...attraction between Ben and Andrew. Most likely, it's just about personality, but Shelton suggests at times that there might be something more to it. Ben and Andrew are like a pair of little boys, pummeling each other constantly to make contact. Watching them in an angry wrestling match after a competitive basketball game, you start to think that maybe they should make out, crazy as it seems. That's the power of this subversive movie; it challenges us as much as it challenges its own characters. Humpday makes you squirm and think, in the best possible...

There's a legendary moment in Borat when you stop laughing and move on to a sort of desperate, horrified gasping because what you're seeing is, literally, beyond funny. That moment, of course, is the nude wrestling match between Borat, a hairy beanpole of a broadcaster from Kazakhstan, and his producer, a mountain of bearded blubber. When you're presented with a sight like that - the most purely awful spectacle since Divine sampled dog poop at the end of John Waters' Pink Flamingos - something more than mere laughter is required.

...there is no universal formula for treating the psychological conditions that plague us - depression, anxiety, stress - there's no one-size-fits-all trick to boosting happiness. In her recent book, The How of Happiness, Lyubomirsky aims to help joy-seekers find activities that are their best personal match. But for those who are better suited to technology than book-reading, she's just unveiled another tool, which is perhaps the ultimate sign that positive psychology has come of age: the "Live Happy" iPhone application, available free on iTunes...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Washington Nationals were counting on a match made in heaven when they picked Stephen Strasburg first overall in this year’s Major League Baseball amateur draft. On the surface, it was a no-brainer. Strasburg, who went 13-1 with a 1.32 ERA in his final season with San Diego State, was unanimously agreed to be the best player available; some experts even called the 20-year-old starter “the best pitching prospect ever.” By draft day, it was unthinkable that the first-picking Nats would...
