Female emporwerment through Hollywood

By Eden Kerr Perkinson · Thursday, Nov. 16,2000 11:11 p.m.

Feeling a little down recently, I have been doing some soul-searching. I've decided that my real life is OK. I still have the same great friends, have made some new ones and have turned 21 and thereby have had more social opportunities than ever. Classes are easy and grades are good. So what's lacking (besides the easy answer: boyfriend)? Recently, at a particularly horrible movie, I figured it all out.

CNN needs glasses

By Jeff Schogol · Thursday, Nov. 16,2000 11:03 p.m.

By Nov. 7, CNN must have realized that most Americans were downright apathetic toward this election. So how could the network attract viewers on election night when this year's selection was about as appealing as a choice between a punch to the throat and a knee to the groin? Simple: Treat the election like a basketball game; make the constantly changing score the emphasis of the coverage at the expense of accuracy.

\'Angels\' soundtrack fun, fresh

By Kate Lewis · Thursday, Nov. 16,2000 10:59 p.m.

While sitting in the theater watching "Charlie's Angels," one could not help noticing, albeit amid the fights, laughs and of course the Angels themselves, how incredible the music was. Purchasing the soundtrack, which is a compilation of tunes stretching back to the '70s, is truly worthwhile.

\'Liquored Up and Lacquered Down\'

By Jason Gaddis · Thursday, Nov. 16,2000 10:54 p.m.

There are two things that can make a good album. One is good music, the other is alcohol. With its seventh album, Liquored Up and Lacquered Down, Southern Culture on the Skids (SCOTS) accomplishes both of these, combining intelligent and interesting music with alcohol references galore.

'Les Miserables' still casts magical spell

By Gabriel Lewin · Thursday, Nov. 16,2000 10:48 p.m.

While many might not realize it, the musical sensation "Les Miserables" is more than 20 years old. But the musical version by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Shonberg, as timeless as Victor Hugo's novel, does not seem to be losing any luster.

Cash falls into mediocrity

By David Rosenstein · Thursday, Nov. 16,2000 10:43 p.m.

When reviewing Johnny Cash's latest album, American III: Solitary Man, one must keep in mind the question: Is it better to end one's career when you are ahead or slowly but surely sink into mediocrity? Johnny Cash is a man who influenced not only country but rock 'n' roll as well. He is the Man in Black; he is the rebel to end all rebels. His songwriting and singing reminds one of both white-paneled churches and dark back alleys.

\'Strait Up\' tribute

By Brett Wallace · Thursday, Nov. 16,2000 10:35 p.m.

True geniuses in mainstream music are rare. There is little doubt in most minds that Snot frontman Lynn Strait was a genius. On Snot's sole effort, 1997's Get Some, Strait and his Snot cohorts successfully created what they called a "hardcore lounge act," a furious blend of melody and aggression, pensiveness and rage.

California wise to pass drug law

Thursday, Nov. 16,2000 10:32 p.m.

California voters overwhelmingly supported Proposition 36 on Election Day, which will allow non-violent drug users to receive treatment instead of prison time. This sensible law saves taxpayers money while addressing a system of punishment that is simply not working in California.
