...aliens so physically and socially disparate from humans that the director reveals their humanity as well as our own. What is most impressive is that the two central and most sympathetic aliens are not necessarily the reason for this; the executions and beatings of anonymous aliens emerge equally moving. The central alien and his son serve as the focal point for our sympathy, but they never monopolize it; despite appearances to the contrary, everyone is worth saving. Constrained by length and conflicting genres, Blomkamp must settle for a snapshot of this fascinating world, rather than a complete explication. This...
...first to experience the new Harvard Art Museum—if it opens by its scheduled date in 2013. Originally meant to reopen in 2012, the Harvard Art Museum is the renamed, renovated collective of the Fogg and Busch-Reisinger museums. The full renovation has necessitated moving almost the entirety of their 250,000 pieces to an offsite storage facility, a change which continues to affect students and art aficionados looking to appreciate the Harvard collections. “In order to start the renovation process, the entire collection needs to be moved and the space needs to be emptied...

The motives for such a move are varied: often a return to roots, as in Pearl Jam’s case, or as a marketing gimmick to present the album as different and important. In naming their seventh album “Wilco (the Album),” Jeff Tweedy and the band seem...
...Russians invaded Chechnya in 1994 to try to keep it part of Russia. They failed. In 1999, three years after the end of the first Chechen war, they went back, at the prodding of then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. In a move reminiscent of Tolstoy's hundred-year-old Hadji Murad - which was also set in a strife-ridden Caucasus - the chief separatist, Akhmad Kadyrov, like the title character in the prescient short novel, switched sides at the beginning of the second Chechen war and crushed the rebellion. Assassinated in May 2004, Kadyrov was replaced by his son. (From TIME...
