...making of these underground movies gives Black a chance to put his usual ham on wry, and for Def to exhibit a gallery of eloquent shrugs. It's also a way for Michel Gondry, the French writer-director who worked with Charlie Kaufman on the Jim Carrey time-slip comedy Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, to bang home his point that all moviemaking, whether a tiny indie film or a Michael Bay extravaganza, are communal enterprises. The whole town not only lines up to rent Mike and Jerry's faux films, they join in their production, serving as extras...
...vaguely interesting questions. But to come over to my house for dinner? That's a trap no sucker has ever shoved a famous foot into. Partly because there are so many unknowns-you're stuck alone chatting up the family while the reporter cooks, you accidentally let slip a cruel joke about a wedding photo, you somehow use the bathroom wrong-and partly because who the hell wants to spend Saturday night stuck at some dork's house eating undercooked lamb?

The squad lost the doubles point to the Cavaliers after dropping the deciding game, 9-8, but eventually tied the match score back up at 2-2 with wins by junior Beier Ko and freshman Samantha Rosekrans. Harvard, however, let victory slip out of its hands as it dropped the next two singles matches in straight sets. “We had a couple players who couldn’t play with injury and on a different day it could have gone the other way,” Peterzan said. The Crimson will have...
...lacks the sense of danger and immediacy that a zombie apocalypse usually warrants. It is essentially a road movie, and yet the destination—the home of the narrating heroine—is neither an exciting nor remote destination. They haphazardly change locations throughout the movie. While this slip in pacing in no way breaks the movie, it is clear that Romero thrives on telling stories set in confined areas (see the aforementioned farmhouse from “Night of the Living Dead,” or the mall from “Dawn of the Dead...
