This study, led by scientists at Yale Medical School, tracked more than 700 people ages 18 to 49 who had suffered a hemorrhagic stroke.

The only thing the saves Blair Witch 2, besides Berlinger's admittedly handsome visuals, is the presence of Donovan and Leerhausen, two actors who seem to be playing characters in a cooler, scarier, and all around more clever movie than this one.

In the year since the Columbine massacre, understandably nervous school officials have cycled through a series of responses, from lock-down drills to see-through knapsacks, with the impulsiveness of seventh-graders buying the boy-band CD of the moment...
