CONTRARY TO the titular claim, Rosencrantz (Linus Gelber) and Guildenstern (Andrew Watson), those two fatuous forgettables out of Hamlet, have been revived once again. Poor fellows, they're forced once more to wrestle with the existential riddles of Tom Stoppard's 20-year-old classic. Lucky for us, though, because the Leverett House production is a compellingly clever and lively show, a splendid send-off for the house theatricals season...

...FIRST GLANCE at that wonderfully extended first glance over Nicollette Sheridan (the very titular Sure Thing). Rob Reiner's new movie looks like some hybrid of a late night blue movie on cable, an updated It Happened One Night with a junior prom live! soundtrack. But the putative story line--incompatible boy meets non-patible girl, girl rejects boy, girl and boy get thrown together on long trip, fall in love, break up, stumble back in love, kiss in moonlight, roll credits, sell cable rights, ad clicheum--stays mercifully irrelevant in what soon becomes a veritable impros comedy feast coated...
