This is the fourth feature film directed by Adam Green. His past works include the cult-hit slasher “Hatchet” and the more upbeat comedy “Coffee & Donuts.” “Frozen,” also written by Green, represents a turn toward a more serious brand of horror and aims to set a more grim and realistic tone...
...senior guard Jeremy Lin, that streak could end this year. Lin, who tops Harvard in points (18.1 per game), rebounds (5.3), assists (4.5) and steals (2.7), has led the team to a 9-3 record, its best start in a quarter-century. Lin, a 6 ft. 3 in. slasher whose speed, leaping ability and passing skills would allow him to suit up for any team in the country, has saved his best performances for the toughest opponents: over his past four games against teams from the Big East and the Atlantic Coast Conference, two of the country's most powerful...

The South African sci-fi thriller District 9 was next with a $10.7 million weekend and a $90.8 million...
...another almost as big when “Attraction” came out two years later. They balked at the finished novel, though, which sends protagonist Patrick Bateman—a 1984 graduate of Harvard College and a 1986 grad of the Business School—on a slasher rampage up and down yuppie Manhattan.Bateman is a true psychotic for sure, but he’s a guy-next-door, red-blooded-American psychotic. His mania is success, his bloodlust is greed, and his pathology is passing. There was a Patrick Bateman—levered back in his chair, feet...
