Epics, young casts and remakes can all be serious gambles when it comes to making good movies. With that in mind, the new version of \The Four Feathers"" has beaten odds that could make a scratch-and-win player blush.
It was sunny and I was in a bad mood despite the immediate prospect of Popeye's red beans and rice. We were facing another night in Chattanooga with some treacherous kids from Detroit, and as I bit into the macaroni and cheese, the phone rang.
Today, April 19, marks the anniversary of one of the most heroic acts of modern historic memory'the armed uprising by the doomed Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto. With but a few pistols, an occasional rifle and homemade bombs on that day in 1943, the trapped, walled-in partisans of that Nazi-imposed Jewish enclave took their final stand against several thousand heavily armed soldiers of Hitler's Wehrmacht, dispatched to annihilate every man, woman and child.
For UW students, faculty and alumni, the 1999-2000 school year will always bring back memories of the Badger men's basketball team's stunning run to the Final Four, and national prominence. Few may know that UW-Madison had a tremendous year off the court, joining a national elite in the field of research, where success is measured not in wins, but dollars.
I went into \Ice Age"" expecting to hate it. After all, others said it wasn't as smart as ""Shrek,"" my least favorite animated film of all time. But, about a half-hour into the movie, I realized that critics are a sullen crowd, happier with cynicism than sincerity. Where ""Shrek"" had been low blows and knowing in jokes, ""Ice Age"" is earnest and honest. While it is not stunning or grand, ""Ice Age"" does well to reach its modest goals.
HOUSTON'With stunning swiftness, a jury Tuesday convicted Andrea Yates of capital murder, rejecting the defense argument that she was in the throes of a psychotic breakdown and could not distinguish right from wrong when she drowned her five children in the family bathtub last June. She could be sentenced to death in the trial's penalty phase, scheduled to begin Thursday.
\We Were Soldiers"" should be a match made in heaven. America craves patriotic war movies, and Mel Gibson is the master of patriotic war heroes. Unfortunately, what could have been a very good movie is ruined by clich??s, excessive violence, one-liners and predictability. A couple of strong performances and its impressive scenery are outweighed by the movie's use of every cheap trick in the book, leaving it thoroughly mediocre.
Nobody loves me. This I know for sure. Well yeah, my family loves me. My friends love me, too. My friend Beth would tell me that Jesus loves me. I'm not talking about that. You know what I'm talking about: passionate love, what the ancient Greeks called Eros. The kind of love that makes you nervous and excited, calm and peaceful all at once. I'm talking about the balls-out-Barry-White-screaming-thigh-sweats kind of love.
SALT LAKE CITY'Under fire to reform a judging system that last week produced one of the biggest scandals in the history of the Winter Olympics, the president of the International Skating Union proposed sweeping changes Monday in the way figure skating is scored.
It starts with loaded guns. A child, answering nature's call, stumbles into her parents' room and is met with a harsh voice that tells her she might get shot. The child grabs her older sister's hand and they go outside into the blank landscape to pee in the loo. It continues to reveal children with ticks and worms, terrorists under the bed, some colonialism, alcoholism and a memoir strong enough to scour one's sense of the world.
When I was in about fourth grade, I had a very worldly neighbor, also in the fourth grade, who delighted in informing me about sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll and other such things.
It's all about home court advantage. Talk to the players and the coach, and they'll agree that playing to a familiar crowd is more comforting than facing their foes on the road. When the men's basketball team last faced the University of Illinois, the Badgers stunned the then-No. 7 Fighting Illini in a 72-66 win. The victory Jan. 5 gave Wisconsin its first Big Ten win of the season and catapulted it to 8-7 overall.
Some were on subways. Some were in class. Some were brushing their teeth and putting on make-up'simply getting ready for the day in a place far from home.
Well, it's fast approaching the end of the year. We all know what that means'best movies of the year lists! Here's the thing, though: I don't know what the best movies of the year are. I live in Madison, Wis.; I barely have a chance to see the successful movies, let alone the best ones. Those are probably just now hitting the art houses of New York to squeak in Oscar contentions.
\What I did, I did well, and I did for my country.""
I was walking down State Street one time with my friend Jack, when he waved at some guy going into the Triangle Market, and said, \'Sup.""
When one hears the name Frank Lloyd Wright, many images come to mind. Perhaps one thinks of the famed Fallingwater house in Pennsylvania or the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Although Wright's works are world renowned, his links to Madison and southwestern Wisconsin are still visible today.
COLUMBUS, Ohio'As the Ohio State players came off the field, they paused to sing their alma mater. Somehow, to each player, the words seemed just a little less hallowed than they normally are.
