...Venezuelan media report that Villa del Cine is also planning to produce a film version of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's historical novel about South American independence hero Simon Bolivar, The General in His Labyrinth. Meanwhile, critics are denouncing Chavez's move to revoke RCTV's license as another Castro-style authoritarian step to snuff out freedom of expression, following recent legislation that criminalizes slander against public officials. Chavez's backers insist that Venezuela is still replete with privately owned media that openly criticize him, and argue that his move against RCTV is justified because the network openly backed a failed...
...puppet troupe, ImaginArte, which performed a play about an Aztec god’s journey to the underworld. Members of a Harvard-based band, Mariachi Veritas, provided music. It was the third time that the consulate and the museum joined to host the event, according to deputy consul Rodrigo Marquez. The Peabody includes extensive collections of Mayan and Aztec artifacts. Death was on the minds of both the puppeteers and the protesters.

The crucial spurt was keyed by BC's fantastic freshmen, as point guard Tyrese Rice nailed a pair of three pointers sandwiched by a bucket from guard Marquez Haynes. The Crimson was unable to even get a shot off during the run thanks to a pair of turnovers—two of the season-high 22 that were forced by the swarming BC full-court press.The Eagles never had to sweat the rest of the night. Dudley scored...
...While most cast members jumped at the chance to reprise the roles which they premiered, there are two notable exceptions. The role of Joanne, originally played by Fredi Walker, is now being played by Broadway veteran Tracie Thoms. Drug addict/stripper with a heart of gold Mimi Marquez is played by Rosario Dawson, who, while a well-known actress, is a musical theater novice. Dawson is arguably one of the biggest names in the production, but many were uncertain whether she could hold her own beside such a formidable Broadway lineup. Thoms certainly lives up to Walker’s performance...
