...learn about your institution. It's not the biggest news, but go comb through the Crimson archives and find out that students picketed for hot breakfasts in the '70s, that a Funk Concert Happening did it in your earhole in Dunster a decade ago, or that Terrence Malick '66 was busy with his Husserl and Heidegger thesis before Badlands. When was the Red Line extended to Harvard Square? And do you know your American history? That is, ad campaigns from...
...Terrence Malick '66, The Thin Red Line: The reclusive, eccentric director has made only two pictures other than the current nominee, but both were hugely influential in the film community. Malick's limited filmography has only made him more of a critical darling--so far, he's three for three.

This is bothhis strength and weakness...
...critics praising this pseudointellectual, overindulgent mess? Terrence Malick makes his return to the industry he left 20 years ago with this WWII drama which not only is thunderously dull but also completely hollow. Instead of giving us involving drama, Malick shellshocks us with a 3-hour, superficial Discovery Channel special. But the big disappointment is the script--Malick's dialogue is not only empty but just plain silly. Visually stunning, of course, but a resounding failure...
