Local knowledge is essential in a neon jungle like Hong Kong. Restaurateur, architect and Hong Kong resident Frank Sun recommends starting with a drink at the historic Mandarin Oriental hotel, followed by a walk to Sheung Wan--a "very different side of old Hong Kong and one that is rapidly disappearing." Satisfy your appetite at the Tung Po seafood restaurant in North Point, above the market at 99 Java Road, a 20-minute tram ride away. Once you're stuffed, Sun says, a cab is the quickest way to the funkiest bar in town, Feather Boa. The antiques store turned...
...Vantage Point is a wan title for such a bustling movie. (Since it's William Hurt in the terrorists' gun sights, it could be called Kill Bill.) But if it hints at the title of a famous 1970 car chase movie, Vanishing Point, that makes sense, since the new film argues that terrorists can be tracked down not by super-sleuthing or political back-channeling, but because of the fanatically assured driving skills of a lone government agent.

...GPSTS, Andrew Woods, boasted of a few of GPSTS’s recent milestones, including a sweet Harvard victory over Yale at GPSTS’s first interscholastic team poker tournament this past November.

...Compton ’09). The opening musical number features some surprisingly capable singing. Compton’s voice comes off strong even when a repeated ‘ribbet’ comprises his only sung line. Andersson and Daniel V. Kroop ’10 as the character Wan Childpolicy also display considerable genderbending vocal talents. Even as the jokes wear on, the Pudding keeps the audience’s attention as new characters bring even more personality to the show. Giuseppi T. Boppityboo (S. Adam Goldenberg ’08, who is also a Crimson editor...
...more robot than man. Moss is a hired gun brought in by the Empire to ruthlessly eliminate its enemies, leaving destruction in his wake in the form of broken touchdown records. Coach Tom Coughlin leads the Rebellion, otherwise known as the upstart Giants. Coughlin plays the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi, a seemingly crazy old man who makes a sacrifice (Kenobi’s life, Coughlin’s archaic style of authoritarian coaching) for the good of his cause. Eli Manning stars as Luke Skywalker, the reluctant hero with a slow learning curve who realizes his true potential just...
