...Stalin’s Soviet Union and gave to the University in 1930. When the bells arrived over 70 years ago, 17 of them went to Lowell House. But one was sent across the Charles River after a bell expert determined that two of them were too close in tone to be sounded at the same time. Yesterday’s ceremony marked another chapter in the decades-long saga to send the bells home and to commission and cast replacements for Harvard. The Business School’s new bell, which was dubbed the Centennial Bell in honor...

A dead-on match for McCandless, his persona on screen is moody enough to capture the societal angst of his character. With a bristly face and a slightly ironic tone, Hirsch might have the angry post-grad down better than Jake Gyllenhaal. Sean Penn, directing his fifth feature film, likely used some of his celebrity muscle to pull in supporting cast members Vince Vaughn, William Hurt, Marcia Gay Harden, Jena Malone, and Catherine Keener.
