at all, it’s Frank’s comment which should ring truest; that, in a country where politics will in the near future remain a workable system, the responsibility for voter apathy lies with the people themselves...
