...could go on, but who am I kidding? Critics aren't expected to review Bond films so much as test-drive them. In that spirit, here's a quick rundown, on a scale of 0 to 10. Opening credit sequence: 5 - the usual semi-abstract woman's form, liquid and monumental. The song: 4 - Jack White and Alicia Keys duet on a power-pop number that's tenacious but not delightful.

We take seriously both these rules...
...Harvard crest, along with a barrage of pink hearts. Gives a new meaning to the Pink(y) and the Brain. I, for one, heart this trend. Why not infuse your sweats with style? We Harvard types love to multitask, and what better way to simultaneously put your school spirit and fashion prowess on display than by donning Pink’s new Harvard garb? (Victoria’s) Secret’s out: the Harvard brand is pretty pervasive—you can find the “big H” on pretty much everything from dog bowls...
