...palpable horror and profound sadness at any death of a young person with so much potential. Sometimes, though, if we are honest with ourselves, we may have the fortitude to resist the seemingly inevitable inertia ushering us towards unqualified despair. A.E. Housman found such a vision in his timeless “To an Athlete Dying Young,” when he bids a deceased youth farewell with the heartening words, “Now you will not swell the rout / Of lads that wore their honours out / Runners whom renown outran / And the name died before...
...area is the heart of the place. Dim lighting, huge wicker chairs, soft music from a jukebox and lush plants provide a romantic and exotic setting. While the restaurant has been in business for 40 years, renovations have made the bar feel up to date without destroying its timeless elegance.

When the terrorist eludes capture, Brewer decides to seek vengeance for his family...
Crossroads, clearly a timeless tale of youthful rebellion and a brilliant metaphor for the trajectory of our lives, concerns three childhood friends in Georgia who have followed different paths since being in high school. Kit (Zoe Saldana) took the tempting cheerleading, Mimi (Taryn Manning) is naturally the opposite (big loser) and Lucy (Britney Spears) is the straight-A valedictorian with exorbitantly large breasts. Obviously, these restless young ladies need a cross-country road trip for a dose of self-discovery to ease that angst. Think Thelma & Louise plus Friend and Hot Guy set to “Not a Girl?...
