...minutes, "Rust" alternates between scenes of sheer cruelty and a type of low comedy, provided mostly by the shrieking, dull neighbor Miss Nancy (Tegan Willever), and a few familiar jokes about shouting in libraries and Geraldo Rivera. In the end, after his escape collapses just as his siblings have predicted, Brad comes close to a moral moment of truth--should he kill his mother, for all their sakes?--and Farnsworth does a good job in this scene, alternately stricken and hopeful. But the tension of the moment is dissipated in a ghostly flashback, which takes us back to the months...

Moreover, they contend that office space, which is a good measure of institutional sovereignty on this campus, should only be doled out to "God-fearing conservatives." What...
...wasn't David Graham immediately suspected by the police, especially since Graham picked up Jones (presumably at her home) to go out on a date the night of her murder? Jones must have told someone what her plans were that horrible evening. Certainly somebody, a parent, classmate or neighbor, must have seen Graham pick up Jones. Why did it take a lucky and foolish dorm-room confession by Graham's accomplice and girlfriend, Diane Zamora, nearly nine months later to bring about the arrest of this nefarious pair? The teenage couple knew precisely what they were doing. This...
