...tries to keep a lid on things. All suspense and mystery in the thriller builds up but quickly deflates as the plot retraces past events without illuminating important details. “Righteous Kill” seems to slow down just so it can speed up again toward a lukewarm climax. The final twist is less shocking than it is groan-inducing. There are only a few good things to be found in the extremely mediocre movie experience that is “Righteous Kill”. At the beginning of the movie, De Niro and Pacino trade barbs...
What They're in French First Lady Carla Bruni might blame hubby Nicolas Sarkozy for the lukewarm reviews of her latest folk-pop album, Comme Si Rien N'Etait (As If Nothing Happened). Though nearly half a million people logged on to the chanteuse's website before the much hyped July 11 release, sales are slow, and 55% of French voters think Sarkozy is merely using his wife to boost his image.

...final report—much watered down from its initial drafts—enjoyed a lukewarm reception. It lacked the strong commitment to and enthusiasm for a coherent philosophy, and in the interim year and a half, whatever excitement there once was has dissipated.

Only 16 Gen Ed courses will be offered next fall, and only six more have been approved for the 2009-2010 academic year. In fact...
...Accelerate” is what its title suggests: a return to speed for R.E.M., the godfathers of alternative rock. Given the lukewarm responses to their last three decidedly-subdued albums, the band should be commended for cranking up the volume, letting loose, and creating their shortest album ever. But the results, though promising, aren’t immune to R.E.M.’s recent strains of mediocrity. The single greatest aspect of this album is the triumphant return of Mike Mills’ musicianship. As R.E.M.’s trusty bassist, Mills has been criminally overlooked for decades...
