Roommate wars

By Brian Frange · Thursday, April 17,2008 8:57 p.m.

Much like communism, a house with roommates does not work unless everyone contributes equally. I’m not a communist. I’m a materialistic, free-market capitalist and I understand the importance of incentives and personal gain. This is why, when you move into a house next year with four other guys, you’ll need to learn a few tricks to cope with the stresses.

Fun with guns

By Julia Boriss · Thursday, April 17,2008 8:56 p.m.

When I went home for Christmas break, I started noticing disturbing behavior around my house. Dad was prancing around singing Mariah Carey’s “All I want for Christmas is you,” but replacing the word “you” with “a 9 millimeter semi-automatic,” or sometimes “ammo.”

Dying chivalry

By Rachel Goldberg · Thursday, April 17,2008 8:55 p.m.

A few weeks ago, I was standing in line with one of my guy friends at the grocery store. We’d put all of our things in one cart, and at the very bottom of the cart, near the wheels, he’d stashed a pack of water bottles. As we piled our things on the counter, I asked, “Hey, can you lift up this water?” and he replied with, “Uh, can you just do it?”

Sexing up field trips

Thursday, April 17,2008 8:53 p.m.

As it turns out, your nostalgia for frequent field trips isn’t unfounded. And while you remember fondly when you used to go to museums or state parks, a class at Randolph College in Virginia is doing one better —it went to a brothel. It’s the legal kind, of course, nestled 60 miles outside of Las Vegas in a part of the country that refuses to separate entirely from the idea of the Wild West.

Smart People

Smarter to Skip ‘Smart People’

By Anna Piontek and Mark Bay · Thursday, April 17,2008 10:34 a.m.

In “Smart People,” Noah Murro’s directing debut about an aging academic and his family, both the ego and gut of Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid) have bloated with age.

Prom Night

Prom disaster

By Ernest Moore · Thursday, April 17,2008 10:28 a.m.

In Hollywood’s latest attempt to scare and leave audiences on the edge of their seats in suspense and fear, this movie about a night at the prom gone wrong fails to deliver a story line, actors or film direction that allows for the film to be anything other than a strong misrepresentation of the classic horror movies it attempts to remake and replicate.

Reservation Road

Too many reservations

By Chris Pickrell · Thursday, April 17,2008 10:23 a.m.

Where do you begin when you’ve seen the worst movie ever made? “Reservation Road” is supposedly a “touching” story about loss, forgiveness, redemption and other touchy-feely stuff.

Real as real can be

By Ryan Brown · Thursday, April 17,2008 1:09 a.m.

This week, I had the privilege of getting to sit down and read Henrik Ibsen’s play “Ghosts.” What I thought was going to be a lascivious romp about syphilis, adultery and the sinful life of artists left me somewhat disappointed.

‘The Longest Yard’ comes true

By Mike Abrams · Thursday, April 17,2008 1:05 a.m.

When the remake of “The Longest Yard” was made, I was stoked. I loved the original, and adding Chris Rock, Adam Sandler and Nelly to the mix gave me hope that this movie would be spectacular. When the time came, I went to a showing the opening weekend and sat through the entire thing with some popcorn and a Coke.

Flying High

By Joe Livarchik · Thursday, April 17,2008 1:04 a.m.

Looking at Bernadette Pace from a distance on the high-flying trapeze, one might expect to see someone young and agile, as she swings with grace and ease high in the air. Still going strong into her 60s, Pace remains active with her group of aerial performers, the Bloomington High Flyers.

A day to remember

By Amy Burke · Thursday, April 17,2008 1:02 a.m.

April 16, 2007, was a day to remember. A small group of students and community members joined together Wednesday in Dunn Meadow to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Virginia Tech massacre, where more than 30 students lost their lives in the deadliest school shooting in United States history.
