Bertolucci's 'Dreamers' ride the New Wave

By by Isaac Edwards and Isaac Edwards · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

Sex. Cinema. Politics. Pure Bertolucci. Opening to critical acclaim and controversy, such things synonymous with the name Bertolucci, Italian director and auteur Bernardo Bertolucci has crafted his finest return to form with the new film "The Dreamers."

Corporal 'Punish'-ment

By Neal Taflinger · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

Marvel Comics has gotten a lot of mileage out of a simple premise: Vietnam special operations vet Frank Castle comes home only to see his family gunned down in a gangland firefight. He experiences a psychotic break, dons a skull t-shirt and begins laying waste to criminals, hoodlums and anyone who looks at him sideways. Easy enough, right?

Tarantino to 'Kill' audiences with latest

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

Those of you out there who hated "Kill Bill: Vol. 1" (being an unabashed snobbish asshole, I refer to you as the culturally retarded), take solace. Quentin Tarantino, in his infinite wisdom, has created a captivating capper to this epic grindhouse saga which even you'll love.

'Outbreak' of PS2 'Resident Evil' letdown continues

By David Antognoli · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

Resident Evil Outbreak," Capcom's newest chapter of the ever-growing "Resident Evil" series, with its online premise, generated a bulge of hype and left many wondering just how Capcom planned to pull it off. The popular staple of the survival horror genre has always been about solving puzzles and slaughtering zombies in a scramble to uncover and thwart the source of the zombie infestation.

Soundtrack a cut above the rest

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

It's been said before and I'll say it again: Quentin Tarantino sure knows how to compile one hell of a soundtrack. Once more, he resurrects numerous forgotten musicians and songs, while seamlessly integrating his snappy dialogue into the proceedings. Those who dug the album accompanying "Vol. 1" may be disappointed with the new record.

Lovingly-crafted for lovers of power pop

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

Ben Kweller broke onto the scene two years ago with the inspired pop/rock of Sha Sha. A lot has happened since -- he's gotten married, toured extensively and teamed with fellow Ben's -- Folds and Lee -- for the solid The Bens EP. Now, he's returned with the less catchy but more mature, On My Way, and in doing so he's avoided the sophomore slump admirably.

A fresh alternative

By Benjamin Derrick · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

Split Shift enters mainstream hard rock with a bang. Its debut album, Tension, is creative but hardly unique. It follows a path laid by many bands before it by providing gut-wrenching grunge with slower lyrical passages. Tension opens well, tightly bound with an emotional soul, it releases fervor and sets the tone nicely.

THE DIRECTOR

By Chris Freiberg and Warren Christopher Freiberg · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

Sophomore Brandon Parker went to Los Angeles over spring break hoping to get lucky on "The Price is Right." And though his dreams of a "Showcase Showdown" didn't come true, he received an equally exciting parting gift for waiting in line: tickets to "The Wayne Brady Show."

Cedric's 'Johnson' flops

By Parker Witman and Parker Wittman · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

Go ahead, accuse me of breaking what has to be the cardinal rule of reviewing a movie. Come on, really. Tell me that I shouldn't have walked out before "Johnson Family Vacation" ended and tell me that, as such, I have no business discussing it in a public forum. You know what I think? That damn movie had no business wasting such a beautiful Saturday night.

THE ODD COUPLE

By Annie Tasker · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

One Arab, one Jew, one stage. It sounds like the set-up for an ethnic slur. But comedian Ahmed Ahmed and Rabbi Bob Alper are sending a message to audiences across the country that is anything but inspired by hate.

'Timeline' is a waste of time

By Richard Strohl · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

There are many differences between "Timeline" the book by Michael Crichton and "Timeline" the movie. For starters, the book is good.

THE PARTY PLANNER

By Jennifer Whalen · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

It's pretty much assumed that college students know how to throw a good party. But what if you could throw a party every day? Or better yet, what if you could earn a living by throwing parties?

R'N'R = AC/DC-core

By Mike Ley · Thursday, April 22,2004 12 a.m.

Boston boasts a hefty resume of hardcore music, going back to SS Decontrol and D.Y.S. R'N'R keeps greater Boston's tradition alive, but brings a unique sound to the otherwise bland hardcore of today. While many bands are ripping off Iron Maiden riffs, R'N'R is turning to AC/DC and Thin Lizzy for inspiration, belting out a bastard child which will make long-hairs and floor-punchers equally happy.

Exhibit blends Egyptian, Greek artistic traditions

By Lyssa Rebholz · Wednesday, April 21,2004 1:46 a.m.

Walking in, senior Afriza Mohd feels a bit intimidated by the face of Alexander the Great, whose statue looms overhead. She gasps at the Egyptian mummy lying in the center of a brightly-lit room. But she smiles at the showcase of beaded jewelry, consisting of coiled-snake rings, pendant earrings and beaded necklaces.

Redhawks not to be overlooked

By Alex Witteveld · Wednesday, April 21,2004 1:44 a.m.

The Hoosiers (21-14, 5-7 Big Ten) will take a rare break from conference play today to play host to the University of Miami-Ohio. Though IU is playing a non-conference foe, this doesn't mean the game will be easy. The Redhawks are 22-11 this season and were 36-24 last season as one the best teams in the Mid-American Conference (MAC). Last year, the Hoosiers traveled to Miami to play a game during conference play and lost 8-5. This year, IU hopes it will be different but team members are aware of the quality team they are facing in the Redhawks.

Insurgents kill 22, injure 92 in Baghdad

By Alyson Brodsy and Louis Meixler · Wednesday, April 21,2004 1:44 a.m.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Guerrillas fired a barrage of mortar rounds at Iraq's largest prison in Baghdad Tuesday, killing 22 prisoners in an attack a U.S. general said may have been an attempt to spark an uprising against their American guards. A U.S. soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in the northern city of Mosul, Iraq, the 100th American combat death in April, the deadliest month since the U.S.-led invasion began in March 2003.

Rep. detained at Ky. airport

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, April 21,2004 1:43 a.m.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Rep. John Hostettler of Indiana was briefly detained Tuesday when airport security workers found a handgun in his briefcase as he was going through a checkpoint on a trip back to Washington. The five-term Republican congressman was preparing to board a US Airways flight at Louisville International Airport when the gun was found, said his press secretary Michael Jahr. "Apparently the congressman had left a handgun in his briefcase and forgot it was in there and took it to the security checkpoint, where it was detected, and they detained him briefly to make sure he had no ill intent as they should do," Jahr said.

Junior Steve Zendel spent more than 30 minutes registering for fall semester classes -- double the time from past semesters. As a business major going into his last year of college, Zendel thought every aspect of senior year would be a breeze.

Council discusses athletics fee options

By Mike Wilson · Wednesday, April 21,2004 1:42 a.m.

Basing the number of season basketball tickets available to students on season football ticket purchases is one alternative to the $30 Student Athletics Fee, Interim Chancellor Ken Gros Louis said to the Bloomington Faculty Council Tuesday. Gros Louis said a certain number of IU student basketball tickets would be sold to the general public to increase revenue unless students buy an increased proportion of student football tickets. Gros Louis said he hoped this proposition would increase the number of football tickets purchased by students, as only 5,000 were sold last year.
