...marks that he's supposed to give to his drug lord on a subway train. He and his girlfriend, fiery, red-haired Lola, have 20 minutes to scrounge up the dough. The movie unfolds in virtually real-time. Remember the last time we tried that? Johnny Depp in Nick of Time? To give the movie the juice it needs, director Tom Twyker directs Run Lola Run like a video game, programming Lola to be a lean mean running machine to hurdles an obstacle a minute.

And what of Albert Finney, the well-respected actor who appeared in films like Annie and Washington Square, who arguably plays the most sane (relatively speaking...
After sophomore midfielder Nick Lenicheck earned a corner, sophomore back Joe Steffa headed the free kick towards the Crusader's goal box. Petruccelli quickly corralled the ball after it was deflected and tucked it deftly into the bottom right corner...
