...mentor Ken (Brendan Gleeson) are sent to Bruges to cool their heels. As they wait for instructions from boss Harry (Ralph Fiennes), Ken wants to take in the sights but Ray would rather meet girls and make fun of American tourists. The film's first half is pure comedy, as Ken and Ray bicker like two overgrown schoolkids. Then a second hit goes wrong and things get bloody...

Books such as Christopher Hitchens' God Is Not Great and Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion often read like pure taunting, as when Hitchens pettily and pointedly types God as lowercase god.

After leading FAS from 1991 until 2002, Knowles stepped down as Dean and returned to pure academia. But when his successor—William C. Kirby—was forced out of office in 2006, Knowles’s dedication to the Faculty was proven when he returned to University Hall in 2006 for one year as the interim Dean of FAS. Even though he already had been diagnosed with cancer, Knowles returned at a time when the University needed him and has since then (and until very recently) been a reassuring presence at faculty events and University gatherings...
