...gentle hum of the projector, the Student Organization Center at Hilles Cinema buzzed with activity this weekend as enthusiasts joined student directors and producers for the inaugural Harvard Undergraduate Film Festival. Twenty-two short films were presented over the two-day festival, with submissions in fiction, documentary, stop-motion animation, and hand-drawn animation—as well as one music video. The event, a collaborative effort of SOCH administrators and several student organizations, was a welcome breath of fresh air at the chronically under-used student space. Colleen F.

...Investors who believe that Apple can still do well got a hand. Smart phone king Research In Motion (RIMM), maker of the Blackberry, posted strong earnings for the last quarter.

Or, even worse, consider saying yes? Whether...
...play at this game. Brüno, the Wrap's Sharon Waxman reported on Sunday, "has been slapped with an NC-17 rating on its first submission to the Motion Picture Association of America because of numerous sexual scenes that the ratings board considers over the line." The NC-17, which forbids admission to those under age 17, is a toxic label. Many theater chains won't play a film with that rating; some newspapers and TV networks won't advertise it; and retail behemoths like Wal-Mart won't stock the eventual DVD. (See the 100 best movies...
