By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, May 24,2006 9:13 p.m.

Forget movie critics. There may be no more unforgiving, opinionated and passionate film audience than the one in cyberspace -- the fans, the obsessives and the self-proclaimed geeks who hang out in Internet discussion forums commenting on every casting decision, every script rewrite and every shred of pre-release advertising material for movies that haven't even been made yet.

Convoluted plot crushes 'Confidential'

By C. Warner Sills and Doug Evans · Wednesday, May 24,2006 8:38 p.m.

Director Terry Zwigoff and comic book writer Dan Clowes team up again in attempt to duplicate the success of 2001's "Ghost World." And while their newest collaboration, "Art School Confidential," has a devious sense of humor and wit comparable to "Ghost World," "Art School" is not able to sustain a sense of empathy for its characters, and therefore the film stumbles long before its resolution.

Seeking the Holy Grail

By C. Warner Sills and weekend staff · Wednesday, May 24,2006 8:18 p.m.

Eigenmann RA dies in car crash

By Chris Freiberg and Warren Christopher Freiberg · Monday, May 22,2006 10:07 p.m.

Senior Alvin Henry, 21, was a popular Resident Assistant in Eigenmann Hall, known for his sense of humor and infectious singing of R & B hits. "At the start of the year I asked someone on his floor if you like your new RA, and he said, 'Yeah, we love Alvin! He's always singing in the shower,'" Eigenmann Graduate Supervisor Megan Hutchison said. Henry's voice was silenced forever Saturday night shortly after 8 p.m. when the car in which he was a passenger lost control and hit a semi on northbound I-65, just outside Crown Point, Ind., according to an Indiana State Police news release. Henry was ejected from the vehicle, which was traveling at a high rate of speed, and pronounced dead at the scene, according to the release. Police said alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
