...Eagles that would mark the start of a seven game losing streak, the Crimson’s inability to play disciplined hockey and capitalize on scoring chances established itself as a frustration that would haunt Harvard all throughout its mid-year skid. But those frustrations only wrote the background plot for the Beanpot Championship game. The storyline—the three goal third period deficit—is familiar to people who follow Harvard hockey.As senior co-captain Mike Taylor netted the game-tying goal in the third, thanks to perfect positioning in front of the net, a new team...

The movie follows nine-year-old Carlitos (played with sweet seriousness by Adrian Alfonso) as he crosses the Mexican-American border illegally after his grandmother’s death to search for his mother. The plot is conventional, but Carlitos...
...attractive actors to play the roles of the other survivors, whom I was determined to lead on a polar bear hunt. GroundTruth was even nice enough to humor my daydream by writing me into the script as a ferry survivor who suffered post-traumatic stress and confused the plot of Lost with his own disaster experience - a role to which I was ultimately unable to rise, because I am a lousy actor...
