...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...
...Sorority Row” masquerades as a thriller—shoddily. The film clings so tightly to the bottom tier of mediocrity that most of it can’t even be laughed at. It’s as though the movie strives to be a slasher film for people who don’t like scary movies or, perhaps, for prepubescent boys; there’s more nudity and outrageous partying than violence and suspense. Like most horror movies, “Sorority Row” centers on a series of almost implausibly poor decisions. But in addition...
...take was 63% higher than that of Halloween 2. The teen slasher film cadged $17.4 million and will finish the frame in third place, behind the Nazi-scalping-and strangling Inglourious Basterds. Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic dropped a less-than-expected 47% from last weekend to pull in about $20 million. In 10 days, the polylingual action drama has amassed $73.8 million in the North American market and another $60 million abroad - which, in any language, means boffo. 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...
...Take Slasher, for example, Allison Moore's comedy about an Austin, Texas, waitress who gets picked to play the last girl killed in a low-budget slasher film. Moore shows a real feel for the milieu: the Austin independent filmmaking scene, where cowboy film geeks meet up with cheeseball Hollywood wannabes. The encounter in which the film's hack director (a brilliantly smarmy Mark Setlock) discovers his star, Sheena, in a Hooters-style hangout, enlists her for his film and promptly gets rolled by her in contract negotiations, is as sharp and modulated a satire of Hollywood hucksterism as anything...
