After reading the Initial Benchmark Assessment Report on Iraq, I have made the difficult decision to support the Responsible Redeployment from Iraq Act.
May I offer some other benefits of I-69 that the protestors failed to realize? When I graduated from the IU School of Business in 1951, we came from and returned to school the same way as we do now: by State Road 37.
In regards to the “Sink the Quiz” editorial (July 5): As a fellow IU graduate, I can tell you Thursday night was the biggest party night of the week – we actually nicknamed it “Blackout Thursday.” That is because people would get so drunk, they would black out.
The few days after the initial viewing of a Harry movie are always touchy, so as I've done with the previous films, I'm sure I'll get over my complaints and learn to love this movie. But until then, it gets a B+
"Order of the Phoenix" is incredibly fun and entertaining, despite the serious attitude it so deservingly takes. You don't have to read the books to enjoy the films, and I fully plan on seeing "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" come 2008. I'd even jump at the chance to join Dumbledore's Army if I could.
The arc of the season finds Millman trying to reconcile his dreams of creating a meaningful comedy series and earning the respect of his peers versus pandering for ratings and the cash that comes with them. It's a dilemma all successful artists have to deal with at some point, and it's tackled here with grace, wit and hilarity.
BEER BEER BEER BEER
Repeated listens reveal plenty of fine moments. Besides its hooks, "No I In Threesome" is a wonderfully cheeky number about convincing a reluctant partner to, well ... guess. "Heinrich Maneuver" boogies vigorously and carries some small hints of R.E.M. "Mammoth" has absolutely towering instrumentals, which should help justify my "shoegaze" claim above. And "All Fired Up" is a great little anthem complete with a fist-pumping chant ("I'll take you on!").
When I think awesomeness, I think Michael Mellini
This movie is not bad, but not great. I suppose it might be a fair alternative if you go to the video store and every other movie with the plot "family man gives a finger to the naysayers and overcomes great obstacles to achieve his long-lost dream" has already been rented. Otherwise, stick to movies such as "The Rookie," which did this plot before and better than this movie.
These guys still have it in them. They aren't just going through the motions; you can feel the heart in their music. While many punk bands don't last more than a couple of years, Bad Religion is still kicking ass after 27 years. If you haven't gotten a chance to see them live, do it. They'll blow you away.
The next few songs are solid, and there aren't any worth skipping. However, it took a lot of restraint not to press the repeat button anytime "You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb" came on, and I was constantly rooting for "The Underdog" at track seven. Smartly chosen as the first single, "The Underdog" is a grandiose tribute to the little guy. It bursts with horns and a constant feeling of crescendo. It's helped greatly by being the only song produced by Jon Brion (known for working with Kanye West) who gives the song a Phil Spector-esque wall-of-sound feel. I typically find myself listening to the track after my favorite song on any album because it ends up getting played often by association. Luckily on this album, the song after "The Underdog" is the rhythmic guitar, layered-vocal treat "My Little Japanese Cigarette Case."
For horror-lovers, "Captivity" will be one of the summer's biggest disappointments. For film-lovers, it will be appalling. For fun-lovers, it will be a bore. For slaughter-house owners, it will be like a day at work. Skip "Captivity" if you want to keep your dinner down.
I put a spell on you
Purists should be cautioned against the movie's promiscuous use of distorted camera angles, at once panoramic and claustrophobic, and its subtle patriarchy (Emma whimpers and plots, while her brother builds a bridge to the future -- "Wonderland" or "Narnia" this movie is not). And while "The Last Mimzy" has a number of poignant moments, it is simply too sanitized to merit higher marks.
Most of my barley brethren end up in cereal. Others end up in health food. A select few, like myself, have the distinct pleasure of becoming beer. My name is Brixton, and this is the story of how I became Upland Wheat Ale.
The terrorist network al-Qaida will likely leverage its contacts and capabilities in Iraq to mount an attack on U.S. soil, according to a new National Intelligence Estimate on threats to the United States. The declassified key findings, to be released publicly on Tuesday, were obtained in advance by The Associated Press.
More than a day after a powerful earthquake shook northern Japan, officials revealed Tuesday that a nuclear plant suffered a long list of problems including the leakage of radioactive water, an outbreak of fires and burst pipes.
INDIANAPOLIS – Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson recently predicted that skyrocketing property tax increases in Marion County and other parts of Indiana would kick off a blame game.
INDIANAPOLIS – Five Indiana counties that switched to Central time last year would be allowed to move back to Eastern time this fall under a proposal announced Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
