...seen in a major motion picture this year. Largely due to the laughable overacting, Regan’s character serves only as unintentional comic relief. The film also suffers from a lame and sedate narrator whose lack of urgency harms the film’s momentum. Overall, weak acting, horrible dialogue, and utter absurdity ruin what could have, and should have, been one of the year’s best. The action alone isn’t enough to carry the film. My expectations were high: millions of advertising dollars raised interest, the teasers generated a ton of hype...
...20th century programming. But the Internet is a transformative thing, and so with it we’re really trying to step up and catch up to the other colleges that we’re currently so far behind.”According to Koenigs, HRTV is finally gaining momentum. “Ivory Tower” is currently in its latest online season, with the third episode set to debut on Sunday, March 11.“Crimson Hookups,” a dating show, is about to film an all-male episode, and “Respectively French?...

...honest struggle to rebuild his broken life is a moving one, but the plot drags, then comes to a complete stop. Emotions run high from the start as the film plunges into an aggressive war between the mainlanders and islanders, but McCrudden fails to maintain that momentum. Moreover, the cinematography lacks inspiration. Many of the shots border on cliché: Cole pushing his daughter Sara on the swings to illustrate his former idyllic life; a blooming flower to symbolize rebirth; Cole’s constant, brooding face looking out to the ocean. Despite the lackluster storyboarding, shining performances from...
...expected at ostensibly left-wing Harvard, and women were a substantial component of the vocal opposition. They accused the availability of free condoms as objectifying women; by tacitly making sex no big deal, the argument was, women suffered. The viewpoint is nothing new; a rightist minority had been gaining momentum at Harvard for years, before the condoms and a not-for-credit class called Female Sexuality (FemSex), held at a newly opened Harvard College Women’s Center, gave students of all political backgrounds something to say. But the name the conservative women were giving themselves, one previously almost...
